9/11/2023 This English rock band formed in 1983, had a few hiatuses, and are still active. They have been described as a mix between The Rolling Stones, Faces, and a bit of glam rock. This song was a decent hit for them.
9/10/2023 Mr. Haggard is taking some permanent lazy days, and Willie just turned 90 in April. He’s about ready to be rolled up and smoked.
9/9/2023 This, Cajun, progressive Bluegrass, and jam band, got its start in 1989 out of Boulder, Colorado. They are members of the band, Salmon Heads, and chose their name on the way to do a New Year’s Eve show.
9/8/2023 From their self titled debut album, going back to 1972. Sounds like a song for a lazy day.
9/7/2023 A 1973 easy listening song that charted in the US and Canada. From the album, “A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean.” Perfect attire for something.
9/6/2023 At 8:46, this is the longest song on group’s third studio album, “Picaresque,” released in 2005. It features some accordion work by band member Jenny Conlee.
9/5/2023 This 1981 novelty song charted in 16 countries, all in the top 10, except for the US. It also broke sales, and other records, and became Australia’s best selling single in history. Joe Dolce has been active for 55 years, was born in Ohio and wears the hats of singer-songwriter, multi instrumentalist, composer, poet, essayist, and film and television reviewer. To date, this song has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide.
9/4/2023 This song will most likely be recorded and released for years to come. A very meaningful song that can make someone feel secure and needed.
9/3/2023 A 1958 song that will get you moving. Freeman was a singer songwriter, and record producer, who had some decent hits, and played piano and keyboards.
9/2/2023 This is the English rock band’s debut single, released in 1967. They played for a total of 18 years and disbanded in 2004. Steve Winwood was an original member.
9/1/2023 From the 1981 “Allied Forces” album. The songs from the album are all Triumph, with a little help on background vocals from Elaine Overholt.
8/31/2023 This singer and vaudeville entertainer came from the bare minimum to achieve her success. Three years, 1888, 1894, and 1896. These are her three possible birth years. She grew up, working on the plantation (not a slave) of a wealthy family with her parents, and joined the church minstrel group at a very young age, then leaving at the age of 14 to tour with White and Clark’s Black & Tan Minstrels. A huge success, and independent businesswoman, she was one of the few black women to own and manage a business, and write her own songs in that era.
8/30/2023 Claus Larsen is the main force behind this electronic Danish music project. Twenty two albums, and many other works have been released since 1988. The two genres that are listed, electro industrial and EBM: electronic body music, doesn’t seem to cover everything that’s going on with this sound. Trancing and wicked come to mind.
8/29/2023 This 1987 Madchester/jangle pop tune climbed to #3 on the UK singles chart. It was the group’s 2nd single, but did not show up on the debut album. The genre, Madchester developed in the late 80s in the English town of Manchester, and was more of a musical and cultural development, rather than a genre. The Stone Roses ceased their musical activities in 2017. They also physically trashed a record label, cool!
8/28/2023 A meaningful song to the band, and Greg Allman in particular. Released in 1972 from the album, “Eat a Peach.”
8/27/2023 On the 1995 album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory”?, this rocking instrumental appears at the #6 track at :44, and the 11th track at :39. This version is 3:12. It is also the B-side of “Wonderwall.” Seems that it was untitled when it made the album. Enjoy!!
8/26/2023 One of only three songs that were not released as a single on the 1983 “Sports” album.
8/25/2023 Quite the cast of musicians took place in the recording of this song. Mr. Harrison called on his son Dhani, who is mainly working on scores for television and film, longtime family friend, Jeff Lynne of ELO, and a member of The Traveling Wilburys, and James Keltner, one of the greatest session drummers of our time. This is the last released song of Harrison’s career.
8//24/2023 Released in 2001, this rock song was inspired by a frightening surfing accident, where Johnson truly thought it was his last few moments alive. He prevailed.
8/23/2023 This is a romantic idea that would turn sour quickly for 90% of the people willing to attempt it. From the 1974 album, “Tooth, Fang & Claw,” which released “The Great White Buffalo,” and was the last album to be credited to Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes. After this one, Nugent went solo.
