Kim Jung Mi - Now (1973)

Whew, folky Korean psych rock, just right to counter the frozen winds.  And the best of the best too!  Shin Joong Hyun is the godfather of Korean rock music.  He built his own radio to listen to American rock, got introduced the Beatles and acid, and made psychedelia a reality in Korea.  He was blacklisted for not singing a song to praise the Korean dictator, and was eventually arrested and tortured in prison/a psychiatric facility for marijuana charges.  Thankfully, he has since been released and his music has finally gotten world-wide acclaim.  This folk psych rock gem, "Now", has him playing guitar alongside the Francois Hardy of Korea (several other blogs used that comparison but I think it's a good one).  Her voice is gorgeous, his guitar is groovy, and this album rules.

Professor Longhair - New Orleans Piano (1973)

The great Roy "Bald Head" Byrd, also known as Fess.  This New Orleans street hustler developed an interesting style learning to play piano on a piano found in the trash with missing keys.  Sometimes called the "Bach of Rock and Roll", this guy never made it big until the very end of his life.  From his first band the Shuffling Hungarians, to his later work, Fess had to work as a janitor on the side just to pay his bills.  His legendary playing has at last been widely recognized though, and his music is still played all over the streets of New Orleans.
