Be forewarned, my friends, this will test your "hippie-dippie" patience.

But I plead that you give it a chance ... this tune (and album) was the end-all for me way back ...

OK,

Jericho Jones: an Israeli prog-rock band from the 70's. In Israel they performed as The Churchills.

Here is a band that is mainly known in Canada; The Tragically Hip: they have a different type of rock and the singer is voice is quite special.

More great stuff, thanks for it all. Particularly liked the Barefoot Truth and The Tragically Hip. I hope others are enjoying this as much as I am.

Glad you liked Minus the Bear. I have really enjoyed their stuff since discovering them as well. You might also check out The Postal Service and The Album Leaf.... Some additional music that I have discovered to be enjoyable.

The Postal Service:

"Such Great Heights"

"The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"

"Sleeping In"

The Album Leaf:

"Always for You"

"Streamside"

Here is a link to Minus the Bear's website just FYI.....

The Negro Problem. I might have posted them here before, but I'm not sure.

From their Broadway Show "Passing Strange" (film directed by Spike Lee):

And one more (self-made video is OK. Song is great).
