1094 Jigsaw - BWV 147 - Jesu, the Joy of Man's Desiring

Celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary today and I thought that this Rock rendition of the J.S. Bach composition would be a fitting pick. This was one of the highlights off of Jigsaw's '71 debut album Letherslade Farm.
Interesting enough, the band Apollo 100 about a year later released a version of this track, which is almost identical; the Apollo 100 version actually had more chart success than the Jigsaw version as well.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Second Hand
 
My song pick two years ago today: Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade

6891. Fairport Convention - The Deserter

-
Image
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.     ...

6893. Motörhead - Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye

-
Image
From: The Wörld is Yours ; Year: 2011; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Time for another fast as heck hard rocking song from Lemmy and his band Motörhead. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: I wish to God that I had the same ability to be as unforgivingly eloquent and immune to ridicule as Mr. Ian Kilmister.   Hear Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Come Running To Me     My song pick 2 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Killing Yourself to Live     My song pick 3 years ago today: Al Di Meola - Atavism of Twilight   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lou Reed - My Red Joystick   My song pick 5 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Don't You Worry About a Thing   My song pick 6 years ago today: Cream - Take it Back   My song pick 7 years ago today: Sweet - Ballroom Blitz My song pick 8 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Don't Let the Blues Get You Down ...

6892. Junior Walker & the All-Stars - (I'm a) Road Runner

-
Image
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...

6890. Marillion - Be Hard On Yourself

-
Image
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...

-
Image
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...
