6808. Vicki Lawrence - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

-
Image
From: The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia ; Year: 1973; Genre: Country/Pop/Rock I've always loved songs that tell engaging tales, of which this one. I heard this one a lot over the years and always listen until it ends. While Vicki Lawrence is considered a "one hit wonder," her acting career is far greater; I saw her in many roles on different shows. In fact, did not connect the dots for many years that she was the artist that recorded this song. I guess she saw a job in acting as better and/or just liked the lifestyle better. Anyway, as with the best tales, this one is about some fictional murders and judicial injustice that leads to the execution of an innocent man; in this case it was the brother of the person telling the story, who in a twist is the actual killer.    Hear The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Before the Kiss, A Redcap     My song pick 2 years ago to...

6806. The J. Geils Band - Centerfold

-
Image
From: Freeze Frame ; Year: 1981; Genre: Rock/New Wave For the last couple of weeks I've had some of J. Geils Band's music on the brain; this track is one in particular. Inside this rather catchy and fun song is an interesting tale that on the surface seems a bit racy, but it is really about the ruining of static memories from your past. In this case the man is regaling the listener about a dream girl from high school he had a serious crush on; in his mind she was still the innocent schoolgirl. However, after seeing her in the centerfold of an adult magazine, she is no longer that innocent girl from his memories, but has continued her life and is now a woman. Much of the song is about him coming to terms with it and accepting this new reality about someone special from his past.   Hear Centerfold on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Michael Jackson - Ben   My song pick 2 years ago today: John Williams - The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) ...

6807. Sir Mix-a-Lot - My Hooptie

-
Image
From: Seminar ; Year: 1989; Genre: Rap/Hip-Hop Been working on my car for a solid three days getting a worn out, super stubborn ball joint out and putting in a replacement. It always seems that I have these "little" maintenance chores that need done, but something always goes wrong and ends up a giant mess. Anyway, whilst getting ready to pick today's song I had this classic track pop into my mind and, under the circumstances, I knew there was no other track to choose. Sir Mix-a-Lot is one that immediately puts a huge grin on my face when one of his tracks plays. This one in particular I identify all to well with; I have owned quite a few vehicles that perfectly match his description, especially when I was younger. Rolling in a vehicle that is not road worthy or probably legal, but is yours is something that makes some incredible memories.   Hear My Hooptie on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Ritchie Valens - La Bamba     My song pick 2...

6805. Dr. John - Pots on Fiyo (Filé Gumbo) / Who I Got to Fall On (If the Pot Get Heavy)

-
Image
From: The Sun, Moon & Herbs ; Year: 1971; Genre: Jazz Fusion It always puts me in a good mood when I play one of Dr. John's albums. This one mixes Dr. John's signature New Orleans sound with some jazz and rock. I have to agree with the artist: it is best to listen to this one at night with the lights off; just adds to the mystique.   Hear Pots on Fiyo (Filé Gumbo) / Who I Got to Fall On (If the Pot Get Heavy) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Slow Groove     My song pick 2 years ago today: Sly Stone - His Eye Is on the Sparrow   My song pick 3 years ago today: Roy Eldridge and Benny Carter - Close Your Eyes   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jigsaw - One Way Street   My song pick 5 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Goodbye Angels   My song pick 6 years ago today: Triumph - Somebody's Out There   My song pick 7 years ago today: Primus - DMV My song pick 8 years ago today: Al ...

6804. The Winery Dogs - Regret

-
Image
From: The Winery Dogs ; Year: 2012; Genre: Blues Rock I really hope these great musicians make some new material; I am aware that each of them have many projects and/or primary bands they are in, but I absolutely love them in this trio. Anyway, this is the final track on their debut album, which is a gorgeous bluesy ballad that shows that they can play mellower and still be the virtuosos that they are.   Hear Regret on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: George Clinton - Pleasures Of Exhaustion (Do It Till I Drop)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Richie Kotzen - Dream of a New Day   My song pick 3 years ago today: Gordon Lightfoot - Rainy Day People   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Thermals - I Might Need You To Kill   My song pick 5 years ago today: IQ - Passing Strangers   My song pick 6 years ago today: Melissa Manchester - Don't Cry Out Loud   My song pick 7 years ago today: Lighthouse - Magic's in th...

6809. Orleans - Still the One

-
Image
From: Waking and Dreaming ; Year: 1976; Genre: Rock/Pop Happened to have this one playing in my brain just before getting ready to make this post, you know the rest. Probably individuals around my age and old remember this slice of 1970s pop; those younger might remember some of the song used in commercials and such. Still quite enjoyable and the twin lead guitars are definitely one of the best parts.     Hear Still the One on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Mac Davis - Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bob Marley and The Wailers - Freedom Time   My song pick 3 years ago today: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nothing Ever Happens   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Living in These Hard Times   My song pick 5 years ago today: Parliament - Livin' the Life   My song pick 6 years ago today: Alice in Chains - Rainier Fog   My song pick 7 years ago today: Savatage - S...

About My Song A Day Blog:

Image
Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
