I figured that I would end my theme week the way I started it: with a rather nice George Harrison composition. There is so much to listen to in this song, so many layers. It is quite a beautiful track.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Up Around The Bend
My song pick two years ago today: Rammstein - Du Riechst So Gut

6833. Blue Öyster Cult - We Gotta Get Out of This Place

-
Image
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 ...

6837. Jean Knight - Mr. Big Stuff

-
Image
From: Mr. Big Stuff ; Year: 1971; Genre: Funk/Soul Probably should have waited until tomorrow to choose this one for Funky Friday, but I love the genre and this track too much.  This one popped into my mind whilst I actually had another song with a similar riff that caused both to start running concurrently, which happens a lot in my head actually. Anyway, this is one of those songs that doesn't have one "standout" aspect(s) that catches my attention, but rather a Gestalt, if you will. The entire makeup from beat to vocal is just so good it has your complete attention from start to finish, which is the hallmark of the Stax Records hit machine. Of course Jean Knight's empowering attitude sells the lyrics and subject matter better that perfect.   Hear Mr. Big Stuff on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - I Don't Live Today     My song pick 2 years ago today: Vanilla Fudge - The Windmills Of Your Mind   ...

From: Jackson Browne ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock Yet another very busy day upon me, so I'm being slightly brief.

6834. Band of Horses - Marry Song

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.

6836. Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

-
Image
From: Fear of a Blank Planet ; Year: 2009; Genre: Progressive Rock This album was playing in my mind last night and this morning, which is a very good thing; a lot of amazing music to bounce around one's skull. This is a nice, shorter, (if you can call five-minutes short, right?), piece of music that has a very heavy, maudlin feeling to it; very beautiful.    Hear My Ashes on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Simon & Garfunkel - America     My song pick 2 years ago today: Edgar Winter - Tobacco Road     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'   My song pick 4 years ago today: Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue   My song pick 5 years ago today: Melvins - The Mechanical Bride   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Little Gandy Dancer   My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - War Paint My song pick 8 years ago today: Cr...

6838. Maceo & All The King's Men - A Funky Tale to Tell

-
Image
From: Funky Music Machine ; Year: 1972; Genre: Funk/Soul Here's a great one for this Friday's pick. It features the late-great Melvin Parker on drums in the band his brother Maceo led. Both are probably most noted for playing integral parts in James Brown's band and the creation of the funk genre, but both also have an extensive amount of collaborations with many, many artists. As you would expect, this track is an early evolution of funk combined with psychedelic soul and some jazz and fun as heck to listen to.   Hear A Funky Tale to Tell on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Swingin' Medallions - Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Queen - Fight from the Inside     My song pick 3 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Sage   My song pick 4 years ago today: Ratt - Round and Round   My song pick 5 years ago today: Little River Band - The Night Owls   My song pick 6 ...

995 Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) feat. Freddy Taylor - Shine

995 Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli (Quintette du Hot Club de France) feat. Freddy Taylor - Shine One of my main focuses musically on over the last two or so years has been trying to find some of the earlier recordings of music from when the concept of music was a purely as a live medium. I have come to enjoy the music from the interwar period in particular quite a bit. I actually found this version of the song while I was researching the songs which Freddy Taylor performed on during his musical career. He lent his vocal talent on some of the songs recorded by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the Quintette du Hot Club de France; this is one of those songs. Anyway, this is the Quintette du Hot Club de France's version of the song That's Why They Call Me Shine , also known by the abbreviated title: Shine, which was originally written a hundred years ago in 1910 by Lew Brown, Ford Dabney & R.C. McPherson; from what I understand this song was actu...
