I wanted to recommended this to you last. Beautiful music and somewhat underrated. J. Phillips is quite a pig as a person, but a talented musician.

I listen to LA PESTE - Boston punk
1976-1979 and can recommended.

Too late I posted first ha ha thanks for below though!
2 recommendations:
BRINSLEY SCHWARTZ - everthing
I'm afraid this recommendation was a waste of time. Successful & very good ( or relatively successful as, say, Led Zeppelin haha....hell with them...see Urban Aspirines).
As a counterpoint, the lesser- known & successful ( and it's happened again) the US singer songwriter
WILLIS HOOVER - HOOVER 1969
You'll like it !

I heard this again after a long time:
ERIC ANDERSEN - GHOSTS UPON THE ROAD (1988).
This is by one of my top songwriters - cd.
So beautiful, a must - have !!
I have 9 others by him - but this is maybe the best.

Genevieve Waite, John's wife & mother of BIJOU (who was allegedly born prematurely while the couple were kicking drugs) was also a Betty Boop-ish recording artist.
I can vouch for her album cover wholeheartedly:
