Really beautiful stuff. Makes me wonder what other music is out there, just waiting to be re-discovered.

Women in 1960s or 70s era folk and/or psyche are awesome but relatively "obscure" compared to their male counterparts. The most famous is probably Grace Slick, but I'd never heard of Linda Perhacs before this thread. There are probably many like her, but they're just not that popular. I like Melanie Safka (60s folk singer, Woodstock), but I only know one other person my age who's heard of her. I've come across only 1 or 2 of her records at a friend's house, put them aside to take home, but they ended up just getting mixed in with all the other dozens of orphan records. I also like Brenda Lee (girly music, I know), but I can never find her records at thrift stores and in randomly mixed crates even though she was a best-selling pop singer at one point.

Actually, it's pretty funny, because people always try to hype records as "sounds like Linda Perhacs" or starting threads on here or wrts.com asking "what are some records that sound like Linda Perhacs" but the end result usually seems to be that there are actually very few albums that sound like this.

In the US, Brenda Lee and Melanie are dollarbin staples. Melanie may be relatively obscure now, but is remembered by those who were there (she had a few hit singles along the way).
Now, Brenda Lee is my stuff...she had her "girly girl" moments, but she had a lot more soul and grit than some jive-ass diva like Connie Francis. Later on, she became a more MOR pop singer, but she was killer when she stuck with the rock & soul. Besides a handful of singles, I have two of her elpees, and I recommend them both:
- Memphis Portrait (1970 album where she does a Dusty In Memphis kinda deal...there are a few obnoxious cover versions of "Proud Mary" and things like this, but she NAILS "Do Right Woman - Do Right Man"...)
- Brenda Lee (from 1960...some of the tuffest female rockabilly this side of Wanda Jackson)

Perhacs herself wasn't that "popular" till the record collectors got to her, thirty-some years later...

all they probably mean is that they want some hippie-era female folk and they used Linda Perhacs as a reference point.
im not saying that its right or wrong, im just saying that it IS.
