I'll see your eclectic and raise you Harry Partch, Hawkwind, Dead Can Dance, and Tangerine Dream. :-) On a more serious note loved the bit about Allison Krauss and Robert Plant, Raising Sand is one of the best albums of the millennium, IMO.
Now on to Harry Partch who is rather more challenging as a micro tonal classical composer influenced by Gamlan music who made his own instruments out of stuff like discarded aircraft parts.
Haven’t heard this song in a while, thanks! Always a CC fan. Ever listen to the Underwater Sunshine podcast? It’s really great. Duritz does it with my dear friend James Campion, a fantastic music writer. They stopped doing it during Covid, but there are always rumblings about going back to it!
I have - but that may be because you posted/said something about it (or someone else did - I just have a vague memory trace because of the Covid issue).
To follow it, you must be clean, with mistakes that you do mean.
It cuts you up....
Cool, and do check out the ones you don’t know, you are in for a treat. Which ones were they?
I don’t recall ever hearing of Harry Partch or Hawkwind - but
I’ll check them out - “not hearing of” and “forgot about” are pretty much synonymous as I get older
Hawkwind has is Lemmy from Motorhead's first and IMO superior band.
I was just finding some of their stuff on Chordify - I saw the Lemmy references - interesting
I recommend Orgone Accumulator, Hurry on Sundown, and The Hawkwind version of the song Motorhead.

That is eclectic - only 2 of the 4 are familiar- you may have inspired next week’s post!!
