from her lost heavy folk rare gem 'paint a lady' in 1970!
almost 40 years ago now, a Philly based folk singer named Susan Christie was dropped by her record company. After one novelty song hit 'i love onions', the label bosses didnt think her melancholy take on country and solitude would ever be of any interest. Five copies of her album 'paint a lady' were pressed and faded into obscurity. Skip forward to present time, and a small label, Finders Keepers salvages three out of these five copies and decides to release it.
Susan Christies album is a beautiful piece of despondent tales and folky psychedelia. The fascinating thing is that it sounds very current.

@harrymydogharry Hey! do you have a facebook page? I'm going to post your song on my wall 'I love Onions" I love that song! lol I grew up on that song and totally freaked out when I seached for it and actually was able to hear it again. Do you have 'Onions" on iTunes?

what a shame this didnt get more play in 1970. It certainly speaks to the issues of the day.
