Song Of The Day
 

I just had this idea of posting a tune daily, or thereabouts anyway, that I'd like to share with my buddies here. Please feel free to add your own.

Enjoy.

I'm not a huge Jeff Beck fan, but that is an insane piece of axe work.
Thanks, Thomas!!!
Keep 'em comin. :tu

Re: Song Of The Day
 

I'll raise you a smackhead and a Chopin.
Here ya go, brother.
And some insane acoustic pre-smack work.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Nice ones, Scott. Man, Page looks like a schoolboy in that acoustic clip.

I became a Jeff Beck fan in college, thanks to classmate Joel Brinkley (David's son). He turned me on to Beck, and explained he was hard to get into initially because his style is so odd. Beck starts to play something, and you wonder "WTF is he doing there?!!?" Then he gets to the end, and you understand that "Oh yeah, THAT'S WTF he was doing there!" :r

A story behind today's cut. Some time back a friend told me she'd checked the forecast not by asking DaBear but by going to a website call Weather Underground. She, being a generation younger than me, did not understand why I looked at her shocked and confused, nor why I suggested it was as odd a name as calling your food service business Al-Cater. You youngsters may not get it either, but we old farts do. :D

"Sunshine of your Love" by Cream. I love Ginger Baker's drums.

As I get older I enjoy him more and more, if more people had some pride in their towns I think it would spread, become unstoppable, but sadly it's just not to be anymore, not for the majority anyway.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Nice clip, Warren. But why not maybe some Led Zeppelin instead . . . like maybe Black Dog? :D

(And would you believe that, at this very instant, my internet radio station is playing the studio version of "Sunshine"? :r )

Adam, sending Bruce to a guy living in Joisey? Sorta coals to Newcastle, ain't it? :r

Amos Lee defines my thoughts with this song:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Since it is Sunday, I thought something spiritual would be appropriate:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

I've been listening to Dire Straits. "Industrial Disease" is my song of the day.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Use to listen to a lot of his stuff. Met him at a coffee shop right before he started to record stuff.

The Civil Wars - same old same old

Great album.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Being a Monday, I thought maybe you guys needed a little something to wake you up a bit.

If this don't do it, you're dead. :r

Something a bit different today. Man, they just don't write songs today the way they used to.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Did Jack Bruce ever do vocals in any other bands aside from Cream?

Re: Song Of The Day
 

He did vocals for the Jack Bruce Band. Does that count? :r

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Massive internet problems today. It's taken 4 hours just to log on here. Sorry, no Song Today today.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

He did some albums with Robin Trower where he did vocals.

Thanks for the song and the info, Scott. Interesting video too. Damn, and I thought I was an old man! :r


OK, I know there are a lot of Eagles fans out there (and I ain't talking football), but I ain't one of them. Of all the "supergroups" out there, I thought they did the least with the most talent of them all . . . combined! In evidence, I provide the following:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Speaking of supergroups, they don't seem to exist any more. This is the last one I can recall, so let's have a little fun today with Lefty, Nelson, Otis, Lucky, and Charlie T. Jr.

I'm a little rushed today, so I'll just post a short little ditty. :D

A nice choice, from an under-appreciated artist. I see you, and raise you:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

There's a story behind today's tune. Growing up in rural NC during the '50s and '60s, there wasn't a lot of options for hearing the latest music in the rock genre. We'd see the big names on Ed Sullivan, and had Top 40 hits on AM radio heard through an earplug with our 9-volt transistor radios (some of you remember them), so I heard very little of the harder rock album cuts many others were privy to . . . and what I did hear, I did not much like. They did not seem tuneful, nor did the musicians seem very skilled. But late one night when still in high school (and in OUR school, there may have been only two or three students who were ever high on anything but bourbon :D ), I was listening to WOWO out of Ft. Wayne, which we could pick up only after the sun was well down. That night I heard a song that blew me away, and I thought "Damn, those guys are pretty good". I did not know the song or group, but I liked it so much that it stuck in my head . . . FOR FORTY YEARS! Yes, I never heard that damn song again, even though I listened to a TON of tunes in my college and post-college years, often under the tutelage of folks much more knowledgeable than myself.

Fast forward that four decades to an evening a year or so back. I was sitting with a buddy smoking a stogie and shooting the $#!+, and I mentioned this song. As I said, I did not know its name, but recalled its tag theme riff clearly . . . daDAdaDAdaDUM, daDAdaDAdaDUM, BOM!, daDAdaDAdaDUM, daDAdaDAdaDUM, BOM! . . . and told my friend that, knowing what I know now, I suspected it was Cream. He looked at me kinda funny, held up a finger, then walked to his car parked nearby, coming back with his iPod. He fiddled with the buttons a few seconds, stuck the buds in my ear, and pushed PLAY. And then, like a gift out of heaven, that song which had been stuck in my head for forty years was once again flowing into my ears.

Now, let it flow into yours. :r

And no, Jack Bruce is NOT singing vocals on it. ;)

Would you believe I know all the words to this old standard? :tu

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Thanks, MCS. Me, I've got more massive 'net problems today, so I'm glad somebody posted a song for today.

I shall try, but it took me nearly an hour to log in here, and a good five minutes to get the thread to open.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

School is back in session, so it's time for all of us to stand in the crossings singing this:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Nice. :tu

Re: Song Of The Day
 

When I was a bitty turd, I had a pocket crystal radio that was a biege plastic rectangular box with a jack for the crusty earplug. Then there was an antenna like thing you slid in and out that served as a crude dial. I loved that thing.
When I got old enough to really love music, I got some Who, Nugent, and Elvis Costello. I think those came for my birthday.
Then I haunted the bargain junk bin at Record Mart for years. That's where I found everything worth finding.
I bet it took me two years to find Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? on 45. It was the only way it could be gotten and I looked EVERYWHERE. One guy at Record Mart actually said to me, after seeing me there every other day for a couple years, and me asking about that 45 a hundred times, "we had two yesterday but they were gone immediately."
I killed him.

Almost forgot...
I checked the notes on that tune and added &fmt=18 to the url to catch it in stereo. 3 times. :D

Re: Song Of The Day
 

I played the crap out of that album as a kid. Always played both sides in one sitting.

MCS

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Something a little bit different today, maybe? Me, I love this guy, and just roll my eyes when people say "Who??" :rolleyes:


:D

Re: Song Of The Day
 

I'll raise you a Johnny Lee Hooker, Thomas.
I lived off 100% blues for years. Johnny Lee remains my favorite to this day. It doesn't matter what he's playing, it's all him.
Kinda like Lucinda Williams. She's the same way.

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Scott, Ry would approve of some John Lee, as do I. :tu


I can't see him without thinking of his cameo in The Blues Brothers, sitting curbside on a crate and doing his boogie shuffle. :r

Re: Song Of The Day
 

OK, how's about something a WHOLE lot different today, so clear a spot for this one:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

And something sorta old-school today, as I'm not in the best of moods:

I'm feeling a bit . . . uh, poetic today. :D

Re: Song Of The Day
 

Sorry for no tune yesterday, but once again my internet was messing up bad. So to make up for it, here's something a little special today. :D

Re: Song Of The Day
 

As I just got through listening to this album, I'd thought I'd share a piece of it with you:

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME ROCK'N'ROLL!!!

Re: Song Of The Day
 

For those depending on family, a cautionary tale today. :D

And now, for something completely different:

Re: Song Of The Day
 

OK. so this one's old school in two ways. Imprimis, who plays a National steel guitar these days? Secundus, who besides me owns a TV with a tube? :D


Well, my mama does, for one. :r

Here's a cut from a "lost treasure" album, one most of you likely do not know.

The song itself? You ought to know that. :D

It's Wednesday, which is New Comic Book Day, so here's one for all you Harley Quinns out there. ;)

Re: Song Of The Day
 

I actually had a different song in mind for today, but after just hearing this one I changed my mind. So here's the best cut (and the least played) on this famous landmark album . . . and it IS the best, despite Slowhand's painful clinker. :r



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjaqQJaqh-s


(FYI, in case you missed it, though I can't see how you COULD, that clinker is at about the 2:50 mark.)
