Would like to listen to more stuff from the 50s and early 60s but I'm looking for some different type stuff if possible for that early. Something dark or ahead of it's time or whatever. Thanks.

This is the first song that was ever released from my late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal in 1962.

God bless you and those who have loved him longer than me always!!!

Holly

P.S. His most well known song named "Down In The Boondocks" went to radio three years later.

I'm only going to stick to the 50s. Here's some "different" stuff. Not sure if they're ahead of their time though.

These are dark more in their context:


Angola Prison Spirituals by Various Artists


Street And Gangland Rhythms: Beats And ...In Trouble


Get On Board: Negro Folksongs By The Fo...al McMahan


Murderer's Home by Various Artists


Negro Prison Camp Worksongs by Prisoners At The Ramsey And Retrieve State Farms, Texas

This one's at a little unique:


Harmonica & Vocal Solos by Sonny Terry

This one's at least 6-7 years head of its time:


Willie's Blues by Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon

And these are notably ahead of their time:


Prélude Au Sommeil by Jean-Jacques Perrey


The Fascinating World Of Electronic Mus...Kid Baltan


Indeterminacy: New Aspect Of Form In In...avid Tudor


Rangkaian Lagu2 Sunda by Seni Sunda Studio Bandung


Gold Coast Saturday Night by Saka Acquaye & His African Ensemble


Highlights Of Vortex by Various Artists


Delirium In Hi-Fi by André Popp


Kodok Ngorek by Karawitan Studio R.R.I. Surakarta


Electronic Ballet Music "Cain And Abel" by Henk Badings


Voices Of The Satellites by Various Artists


The Oud by Aram Arakelian Ensemble


The Story Of Moondog by Moondog


1er Panorama De Musique Concrète by Pierre Henry / Pierre Schaeffer / Philippe Arthuys


Karlheinz Stockhausen: Studie I / Studi...ik (Köln)


And there's probably a few more picks here: Top 100 Music Albums of the 1950s by Hayden. I've been wanting to overhaul the list for a while now though.

I Hear A New World: An Outer Space Music Fantasy by Joe Meek & The Blue Men


Ghost Ballads by Dean Gitter


Man Bites Harmonica by Toots Thielemans
This isn't a weird album, but the cover and the name always cracks me up. 😁
