Here’s a Hidden Gem that may be new to you. New York-born singer-songwriter Paul Siebel released the “Jack-Knife Gypsy” single in early 1971. The song was recorded in Los Angeles with Robert W. Zachary Jr. producing and comes from the album of the same name.

Have a listen to this crackin’ tune. It should have been a fair-sized hit in ’71. Alas, Siebel is best-known for writing songs for other artists or being covered by the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, and Waylon Jennings.
