I saw them back in 2007/8, can't remember exactly when, at a 'Countryside Alliance' gig, Jeremy Clarkson was the compare, he'd just come back from the Arctic, anywho it was a good show with Mike d'Abo (handbags and gladrags) Bryan Ferry (Chis on guitar), Steve Windwood and headlined by Eric Clapton, Windwood stayed on stage to play a few Traffic numbers.
still wasn't impressed with Brian Ferry, just not my cup of tea
I'm a big Roxy Music fan so it's difficult to hear a bad word said about Bryan!! Have every vinyl... even Country Life that has to be put away when the family come to visit..
Great to hear you've seen CS though! Also got Clapton..!
George Thorogood and the Destroyers pretty much was bang on with this next track...

I'd normally leave well alone as their is nothing more subjective than music. But what the heck is going on with his vocals? Stage school accent faker. I thought they were Irish initially
Thank you john

love this...
Like that john good start to the day.

So many great musicians and bands he played with or supported.In no particular order; John Hiseman and Colosseum, Carl Palmer, Zoot Money, Graham Bond, Dave Greenslade, The Hill etc. Just a superb vocalist.
Twig,
I'm not 100% sure if he's still doing a bit even now. I saw him at the polish club in Amersham about 4-5 years ago.
John the two tracks you put on both great listening, keep it up.
This was part written by sonny bono ,for who I don't know but this girl was the first to record followed by many other. For me this remains the original and the best.
Back around 1962 I used to frequently watch cliff Bennett and the rebel rousers, they sang it regularly, but still love this most.
That's great bobbo.
Needles and Pins was one of the first records i ever bought - on an EP by The Searchers, but Jackie de Shannon's is obviously the definitive version.
RE above - Always a big fan of Chris Farlowe, and of Coloseum with the great Jon Hiseman and Dick Heckstlall Smith (and the others you mention) - great to hear them together -
RIP Phil May of the Pretty Things. They were heroes of mine in the early 60's - they seemed far more rebellious than the Stones. Their first single Rosalyn was great, really raw sounding.
Early footgae of them doing Don't Bring Me Down-
They want on to have a long and influential career, if not great commercial success, but many fans amongst well known musicians, and recorded one of the first story telling albums with S F Sorrow,a forerunner of the Who's Tommy.
They were still performing until very recently, when Phil May was diagnosed with emphysema.
Great listening ray. Saw it a couple of days back just had time to play it. Keep em coming.
I thrive on music I like. Been to a good few concerts over years, and no matter who I've been to watch come away with real feel good feeling. I've flown out to US about 7 times to see James Taylor.
Lucky enough to see the PTs in their final year live in Nottingham. Only about 100 in the audience but they blew them all away!
Okay just re read ... didn't know he had died? Wow.
Marlena Shaw - California Soul
I'm sorry to disagree with the majority on here, but everyone's taste is different, thank God.
I saw Chris Farlowe live and couldn't believe how poor he was, especially in his highest charting desecration of the Jaggers & Richards song 'Out Of Time'.
See below
I thought of Farlowe as just a cover artist - buddying up with the Stones etc. Nothing more than that?

Music is very important to me too bobbo. I'm impressed by you going to the States all those times to see James Taylor - I'm a big fan of West Coast singer/songwriters of that era too - Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell being particular favourites, and here are two of the best-

definately not milo.
When i used watch him way back he had his own band behind him " the thunderbirds " although I bow down to the fact he was nowhere near the dizzy heights of the stones.
I've sent a pm to mr micawbers and ray smith in last 48 hours, tell me lads did you get the msgs.
Not sure I got the sending right.
I have sent you a pm bobbo - didn't get your first message.
Sorry, I haven't looked on this thread for a couple of days, otherwise i would have got in touch with you before.
I know it's not Friday night but because I'm a oldie now most of my contributions are from way back and this Conway twisty one is no exception
That sounds great bobbo - I'm an old'un myself, but don't really remember Conway Twitty, never realised how good he was.
This is one of the first records to really get my feet tapping, really made an impression when i first heard it blasting out of the radio-
Rock Island Line by the great Lonnie Donnegan -
Where would music be without the great Lonnie D, Mark Knopfler pays tribute to Lonnie for his love of music and influence in the early years.
Two top drummers featured n the Art of Drumming TV series- special one baker and Billly cobham, but two of my favourite bands anyway.
.
Also, The Who, featuring the great Keith Moon -
Who - Legal Matter?
here's couple from "playing for change"...
Playing for Change - the Weight
Playing for Change - All Alone the Watchtower
loved the weight JC . people from the four corners all loving what they're doing.
not sure i can match that today but i'll try.
just a couple of all american girls from the late fifties/early sixties . as a teenager i loved em.
Paul Hardcastle.........Nineteen
Brilliant versions of classic songs, JC, with a great sentiment behind them .
Here's Bob Dylan and Robbie Robertson and The Band doing All Along the Watchtower.
Loved that Skeeter Davis song, too, bobbo, when i was young. Here's another classic from that era, It's My Party. Lesley Gore
Big Country covering The Boss
Keep it going all , some great clips and number being dug up. Xlnt entertainment .
here's a couple more, one you might not of heard and one you'll sure to have?...
Sharif - Dangerous Destination
Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
Both good numbers JC ,
just to keep it going here's an original that was covered by the stones and the hollies
That song was a real favourite of mine bobbo, in fact i still know all the words - I bought it on a Stones EP -
Stones live version -
the EP also had a cover this classic by the Coasters
-
5 people 1 guitar...
Walk off the Earth - Somebody that I used to know
love the AC/DC version but this is a bit special...
Walk off the Earth - Thunderstruck
Moody Blues - Question (Royal Albert Hall, I was there!)
Never heard of walk off the earth , you keep coming up with a few jems john.
I'm spurred into sticking another original on but covered later on by the the big three and the beatles
Original version two years before Peggy Lee's classic version, Little Willie John was 17 when he recorded this.
Welcome to the music gang dodgin. Great sound mate.
Great stuff Dodgin - and great user name btw!
Fever is a classic, and i well remember Peggy Lee's version, an eevn Bob dylan has sung it in concert, but don't think I've this version before.
I was i influenced enough to but original material by some of the r and b artists the 60s groups like the Stones, Beatles and Pretty Things covered, and got into the likes of Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Howlng Wolf, Slim Harpo, Muddy Waters and Sonny Terry and Brownie Mcghee - all easily available in record shops at the time.
I even bough a Leadbelly LP in Woolworth's with Rock island Line, a big hit for Lonnie Donnegan, on it.
Original Little Red Rooster by Howling Wolf, a massive hit for the Stones-
Money by Barrett Strong covered by Beatles , Stones
Great vids White JC - remember Question by the Moody Blues well, another sng I remember the words to.
My first wife owned it,so it brings back mixed memories!
That looks like a great concert.
The original version of 'God Gave Rock And Roll To You'
Remember that well Barrett, great song.
They used to be The Zombies didn't they, had a big hit with She's Not There.
They were a top band, maybe didn't get the success they deserved.

I saw Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone a few years ago, playing local to me, their set was a mix of Argent, Zombies & Blunstone solo hits. Blunstone was never in Argent (Russ Ballard), but he and Rod Argent were the driving force of The Zombies.
One for the Fulham Ladies, She's not related to Harry or Karen, it's the glorious Mary Chapin Carpenter top songwriter.

Now that was music.
the Carpenters - Superstar
Eurythmics - I saved the world today
KD Lang - Constant craving
Alice in chains unplugged. If you haven't already heard this gig (available to stream or on CD) it's an absolute classic gig. They hadn't played live for I think three years, pick up their guitars (Acoustic obviously) and create a masterpiece. This is just one track from the set so I recommend listening to the whole hour!
Having today just cancelled my alpine holiday I was reminded of this:
Beth Hart - Bad Woman Blues (Official Music Video)
Quote from: RaySmith on June 04, 2020, 09:06:21 PM
the EP also had a cover this classic by the Coasters
The Coasters also covered Love Potion No.9, but here's the best version imo (The Searchers did a good version as well)
Talking of the Searchers
Had Love Potion Number 9 by the Searchers on an EP, Barrett, but that's a great version.
I saw them once, coming out of a guitar shop in Shaftesbury Avenue, but didn't speak to them or didn't ask for their autograph, of course -too uncool.
But it's still great to hear their music.
Talking of covers, just acquired a great record - Dexys Do Irish and Country Soul -
Richie havens cover of the Beatles here Comes the Sun
The Faces cover of Etta James I'd rather Go blind - Ronnie Lane's last gig with them
Sade - the sweetest taboo
Steve Winwood - Can't find my way home
Paul McCartney (Beatles) - For No One
It slipped past on Friday but checked it all out this morning and loved it all.
Here's a little number by Harry Nilsson , later covered By sandie
Some good stuff here, Bobbo. I suspect that most of today's offerings won't be remembered 40+ years later like many of these.
Here's "The Girl from the Hiring Fair" by Ralph McTell. He's well-know for another song that's been played to destruction but this is far better in my view. Fairport also do it but you can't beat the original:
Great choice Holders, lovely song a folkies favourite.
My Favourite country singer from his best album Down and Dirty.
Dodgin,holders , l like yer choices keep it going gang.
A bit of advice from Richard Thompson for all those going shopping today -
Bob Dylan has an album of new material released this week, his first for about 8 years.
This song is from the album that first turned me on to Dylan The Times They Are A'Changing, which still seems very relevant- a Tulse hill comp schoolmate said 'you've got to here this bloke', and we sat on the floor in of one of the listening booths in WH Smiths , Streatham High Road, and i was completely amazed by what i heard, going into my local record shop days later and asking for the record by Bob Dielon.
Bob and Richard together -love this cover of a Rye Cooder song, find it moving, even if Dylan does look a bit under the weather -
Carpenters - rainy days and Mondays
Beautiful.
I raise a metaphorical glass to Karen Carpenter - this song seems very poignant in the light of what happened to her. She was so talented, and her premature loss, so sad.
Evanescence - Cruel summer
Robben Ford & Larry Carlton - talk to your daughter
Tom Petty - the Last DJ
There are great country guitar pickers and then there is Albert Lee. The Yanks love him. Country Boy.
We've all been here haven't we, especially after Fulham have been hammered, or even if they won!
Unreleased Neil Young album from the 70's released today, Homegrown - this is on it
Sidanddoris - Brillaint! Freddie King is a blues great. I saw him at the Garden Party, Crystal Palace Bowl in the 70's, he and Eric Clapton were on stage together.

Glad you liked it Bobbo. It was year ago now that i managed to see Neil Young in Ireland, with Bob Dylan - he was absolutely brilliant.
couldnt resist a bit of JT live
Great stuff bobbo - I think you'll appreciate this.
Another great West coast singer/songwriter-
A bit of poetry-
I think I may have put this one on before, but it merits another listen as it's my favourite James Taylor song...
over my morning coffee I suddenly thought "Roger Daltrey"
so if you're reading this Ed these are for you :54:
Roger Daltrey - say it ain't so Joe
This line-up includes Keith Moon and Jimmy MacCulloch (Wings, Thunderclap Newman, Stone the Crows) covering Murray Head's say it ain't so
Roger Daltrey - under a raging moon
Drummers in order of play...
Martin Chambers (the Pretenders)
Roger Taylor (Queen)
Cozy Powell (Whitesnake, ELP, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck)
Stewart Copeland (the Police)
Zak Starkey (the Who, Lightening Seeds, Oasis, the Waterboys, the Icicle Works)
Carl Palmer (ELP, Asia)
Mark Brzezicki (Procul Harem, Ultravox, the Cult, Big Country)
A couple from Lindisfarne. On the first one, lead vocals are by Ray 'Jacka' Jackson, who composed and performed the mandolin parts of Maggie May. John Peel sat in and mimed, famously, for a TOTP performance. The second is the late, great Alan Hull.

On another occasion, at a live gig, a friend (Chris Eccleshall) played the mandolin part. He's a luthier and subsequently made my own mandolin. There's a tutorial for the mandolin part on youtube and it's surprisingly playable, whilst sounding impressive.
Now HERE'S the late great Dave Hum, banjo maestro. Just listen to the variations on the basic tune:
I'm a big fan of Burns' songs but not of the piano. However, here's the best version of "Green Grow.." that I know, played on the piano. It's the words that matter, Burns really was a wordsmith.
I was a big fan of Alan Hull, Lindisfarne's main song writer and bought his solo albums. Liked the band too, and have seen them a few times.

I really can't say for certain but it was just after Fog on the Tyne and Genesis were just starting out, before they became big. It would have been at a Poly or Uni somewhere south of London. My memory isn't up to any more these days...
I saw that Arthur Lee and Love's 2003 Glastonbury performance was on telly a couple of days ago so have recorded it. I saw them at a very strange venue - Slough Community Centre. It was a Nissen hut, probably long demolished. They had some puny coloured lights but Arthur just came on and said "put all the lights on so you can see us" So the "lightshow" was the fluorescent tubes flickering!
As to church venues, the strangest was the RC church in Feakle (yes, really) in rural west Ireland a few years back. I'd gone to see my favourite fiddler's duo (he comes from the village). He and the guitarist sat in front of the altar with all the candelabras arrayed behind them and all the hundreds of candles lit. That was their lightshow.

In fact, i entitled a short story I've recently written after it: the main character is returning to his old family home in West Norwood,and visits a pub, he used to go in all those years ago, and remembers when they had a jukebox with that track on it - now it's just piped music.
'Loved that that song by Python Lee jackson, aka Rod Stewart' he muses. 'and was that Jeff Beck on guitar?' though i don't know if that's true or not.
But when i was deciding on the title for the story to enter a competition, that flashed into my mind - great title, i thought

The last time i saw them was at pub in Crystal Palace - one owned by Tartan Breweries, who made Newcastle Brown, so presumably that was why were in such a small venue. I remember Alan Hull wasn't with them, which annoyed me a bit.
Also the Cambridge Folk Festival, 1981
https://youtu.be/r88zf3NI1lI
Also the Crystal Palace Bowl, Garden Party, with Yes and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, 1971 i think.
We Can Swing Together was always a great end of their concerts, with the crowd participating, sort of says what they were all about, i suppose such a great live band, made great records too,

Just read a review of a bio the brilliant guitarist and singer/songwriter , Glasgow born,John Martyn.
A Jekyll and Hyde character, abandoning his first wife Beverley, with whom he made a record, and child, who had to go on benefits, while he was spending money on drugs, the bio alleges.Also, that he took on a group of 12 blokes, who'd abused a waiter in an Indian restaurant, headbutting two, and the others backed off.
But he wrote such tender love songs, including this one about troubled friend, Nick Drake

Love In a Broken Dream JC.
In fact, i entitled a short story I've recently written after it: the main character is returning to his old family home in West Norwood,and visits a pub, he used to go in all those years ago, and remembers when they had a jukebox with that track on it - now it's just piped music.
'Loved that that song by Python Lee jackson, aka Rod Stewart' he muses. 'and was that Jeff Beck on guitar?' though i don't know if that's true or not.
But when i was deciding on the title for the story to enter a competition, that flashed into my mind - great title, i thought
I've heard that Beck played on it, but it could just be an urban myth
Wow I was told, and since always believed, that it was Eric Clapton!?

A very different rendering of the old Larry Williams number slow down. By alexis corner and Steve Marriott
I haven't heard either of those versions before bobbo - but they are both completely different, and both brilliant.
Alexis Korner is still going I believe, such an important figure in the British music scene of the 60's but it was shame what happened to Steve Marriott - robbed of his earnings by the American Mafia, he returned to England penniless, and died young - but from this video here you can see how talented he was.
Stay Free The Clash
Melody riffs attitude....got the lot
COYW
I didn't know about the mafia bit , but I knew he was stitched up but knew no more than that ray.
I used to watch cliff Bennett a lot when I was about 16 and he used to do "slow down" I'm gonna see if I can dig it out.

No, it was Mick Liber who played on that song.

I only saw Hamp for the first time at the Capital Jazz Festival, in the eighties, then a couple more at the Festival Hall He was such a dynamic musician and leader.
I thought I'd start this early today as we're all(?) be busy this evening watching/listening to the match.
here's some great "live" versions...
the Who - won't get fooled again
Hall & Oats - she's gone
Rod Stewart & Ron Wood - mandolin wind
Another great song from the same Unplugged session as Mandoiln Wind, and the same great album-Reason to Believe
The Pogues, with Cait O'Riordan on vocal, I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every day
The Who, My Generation at Woodstock
here's a couple more while we're waiting for the match to start...
Go West - king of wishful thinking
The Lightning Seeds - the life of Riley
My offering tonight " a classic "
Great stuff bobbo, quite rare to see/hear Blue performed i think. River, from that album is a favourite all time song, I've posted on here before.
Here's another song from Blue, A Case of You. I actually was at this concert at Wembley Arena, 1983-
Just read an article about Joni at Isle of Wight in 1970, having a hard time, with audience heckles and someone actually coming on stage to make a speech, but she kept going, although she did have a go at the audience at one point-
something a bit more mellow this evening...
Ian Mathews left Southern Comfort, after their successful single Woodstock, this is from the album the band made without him.
This album wins my "worst cover" I've ever seen, so far, but this is the stand out track...
Southern Comfort - take a message
one of my all time favourites...
The Beach Boys - god only knows
Great band, love this singer
RIP Judy Dyble-
Sandy Denny, with Fairport Convention, love this-
Both great choices, Ray.
Been dithering and watching toooo much football and yet again missed Friday night music .
Great contributions gang love it all.
I know it's not Friday but when it comes I sometimes forget , so here's a little James Taylor offering.
BB King did this, original is way back Seventy years ago by Roy Hawkins.
Doobie Brothers - China Grove
Bachman Turner Overdrive - you ain't seen nothing yet
RIP Scottish born jazz singer Annie Ross, who died this week
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
Memories from a favourite film:
just had to sneak this in...
Thunder - Turn Left at California
Aw ray I never heard Annie Ross died. I saw her live at Ronnie scotts. When it was in gerrard street .
A great memory bobbo.
Blimey bobbo, you must have seen some top musicians if you were a Ronnie Scott's regular. Never been in the famous jazz Club myself, though used to go to the Marquee a lot.
Never seen Annie live, but she used to be on TV a lot when i was young, and she's been in top some films too I think, and had quite a life.
So many people I grew up with dying recently.
I went to Ronnie's when it was in Gerrard Street, Bobbo may recall the lighted candles on the table's. I do, pulling one forward to light a cigarette the wax ran down my suit, ruined it, came from Krett's in Tooting.
RIP Peter Green, death announced today
I had no idea of this when i posted the above vid of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
But I had a sort of premonition - I was thinking of writing something about the highly talented, and a great complement to the outstanding Peter green, Danny Kirwan's sad end a couple of years ago, as a homeless alcoholic, who suddenly dropped out of the band after few, highly successful years, and I knew that Peter had had his troubles, and dropped out when he was at his peak, one of our best, if not the best, blues guitarists ever, but was wondering how he was doing now.
So I was shocked to suddenly see the news of Peter's death. You only have to listen to him to appreciate just how great he was.

I had the honour to meet him on several occasions, he was one of the true greats, up there with Clapton, but very humble, Fleetwood Mac was his band however he didn't want the limelight and suggested that Mike Fleetwood and John McVie name his band!
dodgin and ray. I actually only went to Ronnie Scott's that one time, just with a couple of girls and a mate I would have been 17 at the time. Wher I did go regularly was a club called " the discotec " in wardour street it was next door to the flamingo , up a set of stairs . Lots of blue beat music an Purple Hearts flying about. Actually met my wife there. They never turned out till 6.00am .
Bobbo, I was next door at the Flamingo many times, first was a lunchtime record session, when I was in my very early teens. Even took my first late wife there on our debut date. She also lived a ten minute walk from Craven Cottage. Last live gig I went to was just before the lockdown saw this lady.
Anyone else remember the Greyhound in Croydon as a music venue?
Blimey dodge we poss could have been in the same places at the same time all those years bac.Did you go to the other club " the scene " just off windmill street , saw Chris farlowe , Georgie fame there before he became resident at the flamingo.
Back to what this board is about COYW tonight .
Bit before that time Bobbo, Tony Kinsey Quartet was the resident group at the Flamingo, was more into the Jazz scene in those days, early sixties with visits to the Two Brewers in Wandsworth High Street to see UK jazz Ronnie Ross and Bert Courtley, Odeon Hammersmith for Dave Brubeck,Sarah Vaughan and Erroll Garner.

Yes, I saw a few bands there in the 70's - often on a Sunday night.
Tony McPhee's Groundhogs (?), springs to mind, Focus, top Dutch band of the day, Vinegar Joe with Elkie Brooks,
but my memory's a bit hazy.
That was one of the few venues i knew of , near me, south of the river.
Also, closer to home, a regular at The Cricketers, Keninton Oval, had a lot of jazz, and a great DJ, where I met my wife, and the Half Moon , Herne hill -where Little Stevie Smith, brilliant harmonica player and singer led the resident band, SALT, which often featured Mick Hawksworth of Ten Years After on bass, i went out with a woman who lived in his house, but that's another story!
I actually remember going to a folk club at the Half Moon in the 60's, but then it became right dive -a lot different today i think.
Speaking of dives which these pubs often, brilliantly, were, anyone remember The George Robey, Finsbury Park? a big music pub.

I used to regularly see Curved Air there, lusting after Sonja Kristina, then years later sitting next to her at a dinner.
Anyone remember the late lamented Ram Cider House in Godalming? It was a top-class session pub.
Actually Curved Air came to mind whe i thought of the greyhound, but wasn't sure if my memory was tricking me.
I was a huge fan of Curved Air, bought their records. I've always loved a violin, and with her singing, they were great.
She had a lovely voice, and i definitely remember seeing her, as a solo artist i think, at Chalk Farm Roundhouse.
She went along touching the reaching out hands of the blokes standing at the front, of whom i was one!

I missed the touching at the Greyhound, couldn't quite reach! Made up for it by being able to say that I've had dinner with her.
I'd give my right arm to play the fiddle and used to be a fan of Darryl Way. Then I went to a gig in a pub in South Devon and saw a well-known local band (Baka Beyond) with this terrific fiddler (Paddy le Mercier). Said to a friend "Darryl Way eat your heart out" and he said "that's him over there". He lived/lives in the village and used to go to the sessions my friend ran in the pub there but never played. He said that he had to learn a piece or sight-read, couldn't play by ear. Anyway, a couple of days later Darryl was playing in a duo with a singer and playing keyboard. Le Mercier was watching and Darryl looked very nervous. He only played the fiddle once. So since then he's gone down in my estimation.
There's so many good fiddlers...
Focus are still going, by the way. They played in Taunton late last year.
Well done you three ( holders ray and dodgin ) you've done much more than me , I feel like I missed out a bit,.
But I got married young (19) and missed out on a lot of live gigs.
Getting in a day early but these ultra perfectionists warrant it . Saw the at Wembley about 20 years ago.
same song, 4 different groups...
Foxes & Fossils - love is the answer
England Dan & John Ford Colley - love is the answer
Utopia - love is the answer
Todd Rundgren - love is the answer
After finding a mutual appreciation for Curved Air with Holders, I was thinking of the violin in rock, and here are some fine examples-
Curved Air, with the great Sonja Kristina on vocals, Darryl Way, violin.
It's a beautiful day, Patti Santos, vocal, David Laflamme, violin-
Bob Dylan, with Scarlett Rivera, violin-
Thanks Ray. I knew the Curved Air but the other examples are new.
For fiddle in rock, try Communion by East of Eden:
It's such a versatile instrument and sounds good in all genres. There used to be a blues guitarist who went to the Ram sessions and fiddle accompaniment to that just added another depth. Ric Sanders turned up there once as well. He was busking with a mate on the melodian, it got a bit "competitive" and the other musicians dropped out just leaving Ric and Dave. At the end they called it an honourable draw and Ric asked him if he's like to play with them (Fairport) at the Civic Hall the following night "no, sorry mate, I'm working nights at the post office". I'd have gone sick!
Meantime, may I recommend the incomparable Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill:
in particular "PJ's pecurious Pachabel", starting at about 12.50? I booked them at the end of a European tour (Toulouse, Paris, Berlin etc...) to play our little village hall on Dartmoor. The roof nearly came off and people still talk about it.
here's a another, Jefferson Starship (74/75) Papa John Creach on violin...
this is what the Grateful Dead thought of him...
(http://i0.wp.com/www.thevinyldistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/dead-allah.jpg)
Some great music on this thread but feel I'm living in the distant past. Try this. Not current but a great song IMO.
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea
Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart
For those that have the time the extended version is better but here is the shortened version. It was the theme tune from Big Little Lies.
Something slightly more recent, especially for those who remember James Toseland (ex World Superbike champion and MotoGP rider)
Can see this band going places if COVID-19 allows !
Fontaines DC - Boys in the Better Land
Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin
Rod Stewart - Mandolin wind
The Police - Every little thing she does is magic
dodgin . dont nag me but i only just played your last weeks post of Jo harrop. been really busy all week.
for me its one of the best postings since this friday night music began. it reminds me of my late wife .
just the sort of music she would enjoy , very billy holiday-ish but with a sweeter voice .
I'll be looking out for her . id like to go see her .
Some great songs about bad men-
Emmylou Harris, Pancho and Lefty
Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Billy
Linda Ronstadt, Desperado
Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Joey
Might not appeal to all but one of a small handful of artists that couldn't hit a bad note even if they tried.
This lady is at the top of a short list , that includes Karen carpenter , nat king cole
Sorry if already on here, but was thinking of the Super Whites...
Skip to past a minute!
Here's a top-class fiddle, viola and cello quartet. Maybe not to everybody's taste but give it a chance. How they weave those patterns is incredible.
I think the first tune is beautiful but start from 4 mins if you prefer something livelier.
Just playing it through, look at the expressions on 2nd violin and viola's faces when 1st Violin plays a bum note at 16.30!
Stanford Townsend Band - smoke from a distant fire
Climax Blues Band - couldn't get right

I'm constantly putting up numbers from the 60s and tonight no exception . It's just that it was my era.
Saw this band many times - brill imo
Some great songs about the demon drink-
Richard and Linda Thompson, Down where the drunkards roll-
Loudon Wainwright- Down drinking at the bar-
Rod Stewart, What made Milwaukee famous-
The Pogues
Great shout Kimbleman - the brilliant Joan Armatrading.
Heard someone talking about her on the radio the other day, and was thinking of posting something here.
Did i really see her at Blackbushe Aerodrome, supporting Bob Dylan , all those years ago? seems like a dream.
She's very underrated i think.
A lesser known Kinks track, but one of their best imo
And another old track from the 70s
Only 24 hours late which isn't bad for me👍

First time I've looked at this thread. Some excellent music. Remember places like the Greyhound, Half Moon, Middle Earth, Eel Pie Toby Jug etc from the 60's and 70's . Unfortunately I'm not very techie but for something a bit different have a look at Greensky Bluegrass version of Floyds Time/Breathe. You will either love or hate.

I like it, especially the instrumental bit, rather like you'd hear at a decent pub session. Bit like the Pachebel i quoted under Hayes & Cahill above.

Sandy was 'Britain's answer to Joni Mitchell', but never really broke through commercially, and died i her early 30's. While ex-lover Frank, was severely burned in a childhood fire in America, and travelled to England and was a part of the 60's folk scene, but had a breakdown and disappeared, and was accidentally discovered years later living on the streets in America, and died young, after only releasing one album, but his songs are widely covered and his talent highly respected.
Gene Clarke, the ex-Byrd never had the success after the Byrds that many thought his talent warranted , and died young -

That book could be worth a small fortune these days.
As an oldie and a music lover, just realised what I've been missing with "Friday Evening Music". Just played Heart playing "Stairway to Heaven", brought tears to my eyes, thanks Sunbury White. There are some wonderful selections on offer, thank you all.
Hello all.
I know it is early for a Friday night in your part of the world for this thread but as a long time visitor to FoF I thought it high time a contribution was made.
There is understandably a little despondency around at the moment so maybe the youthful charm and talent of Angelina Jordan may bring some cheer to you. Am a big believer in the yoof policy.
There is some brief, introductory blather by the presenter in the first song but it is minimal.
For those of you who have not previously heard Angelina, I hope you enjoy. :drums:
I believe she is already 6'1 so maybe we could have a look at her in the January window too.
Curved Air - back street Luv
Faces - stay with me

Bing Crosby and Jose Feliciano, five instruments from one guitar.
The Faces at their bawdy, boozy best.
Sonja Kristina and Curved Air- was a huge fan back in the day - and they stiil sound good. I think that was their only hit single.
Wishbone Ash - I had a mate who was mad about them, but I wasn't convinced, but I enjoyed that vid.

I was just about to hit the sack when I saw your response.
Angelina can be hit or miss (in truth, awful on occasion but she is yet to turn 15), but when she gets it right, she is peerless. Maybe a once in a lifetime talent.
Check out her versions of "Stay", "I Will Survive", "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" and "Fly me to the Moon".
I will link them if you like.
Cheers.
Wombat you must be in OZ , where?
I normally get down there twice a year sometime more often.

Yep Bobbo. But on the other side of the place to your daughter.
Thankfully in Covid free Perth.
Living pretty much a normal life apart from a blanket ban on non-essential overseas or interstate travel.
Our "hard border" is still in effect and will stay that way for at least the next 2 months.
Your daughter would be having a much harder time of it. It has been a bit of a mish-mash on the Eastern seaboard.
And I know it is not Friday night but one last Angelina performance for you. :HD:
BTW: I keep typing your name as Boobo (for some reason) so please don't be offended if I miss correcting it on occasion!
no probs mate ive been called a lot worse than that . keep the music coming .
having just listened to RaySmith's excellent recommendation of Steve Earle and Emmylou's duet reminded me of one of my favourite , though very different, songs...
If any of you are into rock you may enjoy Paul Anka's 'Rock Swings' and anything by Hayseed Dixie.
Copperhead Road is a briliant song White JC, tells a real story, there's so much in it - and a great, passionate performance by Steve , of course. Great choice.
I was recently reminded of Steve's book of his outstanding short stories, Doghouse Roses , about the types of characters who inhabit his songs - brilliant writing, with all Steve's usual empathy and compassion for the underdog.
His novel is pretty good too - I'll Never Get out of This World Alive.
And that's alongside all his great records and performances.
Spancil Hill, thank you Ray. I went there once...
Lets get things moving. New round of footy and we are up and about again.

And sorry again to bore you with my fixation, but here is the sublime Angelina. The music starts at roughly 1.30 if Rosie is not your thing. The ending is quite sweet.

There's not much to it, just a crossroads and a pub. Mind you, it was raining at the time which didn't help, so I didn't go up the hill itself. Perhaps I should have. Next time, maybe.
I have an Irish friend who has quite the best male singing voice that I've heard. We were down the pub one session night with his new girlfriend and he got his guitar out and sang Spancil Hill. Part way in, she started laughing uncontrollably. At the end she said that she loved the song but found the title hilarious. He never sang it again.
But he did sing this (for her) superbly (better than Christy Moore, dare I say?):
I was in Kilkenny just over a year ago, to see Neil Young and Bob Dylan. After the concert the pubs were full of Gaelic football fans, and there was live music - great atmosphere. Previously in Dublin a bloke sold me a poem in a pub.
Love Christie's music, the magic a select few can achieve with just their own voice and a guitar - Neil Young and Bob Dylan, two more btw-
Christie's covers of trad and modern songs are great, as well as his own material. Here, of Pink Floyd's tribute to late ex-bandmate, Sid Barrett, Shine on You Crazy Diamond-
With the great Sinead O' Connor
I saw Bob Marley in 1980/1, at the Crystal Palace Bowl shortly before he died, and he played this, a favourite song, that is relevant to what's going on at moment as reported on the FFC website, Black History Month

Since March Friday has become Karaoke night at our house
My musical tase isn't mainstream by any stretch of the imagination so here goes
Nice choice Mavericks ND cover. Malo has got some pipes. Mavericks great band, know most of their music, never heard this cover.
Lindsey Buckingham: One of the most underrated guitarists ever.
I Think this is a bit tidy

Yep very good bass white Jc, not my taste that particular song but excellent musicianship
Here's another maestro on bass, more to my taste (oh and and maestro on Lead too - Moore to my taste, see what I did there?)
And original band, different song but brill bass again

This man attempted to put his own spin on it.
was out fishing all day yesterday got home late and missed out . however this is my offering this week
Great choice Bobbot- one of The Beatles/ Lennon's best.
And your previous choice, James Taylor and Carly Simon - beautiful song, by a great singer/songwriter, and, wife at the time(?), Carly Simon isn't so bad either!
Some personal Old Grey Whistle test favourites-
Joan Armatrading-
The Pogues
Bob Marley
Jackson Browne-
Rough and ready with some glitches but still good..
And to get you up and about in the despair of these Covid times you are all enduring. The 10 year old Angelina again.
Angelina has some voice for ten year old HW - impressive.
Your other track's a great version of a timeless classic..

Angelina is a freakish talent. To me, and I know this will cop a lot of derision, she is is already the best female singer I have heard.
This is the song that sent her her viral on the internet.
BTW, it was a young country woman of yours, Alma Deutscher, that led me to Angelina. Alma is music.
I could barely operate a spoon and fork at these kids age.
Oldies will know this one a little gem.
Nine Below Zero - Don't point your finger at the guitar man
Dr Feelgood - Milk and Alcohol
Robert Palmer - addicted to love
This weeks offering. Georgie Fame saw him a few times n the early 60's at " the scene " just off gt windmill street soho.
When I was a kid, the teacher at my primary school invited us to bring in our favourite gramophone records. So I took "The Old Sow" by Albert Richardson, a timeless classic. She played a bit then whipped the needle off saying "we're not listening to that". She was a snooty moo in other ways as well.
This featured in an episode of the brilliant The Sopranos (which has a great soundtrack), which i've been re-watching on Netflix.
My wife introduced me to Tim Buckley when we met all those years ago - a clue, all the records were vinyl!
Anyway, I had to listen to this again, and rediscovered how brilliant Tim Buckley was-
Listening to an old Steve Earle record, and really liked this-
I first saw the Rolling Stones at the Richmond Jazz and Blues festival, all those years ago, and a review of a remastered record caused me to listen to this, which seems, sadly, still very relevant today, and is a great rock song too-
Former Uriah Heep keyboard player Ken Hensley has died at the age of 75.
Hensley wrote several of the London rock band's early tracks, including Easy Livin', Stealin', and Lady in Black - which he also sang on.
He died "peacefully" on Wednesday evening, following a short illness, his management confirmed.

Saw Uriah Heep at the Brighton Dome 1977 I think.
They were so loud I went deaf.
Great band and loved the Look at Yourself album.
Front cover had mirror effect so you could literally look at yourself.

sometimes you just need some Daryl Hall...
Daryl Hall with Finger Eleven - Don't no sunshine
Daryl Hall & Pat Monahan (Train) - papa was a rollin' stone
Daryl Hall & Diane Birch - Nothing but a miracle

And Angelina singing a Fulham anthem:
Dolly Parton, who donated a million dollars to the US Corona virus vaccine, that has just been tested with 95 percent success. With her great version of her own song, which became a huge hit for Whitney Houston, but Dolly's is by far the best imo . What a woman!
Best of Brede - great to hear Ralph Mctell again- British folk royalty, and here are two more legends, Bert Jansch and Ann Briggs
I saw Nico of Velvet Underground fame , live in Brixton in the early 80's. Here with Lou Reed and John Cale in Paris-
Thanks Ray for the Nico track forgot all about it and what a great song, if not video!
Here's another from Velvet....
https://youtu.be/mVrN-j_Uc0U
Thanks Best of Brede.
It was hard to find a vid of Nico live with the Velvet Underground, that was the only one!
There are a few, not bad quality, Youtube vids of her at the Preston warehouse with a young band, in the early 80s, when i saw her in a Brixton old cinema, not the Academy. She did a lot of Velvet Underground stuff, and was good, though not many there.
Great choices by you, classics, love Pale Blue Eyes.
Marianne Faithfull -great song, have thought of getting some of her stuff, she's still making records, despite many health problems.
I know it's not Friday yet and this doesn't was a quite follow the theme of unusual artists and tunes but I like it lots

Hi Ray, never saw Nico myself, which is a real shame, but did see Lou in the 70s doing the Rock n Roll Animal album with Mick Ronson. Best days ever!
Marianne Faithfull had some good stuff for sure.

Clapton & Collins - Bad love

Evening all.
I hope things get better for you all folk before much too long. It seems it is all getting a little out of hand again. There is always music and a tipple or two to get by with I suppose. 3 parts music to one part tipple though!
Just love Ruby's inflexion in this:
Something from a while ago:
And Angelina's verdict on Fulham in the top flight:
Great to see Clint Dempsey again - what a player he was for us. An inspirational character - should put that vid on the FFC website!
Great selection of music on here, as usual.
Mary Lou Lord - she was a busker on the subway, and only made a couple of records, but this is brilliant , a favourite album Live City Sounds-
Fleetwood mac, RIP Peter Green and Danny Kirwan-
Classic Small faces, Steve Marriott, what a voice, PP Arnold too
Evanescence - bring me to life (live)
Thanks to best of breed . And big thanks to you john for fupdating my music posts. I'm about to listen to as much as possible before the brentford-qpr kick off.
Hey still Friday? Then this cut down version of House on the Hill by The Pretty Reckless will send you to bed depressed.

Steve and Miss Arnold just doing their thing. Love Steve going mental while P.P. is standing around Zen like as though she is just waiting for a bus.
Hard to beat and has always been one of the best, raw music videos.
And while I'm here, Lee Majors belting out a tune for us.
Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again
Judee Sill - Jesus Was A Cross Maker
Brian Protheroe - Pinball
Thanks HW, glad you liked the vids, your comments about Stevie Marriot emoting while PP Arnold was just Bhudda like, doing her job, made me laugh.
I was a big fan of Blood, Sweat and Tears, and jazz/rock bands of the era generally, like BTS and Chicago, the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jon Hiseman's Colosseum.
Lee Majors on vocals here, and doing a great job too - wasn't the 6 Million Dollar man?
Great choices JC - three underrated, yet great, artists.
As was Jackie Leven, here with a tribute to Judee Sill. I actually met him at one of his concerts - a really nice, down to earth bloke, now sadly departed.
Just bought for the Roses MP3 by Joni Mitchell for a fiver at Amazon. Her earlier albums, including the classic Blue available for £3.45on mp3 . An Archive of her early work has just been released.
An Archive of unreleased Neil Young material also just released - hard to keep up with all his releases though-
Great track live White JC
Evanescence - bring me to life (live)
Have you seen Imperfection
feeling kinda laid back so...
Dave Brubeck - take five
Alain Clark & Diane Birch - too soon to end
Justin Johnson - can't find my way home
I'm sure you've all heard thi many times , but I just love it.
Great choice Bobbo- Gerry Rafferty was a great songwriter, performer -
Bob Dylan sold the publishing rights to all his work this week , for several million dollars. Van Morrison is touring next May, and tickets are available on Ticketmaster. Also, here The Band, Ringo, Joni Mitchell, etc
40 years this week since John Lennon's murder

Fans of Focus will know Jan Akkerman
Remember Jan and Focus well Barrett - I had that lp, and went to see Focus in Croydon - The Greyhound or Fairfield halls - pretty certain it was The greyhound actually.
Focus were a favourite band.

Nice one Hobgoblin, takes me back. reminds me of a woman, my first wife, actually. A does this - a Welsh schoolteacher called Heather, who lived in Lewisham turned me on to this band. They made one great lp-
Billy Bragg classic, about a different woman, and a great group-
The Four Tops
The Yardbirds
I have been watching and greatly enjoying, if that is the right word, Stteve McQueen's series of films Small Axe. In the second film called Lovers Rock seemingly not much happens it just follows the events of a house party where the music is reggae but many of the tracks are from the genre called Lovers Rock. Even for a less Caribbean audience, a nostalgixc feel permeates. I loved the programme.
I had heard most of the tunes before but there was one that was new to me, in the Lovers Rock style and it was this one, After Tonight by Junior English enjoy.
I know it's Wednesday, but...
The occasion was Mohammed Ali's 70th birthday
And another one for Bobbo
I know it's not Friday but, if my wife plays this loving song one more time tonight I'm going to end up a widow :010:
She flippen stops the song and restarts various sections so she can learn the words. I'm sorry if you have listened to the damn thing 100000000000000000000000000 times and you don't know this words it's never going to happen :031:

But not as bad what you folk are enduring.
And thanks for introducing me to Elkie. I have not heard her before. A mixture of Helen Reddy and Janis Joplin. Why she is not better known? Looked her up and very much liked this one straight off the top of the YT list:

Nice one bobbo - a very apt song for Fulham fans today, she has a lovely voice.
I remember you posted Arthur Alexander singing You'd Better Move On, who wrote it, and i posted an early Stones version, that I'd bought on an ep and loved.
This is a great, original version of the song You Gotta Move, which Stones recorded and was on the Sticky Fingers album, by Mississippi Fred Mcdowell-
I remembered that I'd seen the Stones do the song at Knebworth in 1976, and here it is. 10cc held the concert up for ages before they came on, and the Stones didn't come on til the early hours of the morning, but were great. I somehow managed to be right at the front, when they came on, which definitely adds greatly to enjoyment of a concert for me.
Great ray to be able to post a live gig you've actually been to.

Love the song, love fred's version but even though I too really like the stones I cannot say OI enjoyed that version but am envious that you were at the front to see them.
But I only recently heard the song for the first time and this is the version I know best. Hope you like an alternative arrangement.
I have been really enjoying this band for a while now.
Tommy Emmanuel, Muriel Anderson - Eleanor Rigby
The Beatles - Lady Madonna
Diane Birch - rewind
Great song but enjoy the dancing
Sudden urge couldn't wait till Friday so bring on th girls
Like Wilko Johnson as have all Dr Feelgood on vinyl. Another Man, Roxette etc.
Also that Bowie album is great! Sorrow the highlight.
Stones of course..
one of the best "new" songs I've heard in ages...
Foo Fighters - Waiting on a war
...and not so new...
Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day
XTC - senses working overtime
Written and sung by james Taylor thought to be about his break up with Carly Simon . She did get to keep their house on Martha's Vineyard
Joni Mitchell wrote a few songs about her relationship with James Taylor on her album For the Roses, apparently-
Always loved the cover of Dylan's Can You please Crawl out your Window on Wilko Johnson's Ice on the Motorway album - here with Roger Daltrey on vocal-
Another great, unusual, Dylan cover by Kylie Minogue, Nick Cave and Shane McGowan
Aw Joni Mitchell what a unique voice and talent . Good posts ray .

Yes, they were great films bobbo - glad you liked the post.
Reallly enjoyed your recent ones too.
Just after watching your James Taylor vid, I read an old review of a Carly Simon bio where she spoke of her 10 year marriage to James, which seems to have had its ups and downs, him with quite serious problems.
All the great singer /songwriters of this era , had relationships with each other and then wrote songs about it!
All great choices above - good to hear all these different types of music.

I love the sam Cooke song, it is iconic and wonderful
BUT
IMO
anything Otis does makes it even better
Hope you enjoy
Well lads this is not favouritism but I like the Sam Cooke version a bit better. But they are both very good.
I know it's Saturday now, but all this talk of Sam Cooke & Otis reminds me how good Marvin gaye was as well.
Biko - Playing for change
From the great western film High Noon, a must watch movie, Tex Ritter and the the theme song.
I really miss the Old Grey Whistle Test and whispering Bob

Who knows Where the time goes? Indeed. Thanks for reminding me of that one, Ray. We lost two of the greatest female vocalists far too young in Sandy Denny and Kirsty MacColl.
I give you Anne Briggs:

the fact that they wrote it for Farlowe doesn't make it the best version.
I'm sorry, but there's no comparison
seems to be a bit of blues vibe goind down tonight so Freddie King was a genius and much poverlooked
how about Dr John with my favourite bobby womack song... It's all over now
Stones string version better than Farlow but both good.
bill withers with his classic ain't no sunshine
and otis redding live with one of my two favourite music vides ever
it really doesn't get any better
Ok the the equal best clip ever, james brown on the tami show... this is the whole thing, my favourite clip is the first song 'out of site.' the rest is brilliant too but out of sight is the champions league winner of the music world
Absolute 80s on the radio.

Thinking of the Burnley theatrics with the album title - Arc of a Diver...
But most importantly to the players in within striking distance. . . While you see a chance, TAKE IT!
OK, it's not Friday night but I just came across this and thought it would be nice to share it among you aficionados.
I'm not terribly familiar with the original but it's very Spanish in style and the girl seems to have a Spanish name...

I love this. I fierst heard it on the Lean on Me album I think when that first came out. Bill Withers is one of the great underated stars. I was so sorry when he recently passed.
Another great track on that album was who is he and what is he to you. just saying.
fred wesly does a great cover version of use me. I will see if I can find it on line and post here.
I actually paid and got up to watch a live on line concert from Band- Maid from Japan a few weeks ago. This song proves that they are more than capable of doing soft ballads as well as the best rock songs. When Jimmy Page tells Arkane (the drummer) that she is one of the best drummers he has ever heard you know they have quality.
if I haven't suggested this before I'd be surprised however here's a "live" version of Foo Fighters - waiting on a war.
one of the best concerts I've attended, and Mr Clapton turning up was a surprise and very special.
Joe Bonamassa & Eric Clapton - Further on up the road

Lindisfarne - meet me on the corner
That's quite spooky John... i searched for, and played, this exact clip last night
Nirvana - School
Been having a bit of a Nirvana week. I was never a big fan, as I was a fan of The Pixies and felt that Nirvana came along and stole their thunder really... But this is a good time for the week with kids going back to school 😁.
It's more about the story of the band that I have been into this week...Courtney definitely is 'suspcious", as well as Allen Wrench , etc.
Amy winehouse this week . What a loss she was soo good and getting better . Poor girl such a talent , took the wrong turning.
That's a coincidence Bobbo - I'd been thinking of Amy myself. Since watching the doc Amy, directed by Asif Kapardia, I have been feeling angry and upset at the shocking way those around her, meant to be helping her, exploited her to make money for them, even when she was obviously unwell and needed treatment, and didn't want to perform.
The way the press and talk show comperes and comedians spoke about her troubles , to sell papers, and for a cheap laugh, was also disgusting, seen now, in hindsight.
Here in a great performance with Paul Weller -
The Waterboys
The Cowboy Junkies
With regards to Amy Winehouse's, it's almost 10 years since she passed away (23rd July 2011).
Very sad, probably the biggest talent this country produced this century music wise, I would say I definitely grew to appreciate her talent much more in the years that passed since.
The place she is buried is next to a big field full of horses, about a mile north of Edgware, and I remember her looking really happy riding horses on a beach in Jamaica I think...so like to think of her doing the same now.
Very sad, a great loss X
Well posted ray and steeeeeeed. Rayyouposted 3 Jems mate , and you thought you were running out of ammo , there's oceans of it out there past and present I look forward to trying it all out sometimes like today Ona Saturday morning.
Keep it up everyone. Yet again big thanks to John for the updates.
I know its not Friday but I just found this...

Thank you RaySmith and Steeeeeeeeeed, I will admit, I have to be the only person here who has never heard AW sing at all. I've heard of her, obviously, but never sat down and listened to her. I was pretty impressed with that vid of her with Paul Weller (not THAT's a singer I have heard a lot from back in the early Jam days - then again, his just a couple of months older than I).
What would be a good album to start me off with my AW education then?
Roxy Music - pyjamarama
Kirsty MacColl - there's a guy works down the chip shop
Lindisfarne - lady Eleanor
Today's just has to be:
https://open.spotify.com/track/6A9mKXlFRPMPem6ygQSt7z
For the older fans. One of the great song stylists of the 40s and 50s Billy Daniels and pianist Benny Payne.
What a great p-take: Kirsty McColl singing "There's a guy works down the chip shop" American country style!
Such a sad loss, along with Sandy Denny, taken far too young
Now, what different can I suggest today for your delectation?
Someone mentioned Kathleen Battle recently either above or in another thread. This is particularly fine:
I normally prefer a female voice but this is such a lovely song:
Inspired by the great choices above --
Sandy Denny
Buffy Sainte Marie
Shane McGowan/Pogues -there's a great doc on Shane now on BBC iplayer, Crock of Gold.
This song famously features in episode of The Wire, about a police funeral which you can see on YouTube .
Wonderful choices, Ray.
So sad to hear Sandy singing that beautiful song. Fairport were pre-Ric Sanders, obviously. I remember turning up at a funeral and Ric was there - what a session was had in the pub afterwards! We sat in the garden in the sunshine when a huge dark purple cloud came over and sat behind an old oak tree silhouetted against it and a few crashes of thunder. It was spooky. If there's such a thing as an afterlife, old Don was there -he wouldn't miss a good session.

I know people might go 'oh marvel superhero related, bore off' but I'd really recommend the Guardians of the galaxy 1 & 2 soundtrack. Has a fantastic range of what I'd call older stuff that I'd never imagined I'd of listened to without it. As a result, I've been listening to a lot of Electric Light Orchestra.

Well it's how I feel right now!
Oops seems I'm apologising again folks...
This time for being early, but I just had to post this before I lose the link...
It will make you smile, if not laugh (keep your eye on the drummer) - not a great piece but blooming entertaining! (IMO)
Is the drummer channelling the spirit of Keith Moon?
The Fulham players could do with some of what he's on this evening!
Great blues playing from Gary Moore.

wonderful stuff, I'd pay to see them, well the drummer at least
Kate and Anna McGarrigle saw them a couple of times, Kate the mother of Rufus Wainwright.
Loved the Mcgarrigles - beautiful music - Kate was married to Loudon Wainwright, who I've also always been a huge fan of, and Marha Wainwright is Rufus's sister.
I saw the whole family together in concert once at Glasgow Concert Hall for Celtic connections festival, and also saw the Mcgarrigles at the Cambridge Folk festival
I've seen Martha in concert solo too, in Manchester, and Loudon playing in Regents Open Air theatre, ripping my jeans climbing over the railings to get in free!
Thanks for posting Dodgin, great post.
Lovely, thank you Dodgin.

Great cover BoB, can't beat DP tho, lol
Totally agree LB, DP being one of my fav bands!
Just came across the Sambora version and thought it was good.
I don't watch any of the talent shows but this video was in my news feed the other day and I found it to be incredible. Showed it to my wife and daughter and they both ended up crying.
Another well established all female band from Japan
I was so pleased to find the wonderful song "Brother Warrior" on youtube. My ex and her friend used to sing it and this is the original (and, actually, second best) version. It's a great song with good words but try and imagine it with clearer vocals and resonating harmonies.
Beautiful Kate Wolf choice there Holders. Assuming thats Nina Gerber on the guitar solo. Sad Kate departed so young

Yes indeed. It's a fairly elusive (and under-rated) song to find and I was pleased to do so. There's nothing like hearing it live with all the harmonies but it's still good to have as it's a song with great class and meaning.
just in time for the game this evening...

OK, it's Wednesday but I was out and about on beautiful Somerset hills today, wild thyme everywhere, and I was reminded of this beautiful song that I hadn't heard in years. This is a good version:

Jut been reading a great book, Erebus, by Michael Palin, about one of the two ships in the doomed expedition i 1875, to find the North West Passage, when all disappeared without trace.
I recommend this book, it's a compelling read.
Here's Pentangle's, featuring Burt Jansch, version of the famous folk song, Lord Franklin, about this expedition.
Just listened to one of the BBC R4 programmes marking Bob Dylan's 80th birthday, in which Martin Carthy tells of Dylan walking into a London pub in the early 60's, when Carthy played Lord Franklin, and then Dylan 'borrowed' the tune for one of his own songs -Bob Dylan's Dream.
Here, a rare live version of Dylan performing this.
A bloke who I met on the train trip back from our famous Cup win at Carlisle in '75, on our road to the Final, happened to stand next to me in the Enclosure soon after, and he sold/gave me a spare ticket to see Black Sabbath at Hammersmith Odeon, who i'd hardly even heard of, but it was an unforgettable experience.. Great band.
So that's another song that Martin Carthy had nicked by someone more famous in most circles.
after yesterdays game, time for this again...

Trying to think of songs about football, and a line from the Kinks Autumn Alamac came into my head - ''I go to football on a Saturday'. The song isn't much about football, but does evoke England, think, like all the Kinks songs

Thanks JC for all your work in keeping this great thread going, along with everything else you do for FoF.
I was just perusing, without any ideas myself, when i watched Hobgoblin's vid of Nirvana's great cover of a Leadbelly song. I was huge fan of Leadbelly back in the 60's, and was going to comment, and then I thought to post some selections myself if I'm going to comment, and apart from the man himself, i was thinking of the many covers of his songs.
Leadbelly, In the Pines

Here is a rare one from the biggest influence on the buying of guitars back in the Fifties
One of my favourite bands growing up were Wishbone Ash. They've gone through lots of line-ups with just the one original member still playing, the incomparable Andy Powell. "Phoenix" is 15 minutes or so of absolute pleasure. If you get a chance to catch them while Andy Powell is still standing (he's 71), do so. This is from 2018.
The Motels, on OGWT
Albert Hammond
Here's a strange one (not the song, cos it's very catchy). There was a band in the 70s called Blue, not to be confused with the later boy-band. They had a hit with 'Capture Your Heart' and then they released this one, called 'Women'. It wasn't really a hit, but was far superior imho. Anyway, see what you think? It was co-produced by the guest piano player, a guy called Elton John.
White Lies, "Bigger than Us" live at Glastonbury 10 years ago (nephew Tom on keyboards, unfortunately a BHA fan)

OK, I have a question for all the music experts out there, seems we have quite a few in this thread.
I recently bought an Apple HomePod, and it's great. With the monthly subscription charge of $10 per month paid to Apple, I can get any music I want, any time, even some very obscure artists and music, at home or even in my car with Apple CarPlay. It's great!
Now, THE QUESTION.......HOW DO THE ARTISTS GET PAID/COMPENSATED???
I've asked a number of people about this and no one seems to know how that gets done. This question would pertain to all the platforms out there besides Apple Music, such as Spotify, Amazon Music et al.
ANYONE KNOW?

its my understanding that each time you play a song the artist(s)/songwriter(s) and record label get paid a sum of money, typically a very small amount similar to PRS (performing rights) with the idea the more one of your songs gets played the more you (as an artist) get paid.
you'll hear most artists say that they get next to nothing and that a million plays = pennies compared to "record sales".

I went ahead and googled it, and apparently platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, et al pay the artist/producer/someone one or two cents per song play. Doesn't sound like a lot of money, but when you consider the millions upon millions of subscribers to various services worldwide, this probably adds up to a bunch of money. To me, it sounds like an accounting/logistics nightmare. And the artists are really at the mercy of the platforms to properly report. Unless there is a way to track playtime and who is gonna do that and how is that even done. I guess it's up to the producer of an album/song to then further split the take to include the artist. And what then happens to artists that are deceased? I suppose their share goes to their estate? Anyway, just seems like an incredible undertaking to satisfy the artists involved.

Different tack.
Here's a rock ballad that should please most people. Featuring Ronnie James Dio on vocals, Cozy Powell on drums and the brilliant Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.

Joy Division's Ian Curtis, scene from film Control, with Ian played by Sam Riley - great performance and film, segueing into the real Ian Curtis and Joy Division. I thought the film scene illuminated the song well, and the tensions in Ian's life, that led to his untimely suicide, just as the band was about to tour the States, and break into the bigtime -

Just reading Sex Pistol lead guitarist, Steve jones bio, Lonely Boy. Well, I'd seen a TV film about it ages ago, and though it seemed interesting, , then when i saw for it recently as a 99p Daily Deal on Amazon Kindle i bought it. A good read, honest, and shocking at times.
Hard to believe how controversial the Sex Pistols were in their day -
If you're interested, you can actually see the notorious interview with Bill Grundy, which went out live on early evening TV, and ended Grundy's career, but helped the Pistols take off.
I saw it live myself, sitting with my family, and thought it pretty funny. But at work the next day, the mostly young blokes, into rock, like Tony in his early twenties, with blonde hair past his shoulders, like his heroes the Allman brothers, though it was disgusting behaviour, and that was the general consensus in the media, with lurid headlines, that only went to promote the bands career.

Yes, it's really sad.
As a kid, Genesis were my favourite band and I first met Phil at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in the early 70s. Later he moved to near Godalming and I used to see him about the town and in Waitrose.
I think he was a better drummer than he was vocalist and I lost interest/grew out of Genesis when Peter Gabriel went solo.
Phil seemed a decent bloke though and there are nice local stories about him.
Ah, Ray, Curved Air - now you're talking!

Reading about Leonard Cohen and what a decent bloke he was. A photographer told of how, on the day of a concert at Hammersmith odeon, Len took him along to a reunion he had with his old landlady, when he was penniless, and spent the afternoon chatting away to her, then helped with the washing up.
When he got back to his hotel, he was runnning late, but despite the urgings of t everyone around him, when a young fan met him in the hotel foyer with an armful of records to be signed, he sat down on the floor and signed them all. He was half an hour late for the concert.
LC also used to take his band and give impromptu free concerts at psychiatric hospitals.

Thought I'd post this before i forget - I know there are a few Lindisfarne fans on here - great doc on Alan Hull of Lindisfarne fame on BBC iPlayer, a songwriter I've always loved, buying his solo albums like the brilliant Pipe Dream, and Lindisfarne is the band i think I've seen the most times.
Introduced by fellow Geordie, Sam Fender, one of the few contemporary rock/pop artists I'm interested in.
My birth mother, whom I've never met, came from Newcastle, though I was born in Brixton - so is there some link there? Well, it's great music anyway.

Eddie Vedder from soundtrack to Into the Wild - just seen this great film after reading the book - the true story of Christopher McCandless, who went to live in the wilds of Alaska, but the film is really about family and friendship, and how much we need them. Seems appropriate for this time of year.
It's such a powerfully moving, human, film anyway.
My daughter's getting wed in Match (all being well!) and she asked for a couple of suggestions for records to be played during the band's interval.
As an old fart, it wasn't easy to come up with suggestions of fairly modern pop songs that most people would know. These were mine - rather nice, I thought, when I listened to them again - and danceable:
Don't normally like carols but that's a good one WhiteJC. Reminds me of The Wicker Man!

It was Holocaust Memorial Day a couple of days ago. Leonard Cohen was inspired to write this sing by the concentration camp musicians forced to play as the new arrivals were herded into the gas chambers, but the song can be interpreted in a number of ways if you didn't know the origin, and not necessarily a bleak song, maybe redemptive-

Stormy weather is Lena Horne is my immediate thought almost her signature tune
I used to see Mick Hawksworth, the bass player in the Alvin lee clip, every Sunday at the Half Moon in Herne Hill, in a band led by Stevie Smith - he lived nearby, and I went out with a woman who lived in his house,
He was with Ten Years Later at that time, late 70's, early 80's,and I was surprised to find footage of him playing with Stevie at the Half Moon some years later, though not sure when this was filmed.
He's gone now RIP.

Truly amazing!
Apart from the sheer skill, it takes an outstanding musical ear and talent to transcribe something like that for an instrument so different.
I thought I could hear shades of Vivaldi coming through in the Beethoven but here she is with that as well:
Very good attempt by the young lady, but not smooth.
It was definitely for violin but great attempt as said.
Quote from: BestOfBrede on February 26, 2022, 09:34:51 PM

I agree the Beethoven was better than the Vivaldi but different instruments impart different effects and there's no smoother instrument than the fiddle. Just to transpose it and interpret it like that is amazing. Reminds me of Martin Hayes' superb Pachebel on Irish fiddle which I linked many pages back. It's interesting to hear music on the "wrong" instruments - and often much harder to play.
Thanks Holders.It was just my attempt to show there are so many types of music. Classical is the root of a lot of todays "pop " music.You might be surprised to learn how many rock musicians of the 60s70sand 80s had classical training.

You can certainly hear that from the best of them as opposed to those just created and packaged for marketability. The best musicians can turn their hands to most genres.
I'd be interested in any similar examples that you have.
Thanks Holders Think i put up 2 cellos a while ago but here is their version of thunderstruck. Two brilliant cellists having fun. I will be away for a couple of weeks but will try and find some more when i get back. Bet you cant wait. :005:
Thanks, Mr Earle.
Never heard of Thunderstruck but loved it - and can't wait!
Best I could think of was the Bad Shepherds - punk tunes played on folk instruments. The pipe player (Maartin Alcock) is seriously mean in his own right.
A day early, I know, but I have to drive upcountry tomorrow as my daughter, Laura (a Fulham fan since babyhood) is getting wed on Saturday.
So here's a happy tune from the Chieftains, the best band that I never saw:
Thanks, Whitejc, much appreciated.
Post modern jukebox, All about the base.
Holders post is from one of my favourite records - Irish Heartbeat by Van and the Chieftains.
Love this version of Carrickfergus from that record - The Chieftains and Van's voice go together so well, and really evoke the powerful emotion of this great song-
Gonna need some help here. I just started listening to Greta Van Fleet and think they are outstanding! I'm big Zep fan, and this band, and lead singer, are spot on in channeling Led Zeppelin.
If there are any music videos of them, please post. I don't know how to do that. Thanks in advance.

RIP Mark Lannegan
Save the planet! Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt with a Neil Young classic -
Ray, I'd forgotten how much I liked Coloseum, thanks for the reminder.
And while I'm thanking people thanks to WindyCity for bringing Greta Van Fleet to my attention, a "new" Led Zeppelin...
You're welcome whitejc! And thanks again for all the GVF vids you've posted! Preesh!
Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - Romeo And Juliet
Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood - Can't find my way home
James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind (One Man Band, July 2007)
I'm not Led Zeppelins biggest fan however this is magical...
Whilst I like"some" of todays stuff I just find what I listened to early sixties my fallback on here so :-
Great blasts from the past Bobbo, though haven't heard any of them before, though have heard the Coasters and Chubby Checker and the Twist, obviously. Del Shannon was someone I really liked at that time, and his were the first records I remember buying -
Someone mentioned Phil Ochs's great song There But For Fortune on the Abromovich thread, and here he is singing it -
Big 60's hit, great Dylan cover from Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll -
Thanks ray . That Julie Driscoll track is one I'd forgotten . Got to put earphones in I'm staying with my daughter and whilst she's not young she doesn't like my type of music.
These seem to fit yesterdays riverside announment

James Taylor - sweet baby James
Steely Dan - dirty work (live)
Rod Stewart & the Faces - stay with me
Here's something from a long time ago which demonstrates what a good musician this comedian/actor was. The melody (with a slight word change) might be something the Ukrainian people would like to take up.
It was St. Patrick's Day last Thursday, and I was listening to Colin Murray's Mixtape Jukebox on 5Live that night, where listeners vote for songs on a theme - this time with Irish place names.
But only one record -Thin Lizzie, here, and one song - Broad Majestic Shannon, but the Pogues version - was on the listeners selection.
But, I've chosen this song by the Cranberries, because i like them and the song, and because it is so relevant to what's going on today.
Shane McGowan wrote The Broad Majestic Shannon for the Clancy brothers, now all departed, but they never recorded it, but here Liam Clancy RIP sings it, and turns it partly into a moving tribute to Shane - who is still alive btw.
This was top of side two of Colin Murray's listener mix tape- Whisky in the Jar, Thin Lizzie
Mozart Hero's - nothing else matters
Grand Funk Railroad - I'm your captain
This pair made 7 big box office films together in the 30s/40s plus a not so secret love affair. Favourites of mine influenced by my Dad. Don't make them like this anymore.
Todd Rundgren & Utopia - seven rays
James Taylor - frozen man
Sting - Russians
Dignity, Bob Dylan-

Making up for missing las week
One of the UKs underrated singers of the 50s Betty Miller with Sid Phillips Band.
This was just emailed to me from James Taylor's website , just had to post it.
Good sound and she has a great voice dodge sort of sound my wife would have liked .
Well, it may be Sunday today but on Friday evening (there's the relevance) went to see Mark Barnwell in Taunton and was blown away. It was a new venue for me, intimate and welcoming and with a choice of 5 ciders (one was Thatcher's but I'll stretch a point there). Wonderful music too. Checked out the half time score at Derby and didn't know the result till the end so concert not spoiled.
Mark plays Spanish guitar - so flamenco, some classical and also his takes on mainstream pop and it's one of those that I chose to post here as it'll have more general appeal. I was amazed how he could take a fairly mundane pop tune and improve it so much. This is one but there were others:
Great version Holders.
Quote from: Dodgin on April 17, 2022, 08:38:40 AM
Great version Holders.
Thanks Dodgin.
Here's another - on his previous appearance at the venue:
Excellent find Holders. Must have been a great concert .
Yeah, loved it. My partner found it and was a bit unsure whether to mention it to me as she knows that I'm not a great lover of mainstream guitar music but when she said that he played flamenco and baroque I was all for it.
Just walking in to the small venue in Taunton put me in a good mood (plus free parking after 6pm and a bar selling proper cider) but the music was wonderful. It was the best concert I've been to for years (not that there's been many in the last couple!). As I said above, his enhancements of a few routine pop tunes were outstanding but apart from Hotel California I can't remember the others. It takes a very good musician to play around the tune and still keep its essence. Martin Hayes can do it - and my mate Dave Young.
missed doing this Friday, life gets in the way sometimes...
Pat Metheny - and I love her
James Taylor & Carly Simon - you can close your eyes

Well , it's nearly Friday so :-
This from the film THE PARENT TRAP Lindsey lohan one
Love Ray Charles, bobbo, that's a great version of that song, haven't seen that film - I remember the Hayley Mills film!
Cliff Bennet and the Rebel Rousers - some great bands all those years ago. I remember them, and their big hits, One Way Love and Got to Get You Into My Life. Cliff had a great soul voice, and Chas and Dave were in the band apparently.
Like the Paul Carrack - nice song and an interesting vid.
I went to see cliff bennett live last week ray , he's 82 next month but whilst he only did an hour and half he was still belting it out . Yeah I saw the Hayley mills one also . The Lindsey lohan one is worth a watch even just for the song 😂.
And I saw Paul carrack live at Aylesbury 2 years ago he's so good. Go see him if he's up your way. COYW last one Monday at home but I'm going to Sheffield next week also.
Amazing that Cliff's still going, and Paul Carrack - great stuff.
Hope you can cheer the lads on to a couple of wins, bobbo.
Bruce Springsteen - radio nowhere
The Temptations - papa was a rolling stone
Harry Chapin - cats in the cradle

Lynerd Skynyrd, Freebird
Kevin Coyne, actually met this great English singer/ songwriter at a gig at the Rock Garden, Covent garden, where he was playing - he was sitting at the bar with a pint, chatting to punters before he went on stage - a great English songwriter and performer, and great bloke.

Wheel of Fortune big hit in the 50s by Kay Starr.
Bruce hornsby
Georgie fame . Saw him many times in the sixties but never at the flamingo where he became resident , saw him at " the scene " off gt windmill street,and locally blue moon club Hayes. It's a great vid glad I lived through this era.
Chris Farlowe —- Such a great singer backin the day .
One of my favourite haunts Bobbo, first date with my late first wife was the Flamingo. She liked Jazz and lived in Fulham.
Great post dodge , "Kay Starr " what a unique voice .
I gotta find another one by her , stand by .
That's so weird dodge I met my late wife two doors away 1962 in " the discotech it was all records played there no live bands
It was swamped with Purple Hearts in the day and a fair bit of bluebeat music. No alcohol available we used walk to a milk machine up by isows garage around 2:30 am .
Another Kay starr number , later covered by Clarence frogman Henry
Only vaguely remember Kay Starr, bobbo - very good, she reminds me of Ann Shelton.
Liked your previous vid of Jo Jo Gunn - remember them.
RIP Alan White.
RIP Bobby Neuwirth, well known here as a long term associate and friend of Bob Dylan, but was a singer/songwriter in his own write.

RIP Alan White. Used to have Yes's Close to the Edge on vinyl - really liked it, he was a great drummer-
Bill Bruford was the drummer on close to the edge, Alan White joined for Tales from Topographic Oceans which was their next album
Sorry., memory not so good.
But he's in this vid, isn't he?

George Harrison
Chris Squire (Yes bass player)
Paul Kossoff (Back Street Crawler)
Rick Wakeman
Steve Howe (Yes guitarist)
Donovan
and I'm sure others that I can't remember
Maybe Fulham should adopt Close to the Edge. After all "close to the edge down by the river"

that's a really good idea :54:
this version has Bill Bruford drums, Steve Howe guitar, Rick Wakeman keyboards, Jon Anderson vocals, Jeff Berlin bass
Bobbo....
Thanks for putting up Sunny by the great Georgie Fame,one of my fav....He's played the piano and organ and sung on a couple of Van Morrison albums over time.

I've just checked the lyrics and they're even more relevant than I thought
Down at the edge, close by a river
Close to the edge, round by the corner (cottage)
Close to the end, down by the corner
Down at the edge, round by the river;
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
I get up,
I get down,
I get up,
I get down
Close to the edge, down by the river
Down at the end, round by the corner
Seasons will pass you by,
Now that it's all over and done,
Called to the seed, right to the sun
Now that you find, now that you're whole
Seasons will pass you by,
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up
Might as well put the original of You Always Hurt The One You Love. 1944 with th e Brothers, which included the Dad. Big time in there dsy.
Sitting In The Park....One of Georgie Fames best.
To Ray Smith.....re: Stones Far Away Eyes with Doug Kershaw.
Thanks for posting! Where did you dig that vid up? Haha. How did Kershaw even end up on stage with the Stones? The vid identified him as the Ragin' Cajun. He was also known as the Louisiana Man. Saw him live about 35-40 years ago in a small club in the Big Windy. Absolutely terrific show! He was a bit subdued in this song with the Stones. He was a wild man on stage. Great, fun, foot stomping music.
There are no doubt some Zeppelin/Robert Plant fans in the forum. His two albums with Alison Krause are really good. They're titled "Raising Sand" and "Raise the Roof". I don't know how to post vids, but anything from either album would be worth a listen......
so I'm sitting here in sunny Cornwall, at least it has been today!, and after a day walking the dog on the beach it's time for some extra special tunes...
The Who - behind blue eyes
Playing for Change - when the levee breaks
Joe Bonamassa - sloe gin
Thanks to whitejc for posting that John Paul Jones vid.....very very cool!
Also, many thanks to you whitejc for your daily Fulham Stuff postings! Been following closely during this off season. Thx!

My pleasure mince , I hope you like James Taylor
Not much better than ray charles so many artist have claimed he was their biggest influence , and I was lucky enough to see him live three times. , what a privilege .
Following my normal choices this wouldn't seem to be my kind of number , but my son used play it so much when he was at home it grew on me and it's really quite a clever set of lyrics.
https://youtu.be/0RevNAjhBh0
Well posted dodge , another trip down memory lane - orson wells , Trevor Howard etc . Can't remember all the film was sooo young .
Just couldn't resist another one from James Taylor . He wrote this in memory of his long time close buddy John belushi , who lived not far from him on Martha's Vineyard.

excellent lighthouse
Alessi Brothers - oh Lori
Sharif - dangerous destination
Diane Birch/Daryl Hall - nothing but a miracle
Alessi Brothers reminded of that different style of voice, this reminded me of a number one in it's day. though rubbish rumour had it that Slim Whitman used rubber strings.
Wow, love Diane Birch

Great shouts above - thanks lads, and thanks JC, for uploading all these, and the Eric Bogle vid on the July 1916 thread, here's another great Eric Bogle song -
It was the Pogues version, which I saw them perform live, which really got me into this song, and led me to discover the work of the great Eric Bogle-
Bad Company - bad company
Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green) - oh well
Linkin Park - in the end
Nice one Bobbo, Here's Sara Dowling voted UKs top Jazz singer but not that well known.

Bobbo should be a great gig, Jo Harrop has charted in the USA as well plus appearing locally in Warlingham in a few weeks.
Who would think an old Cliff number, turns out to be so topical today.
Just seen the new Elvis film - thought it was really good. This live vid was at the end of the film-
RIP Barbara Thompson
Guy Clarke
Ray Smith mentions Eric Bogle above and his song The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.
Well, here's two offerings. The first one another Eric Bogle song on a similar theme, The Green Fields of France, which I find even more poignant than Matilda. This version is by Davey Arthur and The Fureys which I had the pleasure of hearing live:
And here's the original song from which Waltzing Matilda was derived:

Never was a fan of Cliff but this always had a Steely Dan feel to it.
It's truly awful and the video so corny but it's certainly apt at the present time. Pity it was by Cliff and not Dilyn.
Harry Nilsson—- a very early on
Ray Charles
Eadie gorme
Frankie Lymon, star at 14, didn't end wellthough.
great post dodge . the video is superb , oh how i would have loved to have gone to the states in the fifties . i got a smattering of it growing up in ruislip near the american base . girls in bobby socks etc . my first visit was 1970 but ive been more times than i can recall now.
Great band. This is a song about break up between her, Adrianne and the male guitarist Buck Meek. She gets overwhelmed and forgets the words...they stick with her and vamp and help her and then she gets back into it...the guitar solo f4cking rips. Love them, Happy Friday!
The title of this thread is Friday evening music but whatever day, whatever time, this from the Buena Vista Social Club is a true great for me.
I saw BVSC for the first time around 2001 at the Festival Hall and was taken aback at the wonderful sounds produced by a bunch of Cuban geriatrics, including the 92 year old Compay Segundo who shuffled on stage and proceeded to wow the audience with his guitar playing and marvellous rum and cigar infused voice.
Average White Band - pick up the pieces
Slide - coz I luv you
American Outlaws - highwayman
Straight from Park Slope Brooklyn. It's a cover but they're pretty good.
Just a trip back to my early teens :-
Nick Lowe - I love the sound of breaking glass
Dave Edmonds - I knew the bride
Be Bop Deluxe - ships in the night
Nat's Stardust the ultimate vocal version Bobbo, here's the best of the UKs rockers playing it cool with his daughter on a Everly Brothers,So Sad.
Thought we could have three very different music episodes today. First somebody who says he doesn't like Football
Second a theme tune from a loved tv series from many of our childhoods. The actor sadly died this week
Thirdly a Korean Pop dance song. Look it's nothing if not varied.

Couple of lesser known lady jazz valley's but so good.
This week from me :- A double helping on one clip of Joni Mitchell
The first number she wrote and presented to David Crosby to break their relationship.
Vocalist for valley
We all got our own tastes but just for me I don't get better than these two singing.
It's a bit long but if you can stick with it , it's worthwhile I hope.
Three rock songs from a few years back. Finishing with Band Maid filmed on a fans phone playing an instrumental while their singer takes a loo break. Hence the titles to many of their instrumentals. This one 'Don't be long'.
Just discovered American bandleader Ray Anthony is 100 years old
Steely Dan
James taylor + his entourage
Three varied songs again. First in tribute to Olivia Newton John . Her constant optimism comes through in this early song from 1976
Citizen Soldier has so many deep full of angst songs. But beautiful.
Last the best band in the World. Band Maid release a song that has so many Easter Eggs included. But I think it is fair to say it is about fighting Pandemics and finding hope on the other side
She's gone but the beauty of her voice is still here. Judith Durham.

Just listened to that Heart cover of Stairway at the Kennedy Center. Terrific! Seemed the boys enjoyed it too, very much.......
Just saw Lighthouse post in the "NFR well done to A level graduates" thread Pink FLyod, Another Brick in the Wall. Funny enough I was just talking with my son about the Dark Side of the Moon album last night. Told him how you could watch both the movie and documentary on Amazon Prime. He says he's planning on watching them later tonight. Now I'm thinking I might just have to rewatch them myself :003:

I really like 'If there is something' - superb track and used in the film Flashbacks of a fool.
Also did an album with Robert Fripp - great stuff.

Mannasas....Superb.
One of my alltime favourite albums.
I'd forgotten how much I liked Alanis Morissette...
you learn
thank u
you oughta know
...and as a special treat Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters drummer) can be seen in a couple of the videos as he was Alanis' drummer
John great posting of the wild child . She looks very different now but still got the devil in her . I'm a great admirer.
No connection with lighthouse s posting of the same description ( I never notice when I posted )
Applies to the more elderlymembers.
The first three records I bought if my memory serves me
But I did have cindy oh cindy by Eddie fisher before that from my cousin.
Elvis was great Bobbo - Recently saw the new Elvis film, thought it was great, though didn't have high expectations after some negative reviews.
My first 3 records bought would be something like- A Scottish Soldier- Andy Stewart, Rock Island Line- Lonnie Donnegan, and Needles and Pins - The Searchers.
But after listening to the great Iris Dement, then finding footage of Ralph Mctell at Glastonbury this year, I was thinking of songs about towns.
So -
Iris DeMent -
Ralph Mctell
The Specials -
Great sound ray , iris dement , I never heard of her but it's making me feel 18 again . Gonna look for more of her now.
And ray I know you're not local and I don't want to make you envious but I'm heading for the streets of London on Monday with my granddaughter and family to brick lane for salt beef baigels with plenty of colmans on .
Green Day - American idiot
Playing for Change - I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Boney James - another day in paradise
The drifters
Bobby parker
Chuck berry
Lay Down Your Arms. Number one back in 1956
My humble recommendations, one tune featuring an incredible female voice and followed by an equally impressive male voice.
1. Flora Purim, who released this song 'This is Me' earlier this year. Flora is only aged 80 years and produced by her husband Airto Moreira who is aged 82. I think their music demonstrates that age is only a number. Aparrently her voice ranges over 6 octaves even now!!!
2. And in contrast the voice of Jose James singing Truth, written and produce by Goldie. Goldie is normally not someone I would listen to but this song and arrangement is beautiful:
Enjoy
Keep Right On To The End Of The Road. As Her Majesty Did.
Maybe one of the best crafted songs written about a woman;

Jackson Browne
Sorry to put in 4, JC, thanks in advance.
Nice roger have you been hiding her ?
Plus really good stuff from you ray .
Ha, saw a Monkees post. Say what you will about that group, but (IMHO) they put out some great pop diddies.......
Not usually a trad fan , but stumbled on thi on you tube and thought the girl sounded good ( Erika lewis )
Good offerings from Ray, as usual.
Here's The Girl from the Hiring Fair - Ralph McTell. In my view far and away his best.
Pity so many of the tapes weren't kept.
Bad Company - shooting star
Eric Clapton - pilgrim
Jackson Browne - minutes to downtown
Dodging introduced us to Sara Dowling back in July, she really is something special...
Sara Dowling - this time the dreams on me
Paul Rogers & Joe Bonamassa - fire and water
Rosie Flores country singer with longevity. Two clips early and later days. Plays a good lead too.
Another gem dodge . You keep coming up with them. Not posted been really busy all week.
Kate Rusby, great voice-
The great Tom Paxton, whom I've seen live c 1970, with Liam Clancy - who influenced a young Bob Dylan in New York folk clubs-
Smiley Culture - he went to th same school as I did - Tulse Hill Comp, near Brixton, over 2,000 boys.
I know Doris days version is good but I really like this one by cliff Bennett
Bit of Amy , silly girl , robbed us all from some great music through her poor willpower . RIP miss.
Audioslave - shadow of the sun
Foreigner - waiting for a girl like you
Robyn Adele Anderson - ace of spades
Songs about hotels - let's hope we send the Geordies back to theirs with a defeat.
Elvis - the recent film about him was brilliant, imo.
Leonard Cohen - new film about his song Hallelujah, also very good, imo. Here about his relationship with Janis Joplin -
Loudon Wainwright, just released a new record, and touring at 76-
The Doors
Joe Bonnamassa - sloe gin
Paul Rogers & Joe Bonamassa - walk in my shadow
Robert Cray - right next door

Zac Brown & Jimmy Buffet - a pirate looks at forty
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
Rainbow - all night long
Bad Company - ready for love

Off to see Bob Dylan at Cardiff next week - the only place I could get a decent ticket without paying well over the odds through some sell- on site. Here with George Harrison and Leon Russell at the Concert for Bangla Desh, plus great Dylan covers from Nina Simone and Neil Young.
Joe Bonamassa - going down
Annie ross I was lucky enough to see her in 1963 at Ronnie Scott's when it was in gerrard street soho
Heard Captain Beefheart on 5 Live yesterday, on the programme that has replaced Kermode and Mayo's Film Review, with a couple of 'comedians' talking rubbish -someone emailed in and said you should just play Captain Beefheart records instead of talking, and I agree -
Ry Cooder
Dolores O'Riordan
My favourite waltz tune (Michael Turner's waltz). I always thought that it was trad as it's a regular session tune but apparently it's by Mozart!

Don Henley - the end of the innocence
Bruce Hornsby & the Range - mandolin rain

The Pretty Reckless have done a fine version of this. This is one of my favourite Bowie songs. Here is the original.

Just listened to above "Everywhere". Great song. RIP Christine.
I've seen a number of Mac vids over the years and I always get a kick out of watching Mick Fleetwood on the drums. Really into the music, all kinds of facial expressions and grimaces. A real hoot.
Again, sorry to hear of the McVie passing. She was a great and integral part of that band.
Something different Spike Jones ensemble and some impressions from the Fifties.

I've loved this song made in 1971 for sooo many years after buying a great album called Rebel Music in the 80s. Found out Little Roy is actually little, still singing and living in London. An absolute classic.
Also been loving this one tonight. Very rare, only stumbled across it relatively recently. Shame I never found a copy in the olden days, it's $4,000 for a single on discogs now.
I've slipped up tonight , forgot and fell asleep . But I really like everything posted tonight but because of the news this morning David Crosby takes the biscuit by ray . 👍👍❤️

A pianist and a singer in concert, she was voted best newcomer at recent Grammy awards. If you like Ella, Sarah or Carmen McRae, some say she is a reincarnation of all three. She is sold out at the Jazz Cafe March 7th. Samara Joy and Emmet Cohen a swinging jazz pianist.
Interesting video, on last page, of Apocalypse Now (great movie!) with Stones 'Gimme Shelter'. Although I don't think that song featured in the original soundtrack/movie?

I always reckon she's one of a small handful of artists that couldn't hit a bad note if they tried . As for the illness , of course I don't know but when someone has an addiction or what she had I know from experience ( not me ) but someone close there's only one person who controls it . And that's them themselves.
Gonna try find some pleasant music now.
Karen had perfect pitch.
Rebecca and Meghan Lovell the excellent Larkin Poe wrote this song in tribute/memory of two of their grandparents who suffered from mental health and dementia.
Powerful lyrics which will resonate with those of us who are now or have had in the past the experience of dealing with family and friends going through the challenges of mental health in all its forms.
Neil young
James Taylor with Taylor swift
Chuck berry

Great choices bobbo - the Neil Young made me think of another song he wrote around this time, on the same theme, Tonight's the Night - about the drug overdose death of roadie, Bruce Berry -
On a similar, anti -drug theme Jackson Browne and Steve Earle-
And, this rarity live from the Stones, also powerfully performed by Marianne Faithful, who claims she wrote it -
Thanks ray , like you I love my music and for me james Taylor is just the best .hence I've travelled the states many times just to see him perform.

I know you showed me how to do it, but I must be thick, I can't do it.
Love that song e4b I actually bought the Steve Earle cd, Train a'comin', and I think it was only on cd, mainly because that was on it, though not with Emmylou, sadly - couldn't find a version with them doing it together, which is really magical, though it's a great record anyway.
I'm a massive fans of Steve and have a few of his records, and his great book of short stories 'Doghouse Roses' which I love - the stories are just like one of his songs.
You maybe know this, but Doghouse Roses are what you buy for your partner when you've done something wrong - and are in the doghouse! We've all been there! He's written a great novel too.
Just came across two Scatman John songs. Pretty nostalgic to me. Anybody who knows his background story would appreciate his songs even more:
Sandy Denny and Fotheringay, Dylan cover
Emmylou Harris, Ricky Nelson, Steve Earle in a tribute to Townes Van Zandt, who also features on film

Great footage of a brilliant artist and performance, bobbo - wouldn't think there's many would dislike it.
To see the originals of these oft covered songs is wonderful, and it sounds and looks so contemporary too.
I remember when TB was a thing - us all being vaccinated against it, and stories of family members dying from it.
What a resource YouTube is, to find all this incredible stuff, for free.
Cheers ray , yeah YouTube is unbelievable almost nothing you can't find from how to do the brakes on my Vespa to an old tune like that , that's poignant for it's time.

the nightfly was originally released in 1982 (might have been 81?) and was constantly on my turntable ever since, it was the first CD that I bought and still my "go to" album
this live version was recorded in 2019 with the Steely Dan band, I wish I could have gone to one of the concerts

José Feliciano - light my fire
Kanasa dust in the wind
A cello cover of music from the best band you have never heard of unless you have.
Quite a sad reason this song but I've had one to equal it .
I think many find that Clapton song, written after the death of his young child, after falling from a hotel window, meaningful or consoling, for personal reasons - related to tragedies in their own lives, Bobbo.
Great to hear America still going strong, only 8 years ago. I always liked their records.
Top choices, Bobbo.
Eric Clapton, featuring Ringo and Paul McCartney and George Harrison's son, in this tribute to George, with his own composition, While My Guitar Gently weeps - I believe Clapton played on the original Beatles White Album recording -
RIP David Lindley, here with long term associate, Jackson Browne - Farewell you dancer.
Christie Moore, Viva La Quinta Brigada, dedicated to the International Brigade, who volunteered from Britain, Ireland, and all over, to fight the Nazis in Spain-
So polished that Clapton / McCartney one . They continue to perform so perfectly 👍. Loved it ray .
Southern Comfort - take a message
quite possibly the worst album cover ever? nice song thoughAndwellas Dream - shades of grey
Paul Davis - cool night
the Moody Blues - I'm just a singer (in a rock and roll band)

the Moody Blues - I know you're out there somewhere
Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun - ballad of the chrome nun
So silky, massively under-rated IMO
Loved this song ever since I heard it play in the movie "Der Goldene Handschuh" (the golden glove), which is about the Hamburg serial killer Fritz Honka. Disturbing movie, but the lead actor plays incredibly well. Genuinely think he deserves an oscar for it...
Currently sitting in my garden listening to Simon and art Garfunkel,Central Park concert. Quaffing a few ciders
Osibisa have their first album tucked away somewhere in the house.
Remember Osibisa, think I may have one of their records too, great band, but the band I was really into at that time was the Mahavishnu Orhestra led by John Mclaughlin-
who was in o the start of the British blues boom, playing with Graham Band's band, which included Jack Bruce and G inger Baker and many who found fame and fortune. John went onto record with Miles Davies.
I saw the Mavhavishnu Orchestra live at Crystal Palace Bowl, as well as buying all their records, was really into them-
Talking of the originators of the Brit blues boom, two highly influential figures-trailblazers, were Chris Barber and the great Otillie Patterson -

Royalty. Saw james brow often, bb king a couple of times but bobby died just before we were due to se him. What a voice he had... ain't no love in the heart of the city was an r&b all time classic. My dad who was not a blues fan loved that tune and was the one that introduced me too it. Istill keep my dad's seat as a season ticket.. it's his seat for ever.
I wrote on another thread about how the impression Sonny and Brownie's record Back Country Blues made on me as a young teenager, the first real Blues I'd heard, after buying records by Bo diddley, Chuck Berry, Howling Wolf etc, through the Stones, who covered these artists, though maybe doesn't mean much to people today.
I have seen them live, at Brixton Astoria in the early 8O's. Here with Pete Seeger, famous folk singer, but now maybe more famous from trying to put an axe through the cables when Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport festival!
Many have covered this great Tim Hardin, song, such as Neil Young, Springsteen, etc, but I really like this by Karen Dalton, someone new to me, but love her voice -
Rod Stewart and Ron Wood-
To cheer us all up - Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Emmylou Harris, Rufus Wainwright, Mary Black, Karen Matheson

I watched that last night, I don't personally agree that they are the greatest British band ever, but I found it really entertaining, Ray Davies is a nice charismatic fella, they were not really my type of band, but they are a tight watchable band.
Steely Dan - my old school
the Rutles - hold my hand
Starship - Sara
I had the original recording. Think it was the B side to Mother and Child Reunion. But I had never heard this version before.
I dedicate this song to possible departures.
In honor of Mr. Tony Bennett who has passed away at the age of 96. RIP ::candle::

This ones quite good
The Sound Of Silence - NiNi Music
Saw all three of these great bands in my youth
Breadfan - Budgie
Teenage Rebel - Pink Fairies
Silver Machine - Hawkwind
None of them quite meet Simon and garfunkle
My offering this week
Just in case you have never heard of them before they won the Mercury Music Prize last night I can heavily recommend the Ezra Collective.
Dark Side Riddim is a truly excellent instrumental track;
Been wallowing in TV theme tunes from the 60s, which I do think was a golden age...but maybe that's just because I was young and they made more of an impression. This is a classic from Ron Grainer:
Jackson Browne - running on empty
England Dan & John Ford Coley - I'd really love to see you tonight
Some say this is the best version of this song. I'll go along with that.
Dodge what a gem . Heard a few other versions but always thought Jimmy ruffin couldn't be beat , how wrong I was

Listened to a few versions first Bobbo but 2.50 in on that track she really cracks it.

It staggers me at the talent that is out there. But most of it gets lost with the noise of what is pushed at us. With that in mind this was suggested to me as a fan of Japanese bands. Only have a small following on YouTube. However I thought it was worth a wider audience.

Melanie has just passed on a couple of her tracks rarely heard.
Still can't resist a bit of James Taylor been to maybe 20 of his concerts here and several points in the U.s. this ranks in my top 5 of his songs , enjoy it .
Likewise another of my favourite acts America . This from 1979 live
And still punching it out in his early 80's zoot money , not what he was in his hey days but still gigging every couple of moths at bulls head barnes
Couple of gems there dodge 👍
Both songs wellcovered Bobbo, she added her own touch to

Here's a little number I used to watch cliff Bennett do it really well back early sixties , but the original is nearly always better .the pathetic act that was Freddie and the dreamers covered it and what a mess by them like everything else they did .so here's the original by James ray
This caught my eye on front of the album cover just previously posted it was on the flip side of will you still love me tomorrow by shirtless I had the record .

Illinois Jacqut rocking it before the rockers.
This evening for some odd reason I found myself watching and listening to Queen and then Bowie at the Live Aid concert 1985.
Epic!
Might of posted this before apologies if I have but I can't get enough of JT
Part of the reason why watching some bands perform over and above the music. Is the pure joy they seem to have while performing. My favourite drummer is Akane from Band Maid. Just look at that smile.

Bobbo would love to know more of your interesting time/experience of 1970's Jamaica.
The political tension intertwined with Rastafarianism and reggae as you know led to the formation of many great artists and music of which I'm a big fan of.
Bob Marley being one and his One Love Concert in 1978 aimed to bring peace between the warring PLP and JLP factions by bringing both opposition leaders on stage to lock hands in a show of unity but this was very short lived.
This one for Bobbo and Spikey
Hi spikey I did send you a message via pm should be on yer email 👍
