Underrated / Overhated

Enother episode dedicated to just one great song, this time Devil Got My Woman by Skip James.

Again joined by James (@sunderlorn on Twitter) - we discuss Skip's original and a radically weird cover by British folky John Martyn.

Brilliant song, two brilliant artists! Check me out on Instagram, YouTube and everywhere as BigYellowPraxis for more content

In this episode of my podcast about underrated music, I talk about Gentle Giant - one of *the* quintessential 70s prog bands - with Jake from the hard rock band Sleepcircle.

Gentle Giant are uniquely weird amongst the already uniquely weird 70s progressive rock bands, and never really saw the sort of commercial success that many of their peers did. They are definitely underrated, and worth listening to for any music fan.

Sleepcircle are a Vancouver, B.C based hard rock band who can be listened to on Spotify.

And are also on Twitter (@sleepcircleband), Instagram (@sleepcircle) and on Facebook.

Give them a listen and a like!

Not everyone loves comedy music - some people think it's just a bit goofy and silly. But I like it! And so does Brian from the TVTriviaPod podcast. You can find him on all the things @TVTriviaPod

The songs we talk about in this episode are:

Yer Blues - The Beatles
