This is another song that I have been meaning to add to my list for a while now. I love this Flamenco version of The Eagles classic, the musicianship and technicality, as with all Flamenco guitar playing is incredible.

Here is a video with the studio version on MySpace.com Video.

6799. Homer & Jethro - She Made Toothpicks of the Timber of My Heart

-
Image
From: Ooh, That's Corny ; Year: 1963; Genre: Country/Comedy Was listening to Homer & Jethro yesterday, which is something I don't do too much unless I'm in the mood for something silly, which, for me at least, is normal for most comedy/parody artists. Anyway, this is one of their songs that I heard a lot over the years that, I believe, features the late-great Boots Randolph on saxophone, but if it's not him it is someone who was doing a good job of copying him.   Hear She Made Toothpicks of the Timbers of My Heart on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Rob Zombie - House of 1000 Corpses     My song pick 2 years ago today: Mike Pinder - Among the Stars   My song pick 3 years ago today: War - All Day Music   My song pick 4 years ago today: Earth, Wind & Fire - Side By Side   My song pick 5 years ago today: Sly & The Family Stone - Shine It On   My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - We Hold On   My son...

6802. Rare Earth - Tobacco Road

-
Image
From: Get Ready ; Year: 1969; Genre: Blues Rock Kind of felt like going for one of Rare Earth's extended tracks, of which I have already picked a lot. This is, of course, the modern classic standard originally written by John D. Loudermilk and has been covered and recorded many times. I'll always love this heavy blues version that I heard a lot over the years; all the instruments are incredible, but especially that organwork; and those guitars are spectacular.   Hear Tobacco Road on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Devo - Jocko Homo     My song pick 2 years ago today: Three Dog Night - Pieces of April   My song pick 3 years ago today: Alice in Chains - Hate to Feel   My song pick 4 years ago today: Midnight Oil - Sell My Soul   My song pick 5 years ago today: Ohio Players - Love Rollercoaster   My song pick 6 years ago today: Fairport Convention - Expletive Delighted   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Holli...

6801. America - In the Sea

-
Image
From: Das Letzte Einhorn "The Last Unicorn" Original Soundtrack ; Year: 1982; Genre: Soft Rock/Soundtrack Was talking about America's songs from this classic movie soundtrack and just a little later it came on while driving; quite a coincidence, right? Just seemed like a sign that it should be chosen today. Anyway, this was one of three tracks recorded by the band America for The Last Unicorn , but from wot I understand they also had a hand in the orchestral pieces as well. Gerry Beckley performs the lead vocals on this one and the title-track and, even though all pieces of music were written/arranged/produced by Jimmy Webb, this track and their others on the soundtrack sit perfectly with any compilation of songs from the band, which are actually included on some of their Greatest Hits albums.   Hear In the Sea on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - City's Still Growing     My song pick 2 years ago today: ...

6800. Redbone - Chant: 13th Hour

-
Image
From: Potlatch ; Year: 1970; Genre: Funk Rock/Traditional For about a week now I have had Redbone on my mind after watching some classic live performances; no better time than the present to pick one more. Been interested in some of their earlier work; I haven't yet listened to their self-titles debut album, but I really like this, their sophomore release. Chant: 13th Hour starts with about two minutes of traditional Native music that involves heavy drums, singing and a droning chorus in behind; very interesting. After that it goes into some awesome funky rock that, if you like their sound, you should very much appreciate.   Hear Chant: 13th Hour on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Desmond Dekker & The Aces - It Mek     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bob James - Nautilus   My song pick 3 years ago today: War - War Drums   My song pick 4 years ago today: Sam & Dave - You Don't Know Like I Know   My song pick 5 ...

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...

6798. Mother Love Bone - Stargazer

-
Image
From: Apple ; Year: 1990; Genre: Alternative Rock I often try to find some of the earlier bands and artists that started wot would become the iconic grunge movement; Mother Love Bone is of course one of them. Whilst they only lasted a few years, their one and only album has been sited by many in the grunge scene as highly influential. After the untimely death of bandleader and vocalist Andrew Wood they broke up and have done a few partial reunions, but the members also founded other big name acts of the 1990s, most notably Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog. Anyway, on this track in particular, you can still hear some production and mixing holdovers from the '80s hard rock sound, but, as expected, you can definitely hear the emerging sound to come.    Hear Stargazer on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Len Barry - 1-2-3     My song pick 2 years ago today: Dr. John - Mama Roux   My song pick 3 years ago today: Accept - Bulletproof...

6803. Dennis the Fox - Piledriver

-
Image
From: Mother Trucker ; Year: 1972; Genre: Country Funk/Rock Here's another country funk track to end the workweek and to also start a new month. Dennis Caldirola, aka. Dennis the Fox , is probably not a well-known artist, but has been active in the business for quite a while. As far as I am aware, Mother Trucker is his only studio album, but is well worth a good listen.   Hear Piledriver on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints   My song pick 3 years ago today: Bee Gees - First of May   My song pick 4 years ago today: Artie Shaw and His Orchestra - Nightmare   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Easybeats - Heaven and Hell   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Who - Ball and Chain   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Rolling Stones - Saint of Me My song pick 8 years ago today: Ste...
