From: Soul Street ; Year: 1974; Genre: Soul/Funk/R&B Still have a great deal of Stax Record's music on my mind, so I'm picking one from an artist that I like from their roster. Eddie Floyd is probably most known for his monumental hit Knock on Wood, but had many other great hit tracks, like this one. Hear Soul Street on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Black Sabbath - Changes My song pick 2 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Susie Q My song pick 3 years ago today: Lakeside - U Got It Goin' On My song pick 4 years ago today: Genesis - Counting Out Time My song pick 5 years ago today: Asia - Never Again My song pick 6 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Go Robot My song pick 7 years ago today: What Made Milwaukee Famous - Trying to Never Catch Up My song pick 8 years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Pilgrims My song pick 9 years ago today: Pink Floyd - I...
From: Mirror ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock This Saturday just seems like a perfect time for another song from Blue Öyster Cult. You're Not the One (I Was Looking For) is one written by Caryn Bouchard and drummer Albert Bouchard, which also features him on lead vocals. Hear You're Not the One (I Was Looking For) on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Sun Ra - Space is the Place My song pick 2 years ago today: Taco - Singin' in the Rain My song pick 3 years ago today: Big Maybelle - Candy My song pick 4 years ago today: David Bowie - Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise) My song pick 5 years ago today: The Pretenders - Don't Get Me Wrong My song pick 6 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Motherless Children My song pick 7 years ago today: Howlin' Wolf - Forty-Four My song pick 8 years ago today: Arlo - Stab the Unstoppable Hero My song pick 9 years ago today: Wild Turkey - One Sole...
From: Liege & Lief ; Year: 1969; Genre: Folk/Folk Rock This is another really interesting piece that is a folk rock arrangement of a traditional folk song: Roud 493; known as The Deserter and/or Ratcliffe Highway . From wot I can find, it was written sometime in either the 18th or 17th Century and has no definite author. One aspect about a lot of these old folk ballads is that most are based on a kernel of truth about some actual happening, although I do not know anything about if it is true of this one. The Deserter is one that Sandy Denny lent her beautiful voice to as lead vocalist, which, in my opinion is already a big win. However, though one should not be remissed in the great folk rock arrangement of the band. That floating time signature that is mostly in a waltz keeps the listener off balance somewhat, but helps to keep the attention of those beholding the story being told as to not let their regard for it to diminish. Hear The Deserter on YouTube. ...
From: Road Runner ; Year: 1966; Genre: Soul/R&B/Motown Was thinking about the landmark film Cooley High last night, which is one I want to watch again, (I'm a) Road Runner was of course included in its amazing soundtrack. There's so much to love about this one; no detractors in the slightest in my biased opinion. Hear (I'm a) Road Runner on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Supertramp - Brother Where You Bound My song pick 2 years ago today: Fairport Convention - Book Song My song pick 3 years ago today: Heart - Without You My song pick 4 years ago today: Stanley Clarke - We Supply My song pick 5 years ago today: ZZ Top - Stages My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Strip Cartoon My song pick 7 years ago today: Steve Vai - The Animal My song pick 8 years ago today: Savatage - Strange Wings My song pick 9 years ago today: Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night My song pick 10...
From: An Hour Before It's Dark ; Year: 2022; Genre: Progressive Rock Just needed some "neo-prog" today; decided on picking something from Marillion's most recent studio album. As with the majority of the pieces of music on the record, Be Hard On Yourself is made up of three smaller tracks: i. The Tear in the Big Picture , ii. Lust for Luxury , and iii. You Can Learn . To my ears Steve Hogarth's vocals remind me of Meat Loaf at times throughout this one, but other than that it is pretty similar to more recent Marillion across the board, which is excellent and exactly wot I needed. Hear Be Hard On Yourself on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good My song pick 2 years ago today: Green Day - F.O.D. My song pick 3 years ago today: Van Halen - Dreams My song pick 4 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - The Great Sun Jester My song pick 5 years ago today: King Crimson - Lady of the D...
This was another song that was playing on my iPod while on the road recently that I was considering for a pick. A really good straight-ahead rocker for my Sunday. Here is the music video on YouTube. +
BWV 225 ; Year: 1727; Genre: Baroque Period/classical I made it another year with this pick today. Back in 2007 on this day I started this blog on a social site called MySpace and in '09 I moved it here; it's getting hard to believe that I've been at this for eight years now. Anywho, this is an extremely beautiful motet piece for eight voices, and there's a good chance you've hear the melody to this song; it's quite memorable. Hear BWV 225 performed by Orquesta de La Chapelle Royale; conducted byPhilippe Herreweghe on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: 2590 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1077 - Canone doppio sopr'il soggetto My song pick two years ago today: 2218 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 996 - Suite in E-Minor My song pick three years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV. 1051 - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-Flat My song pick four years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1049 - Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G major My song...
