Song 545 ( Gregg Allman - I'm No Angel )

-


This song was running on the radio this evening whilst I was taking my wife out and about. It's probably one of the best and honest love songs that I have ever heard; basically saying "that if you love me, this is me warts and all." Of course the the southern rock heavy guitar music sells the song the rest of the way.

Watch the music video on YouTube.

6716. Three Dog Night - Joy to the World

-
Image
From: Naturally ; Year: 1970; Genre: Rock As many probably already know, one of Three Dog Night's three-part lead vocals Chuck Negron passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 83. He was noted as the higher pitched of the three vocalists and could really belt it out. While he sung the main lead and co-leads on many of their hit songs during the band's career, I would wager to guess that this is/was his signature track and one of the most memorable. From wot I understand, the rest of the band really didn't dig this one that was being shown by Hoyt Axton, who later also mad his own recording of it. However, Chuck Negron liked the nonsensical nature of the "fun" lyrics and thought they needed something not so serious on their record. He ended up being very correct and became one of their biggest hits. Heck, even children today will get into it the second they hear the opening lyrics: "Jeremiah was a bullfrog!"   Hear Joy to the World on YouTube.     ...

Image
From: Cookin' on the Roof ; Year: 1983; Genre: Pop/Rock/Swing This often overlooked and underappreciated '80s swing/rock/new wave group happens to be on my mind since yesterday, so I'm picking another one of their songs.

6717. IQ - The Enemy Smacks

-
Image
From: Tales From the Lush Attic ; Year: 1983; Genre: Progressive Rock Had a hankering for some second-wave prog rock, aka "neo-progressive rock." IQ is one of the bands from this era that I haven't gotten as heavy into, like I have with ones such as:  Pallas or Marillion . IQ though is one of the vanguard of the second prog wave and were only, as far as I am aware beaten to professional published studio release by Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear ; their debut as well. Even at that it was just latter that same year, but who is counting, right? Anyway, this album is much more like the original prog rockers' released in that it has very few songs, but those songs are quite lengthy, taking up a good share of a side of a record. In fact, Tales From the Lush Attic originally had just five with The Enemy Smacks is just under fourteen minutes and takes up the lion's share of side 2. Musically you can without a doubt hear the influences of a lot of the pr...

1372 Alabama - Mountain Music

1372 Alabama - Mountain Music From: Mountain Music , Year: 1982 I'm procrastinating tonight and really need to get my pick in and to finish my theme week as well. Anyway, this is the last pick in my "...And about 1300 days later" theme week of picking songs from bands that I haven't picked another song from since my first 100 song picks. I took a look at my first 100 picks and noticed that I had only chosen a song from Alabama once before. I chose their song Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) back on the 9th of November, 2007 as my 70th pick ; oddly enough it was the 6th song in my Truck Driving Song theme week as well. While I'm not a huge fan of Country/Western Music in general there are quite a few bands in the genre that I do like; Alabama is one of them. This is one of their first songs that came to mind when making my pick; I believe it is one of their more popular songs as well. As with most of their material, the vocal harmonies and musicianship are top-...

6713. Hank Williams - Move it on Over

-
Image
From: The Spirit of Hank Williams ; Year: 1961 (1947); Genre: Blues/Folk/Rockabilly I have always liked wot I have heard of Hank Williams, but over the last few years of delving into his music and such, I have developed a much greater respect and admiration for him and his work. In my opinion, looking at the lyrics and mournful melodies that he wrote plus the life he lead and came from, I would say he would not be out of place amongst many of the tortured artists that seemingly come once in a generation; and he even made it past the cursed age of 27, just barely. Writing songs that pierced through the bravado to go right to the heart of the regular "everyman" and expose his soul by saying and emoting hurt, sadness, loneliness, heartbreak and the overall pain of living in the lower-echelon of society. Heck, even the Grand Ole Opry didn't want him, his band, and his "lesser" music on their stage. However, when people heard this new sound they were hooked and his m...
