Richard Barnes — “Take to the Mountains”, Jackson Frank — “Blues Run the Game”, Davy Jones — “You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving”: Brace for the Obscure (60;s rock)! — July 29, 2021

7) Richard Barnes, “Take to the Mountains”

It did hit #35 in the UK in May ’70.

8) Jackson Frank, “Blues Run the Game”

Bruce Eder calls Frank’s 1965 folk-rock album, from which I picked this song, “a lost classic, daringly complex and honest”. (https://www.allmusic.com/album/jackson-c-frank-mw0000084294) Yup. 

9) Davy Jones, “You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving”

No introduction necessary. Davy Jones, not Davy Jones the Monkee, but Davey Jones the David Bowie. His third single, from August ’65, yes 1965, with the Lower Third.
