Garland Jeffreys & Carmen McRae - Studio Recordings?

Well since we're talking McRae -- Mainstream Records is now officially on Bandcamp and they've put up the live album Woman Talk:

(They should fix that spelling, though! Link works.)

Yeah, several things (incl. ones I hadn't heard of) recently emerged from the Mainstream vault, posted a press release on Rolling Reissues.

Mainstream's Big Brother & The Holding Company, def. incl. Joplin, was a demo, sounds like, only issued when they became famous elsewhere, but worth hearing if you're into them/her at all; I especially like the Moondog round "All Is Loneliness."

Yesterday "Graveyard Rock" popped up on a playlist and I was instantly transported to 1981. I didn't realize it was a Jeffreys track until I looked it up, and I was surprised to see it wasn't released as a single. Was my local college radio station the only one that had this in heavy rotation?

I found Escape Artist in a used bin a few months ago and it's been in my own heavy rotation since. The only song of his I recall getting any airplay at the time was his cover of "96 Tears", and that was on the rock stations. I love his version but have never really liked the original. And they're not that different! Garland just makes it swing more. His music seems tailor-made for The Sopranos though I don't think they used any of it.
