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! :-)


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:

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. :-)

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

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 :-) ), 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. :-)

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

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

Had to crank this one on the way to work:

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.

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

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. :-)

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

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

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.
[Reply]

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


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

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

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