I had not heard this song in years and I figured that I would pick it today; I grew up heard this track quite a bit. Some straight-up 80's Country music.
From: Ghost Stories ; Year: 2024; Genre: Hard Rock Just happened to have BÖC on the brain and was listening to their latest album release, Ghost Stories , which is a collection of remastered and unreleased tracks from the late 1970s to early 1980s. I'm not 100% sure, but close to it, from all I can tell, this cover of the immortal emotional song by The Animals, is a remix/remaster from Blue Öyster Cult's '78 live album Some Enchanted Evening . Hear We Gotta Get Out of This Place on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Tim Hardin - Reason to Believe My song pick 2 years ago today: Eric Burdon and War - Spirit My song pick 3 years ago today: Jigsaw - Life Insurance My song pick 4 years ago today: Tesla - Edison's Medicine My song pick 5 years ago today: The Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones My song pick 6 years ago today: Redbone - When You Got Trouble My song pick 7 years ago today: Blue Öyster ...
From: Terrapin Station ; Year: 1977; Genre: Progressive Rock ¡Doh! I cannot believe that I missed my Memorial Day Grateful Dead pick; I guess better late than never. For some reason unbeknownst to me I just felt like putting on Terrapin Station again; immediately was welcomed by this rather strangely made track. I love the overall reggae feel, but that's kind of an illusion I suppose with Bill Kreutzmann's drumming in the modified 7/4 meter, (technically he's doing something like a 14/8), gives it a swinging reggae feel. Anyway, it is definitely a great weird one, which I absolutely adore, that fits an overall tardy pick such as this. Hear Estimated Prophet on YouTube.

My song pick 2 years ago today: Geddy Lee - I Am...You Are My song pick 3 years ago today: Tina Turner - Private Dancer My song pick 4 years ago today: Yes - Onward My song...
From: In the Face of Funk ; Year: 1994; Genre: Funk/Hip-Hop Dang, I ain't kiddin', this Friday really did some sneaking up on me this week. Instantly when I saw it was time to make my song pick for today there was no other band on my mind but Cameo; like I need a reason to go with one of their tracks. Hear In the Face of Funk on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is) My song pick 2 years ago today: The Nightwatchman - A Wall Against the Wind My song pick 3 years ago today: The Grateful Dead - When Push Comes to Shove My song pick 4 years ago today: Depeche Mode - A Question of Time My song pick 5 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Veins My song pick 6 years ago today: Weather Report - The Moors My song pick 7 years ago today: Stratovarius - S.O.S.

From: Here's to the People ; Year: 1991; Genre: Cool Jazz/Jazz Fusion Most into jazz and associated genres are most likely aware of the passing of jazz giant Sonny Rollins a couple of days ago. It is just so mind-blowing to think of all the music, musicians, and history he experienced in his 95 years on this Earth, let alone all of the decades he was active. To think, that he took a large part in and saw all the new forms of jazz and the people he played with. It is a rarity to see an active musician touring for so many years, especially in jazz live so long. He definitely will be missed and then some. Anyway, I had a lot of music from many eras to choose from for this song pick. My thoughts went to the '60s or '70s, but then I have noticed that jazz, overall, at least here in the U.S. was kind of in the background by the 1990s, so I checked out one of his albums from the early part of the decade. I have to say, I am overjoyed that I did so. This one in particular I found a...
From: Cease to Begin ; Year: 2007; Genre: Blues Rock/Indie Rock Other than having music from this album on my mind I have no reason for this pick; I like this song and album too, I suppose. Hear Marry Song on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Edgar Winter's White Trash - I Got News for You My song pick 2 years ago today: Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra - Them There Eyes My song pick 3 years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Chevrolet My song pick 4 years ago today: Eddie Rabbitt - 747 My song pick 5 years ago today: B.J. Thomas - Hooked on a Feeling My song pick 6 years ago today: Tears for Fears - Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) My song pick 7 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Passion, Grace & Fire My song pick 8 years ago today: Weezer - Africa My song pick 9 years ago today: Red Rider - Human Race My song pick 10 years ago today: Lighthouse - One Fine Morning ...
From: Woman, Woman ; Year: 1968; Genre: Rock/Pop Had this one bouncing around my cranium every now and then for the last couple of weeks, so, just now am getting around to picking it. Whilst I knew I had not added this song yet, I kept thinking that I had already done so with this band for another song, but was mistaken. Probably due to some other bands with a Gary as the leader of another "& the" band name. Anyhoo, those who are into older classics or grew up back when this one was on mainstream radio will immediately recognize it. Gary Puckett's soul-filled powerful vocals are one of the most prominent aspects along with the orchestration. Hear Woman, Woman on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Marcus Miller - Rampage My song pick 2 years ago today: Dead Meadow - This Shaky Hand is Not Mine My song pick 3 years ago today: Hall & Oates - Kiss on My List My song pick 4 years ago today: The Grateful Dead...
1426 Ome Henk - Neem Een Ander In De Maling (Barbie Girl) From: Ome Henk Laat Zich Niet Kisten! , Year: 1997 Genre: Comedy/Parody Max is currently in the midst of a theme week about songs misattributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic. Almost a year ago I did a theme week based on one of my pet peeves of a similar nature: songs misattributed to the German group Rammstein . Anyway, with Max doing his theme week it brought this track back from the recesses of my brain and I figured it would make an excellent pick. When I saw this song credited to Rammstein it almost made me bang my head against my computer's screen. I mean, for crying out loud in the dead of the night, it sounds absolutely nothing like Rammstein and it's sung in Dutch, not German! I have to chalk this up to ignorant people from North America hearing a song sung in a Northern European language and moronically giving one of the only bands they know from Europe credit for it. This song is a parody of...
