Joshua Johnson
Underrated as shit.
The word underrated was made for Jackson C. Frank.
His live songs and demos are the best.
That raw emotion can't be replicated.
Connor Nelson
Clearly, you've never heard of Michael Hurley.
Christopher Bell
What about a Nick Drake cover of Jackson Frank in his style?
Adrian Rodriguez
Oops, forgot the link
Brody Morris
Oh god, this is like surround-sound sadness
Justin Rodriguez
Dialogue is literally suicide in music form
>His live songs and demos are the best
Huh guess ill check that out
Easton Miller
if you feel like crying, read his wikipedia article while listening to blues run the game
Blake Young
The '90s recordings, when he's a sick old man, are so haunting and beautiful.
Fred Neil was another underrated songwriter. His life wasn't really tragic, but he did give up music to save the dolphins. Which is its own kind of weird tragedy...
Also, Karen Dalton. Although I feel like she's gained a lot of recognition lately.
Ryan Davis
What is the album name, is it on Spotify?
And could, for more modern examples, East River Pipe, or Elliot Smith be considered examples?

Easton Perry
A lot of them were released posthumously and you can find them on Spotify on the Heartbreak Hotel album.
Luke Butler
Blues Run the Game is a great song, but the rest of his micro-opus is not as solid. It just isn't tuneful or memorable.
Matthew Martin
that's where you're wrong, kiddo
Wyatt Green
This is my favorite.
Hudson Foster
Shit, I thought this could never be topped

Thomas Hughes
