All 3 of the Stepney/Callier collabo lps are amazing (_Occasional
Rain_, _What Color is Love?_, _I Just Can't Help Myself_). You owe
it to yourself to track them down.
You'd probably also enjoy Jon Lucien-- esp. _Rashida_. Midway
between a sweet & spiritual Callier folk sound & an almost Nascimento
flavor--
