June's Underappreciated Music: the links

The monthly assembly of undervalued and often nearly "lost" music, or simply music the blogger in question wants to remind you reader/listeners of...this month, a lot of bands and performers who haven't been Too terribly overlooked!--but also, even the most influential and legendary artists have produced some work that is easy to miss...even as we will miss a few of those cited below.

And, thinking of Ronnie Gilbert, Patrick Sky, most of the Byrds and others considered below, some folk-music magazine covers, including two from the two different magazines called Hootenanny, one keyed to the ABC television series (edited by Linda Solomon, a friend of then-fellow pro music critics Ted White and Harlan Ellison) and one not (edited by Lynn Musgrave and Robert Shelton, who helped Bob Dylan among others along, but Dylan particularly)...

    Richard--you might recall that in the mid/latter '60s, something flipped the mildly center-left Al Capp, and his comic strip "Li'l Abner", to a fairly reactionary stance, and one of the new characters was a strident folk musician, Joanie Phoanie (if I have the spelling correct). Baez was not altogether charmed.

    I'll reprint these comments under the relevant pos below, the June Music...
