Vox Hunt: Deserves To Be Heard
Audio: Share something extremely rare that deserves to be heard.

I'm not sure what constitutes rare in an age where anything can be downloaded, so I'll take this to mean: I have it, you probably haven't heard it, but you really should. So, here we go ...
Jolene's 1996 album In the Gloaming was probably the best album nobody heard that year. It came out on Sire Records just as the label was falling a part. The North Carolina band sort of tapped into that same Southern mystery that early REM did. Beautiful.
MC Stephen Hawkins is bad ass. And his website has a good number of free MP3s to prove it.

Best I can figure, this recording of Elvis Costello covering the Psychedelic Furs comes from a flexi disc (if you remember those) Very cool.
This came from a Warner Brother's Records promo disc. Nick Cave and The Flaming Lips doing "What a Wonderful World" at Lollapalooza 1994. It's not great, but it is cool.
Ted Hawkins spend most of his life busking at Venice Beach. Just before he died, he got to record one record for Geffen. Two tapes he used to sell were posthumously collected on Songs from Venice Beach. A must own piece of acoustic soul/RB.
This is Beck and Beth Orton covering The Stones. I found it P2P. It's kind of sloppy, but I like it. I asked Beth where it came from and she said it was just them jamming before a radio broadcast.
