Ultimate Hillbilly metal! Ruby Dee was a pleasant distraction from Jim Dandy Mangrums washboard voice!

Tim Bachman has passed away, Randy is the only one of the brothers left. Damn I am getting old!!

He was most well known for that song about a sinking ship but this melody stands out in its own right.



RIP.

Those stories and that voice. Why Gordon Lightfoot’s music hit home for me and so many Canadians

Lightfoot’s gifts created devoted, decades-long fans around the world, but for Kenyon Wallace, the emotional connection — forged early — was even closer.

Despite his success and international following, Lightfood chose to continue living in Canada and the content of his lyrics tackled Canadian themes.

Caught one of the cherubs singing with headphones and asked what song it was,yup! too young for that song,so evident what the message is,ever listen to the words? Shame on you Rod. smh.

 

[rik schau]

That's some musical cocktail.

Another ear worm, music is the original, they just mimic, maybe first new age techno pop hit ever?

Prefer this style

Pure psychedelic of 1967, that song is a classic. Incence and Peppermint, Strawberry Alarm Clock. One musician is dressed with Aluminium foil. How that was possible?

Can't go wrong with psychedelia!

I found over 90 covers by her, some are excellent, this is an original I think. Colorful and funnny.

10cc did that hit?? I couldn't beleive that !!. It's strange their hits doesn't sound like from the same band.
10cc are versatile in styles.

Mariska Veres. Born in Neederland. I was just discovering her last week. She was a singer with a strong tone and able to keep a good beat. She was great at that time.

Catherine and Coryell

And that's the only jazz fusion group with Pat Metheny I can listen: Weather Report.
But they were better with Pastorius on bass and Ernskine on drums.

The Police
Genesis
Yes

This little gem from 1977. Found it today by happenstance although I was always a fan of Jan Hammer.
