6722. John Denver - Tools

-
Image
From: Aerie ; Year: 1971; Genre: Folk Aerie is one of my top favourite John Denver records; it contains many of his songs that I like a great deal. Tools is a short, but sweet acoustic track that really acts like a "cooldown" to bring the album to a close, especially after the previous epic and energetic song The Eagle and the Hawk . Apparently it is an ode to a childhood pet rabbit he had for a short span.   Hear Tools on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Lovin' Spoonful - Daydream     My song pick 2 years ago today: Hawkwind - Lost Johnny   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Soul Searchers - Ashley's Roachclip   My song pick 4 years ago today: Frank Mackey & The Keltic Cowboys - Promise of a Better Life   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love   My song pick 6 years ago today: Yes - Harold Land   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach - Dr...

-
Image
From: Irene & Mavis ; Year: 1980; Genre: Synthpop/Electronic Rock Just recently discovered this early EP from Blancmange that predates their debut album Happy Families by a couple of years. It is really neat hearing the duo in a more embryonic state musically, this instrumental track is one of my favourite thus far.   Hear Holiday Camp on YouTube.        My song pick 1 year ago today: Golden Earring - Future     My song pick 2 years ago today: ABBA - The Name of the Game   My song pick 3 years ago today: Naked Eyes - Always Something There to Remind Me   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fight   My song pick 5 years ago today: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - If You Leave   My song pick 6 years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth   My song pick 7 years ago today: Midnight Oil - King of the Mountain My song pick 8 years ago today: The Wootens - Do I Do My song pick 9 year...

6721. 3 Doors Down - Let Me Go

-
Image
From: Seventeen Days ; Year: 2005; Genre: Alternative Rock It has been a weird year thus far; many deaths occurring from music's past. However, whilst I've never really followed the band closely, this one has had a unique impact on myself with having someone so close to my age pass away.  Enough about that now; as you probably surmised and already know, Brad Arnold, singer/songwriter for 3 Doors Down lost his battle with cancer. I thought I'd pick one of the band's songs that I remember from back in the day.   Hear Let Me Go on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - The Tipu House     My song pick 2 years ago today: Mr. Bungle - Stub (A Dub)   My song pick 3 years ago today: Lou Rawls - See You When I Git There   My song pick 4 years ago today: Barenaked Ladies - Internal Dynamo   My song pick 5 years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Vein Melter   My song pick 6 years ago today: Steve Vai - The Blood & ...

1953 Soundgarden - Taree

From: King Animal ; Year: 2012; Genre: Alternative Metal/Grunge I'm having an extremely busy day, so I'm having to be a bit brief with today's pick. Anyway, this is one of my favourites from Soundgarden's just-released album King Animal ; I love how they were able to keep their classic sound, but still have an infusion of new sound at the same time. Hear Taree on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Lighthouse - Pretty Lady My song pick two years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Mr. Recordman My song pick three years ago today: Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed - Something My song pick four years ago today: Buddy Holly & the Crickets - Well... All Right My song pick five years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

6724. Lemonheads - Frank Mills

-
Image
From: It's a Shame About Ray ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock/Folk Rock It's another one of those times that a song that I haven't heard in decades, (about 30 years I'd wager), popped into my mind and started playing. At least this time I knew the name of the band that recorded it, so that really expedited the process of finding it again. This is actually a cover of a song that appeared in the landmark musical production Hair , which is something I did not know about this one, but now I do.    Hear Frank Mills on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Melvins - Revulsion/We Reach     My song pick 2 years ago today: Joe Satriani - Driving at Night   My song pick 3 years ago today: Big Maybelle - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Coasters - Run Red Run   My song pick 5 years ago today: Return to Forever - After the Cosmic Rain   My song pick 6 years ago today: Nazareth - This Fligh...

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen)

-

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen) From: Dark Passion Play , Year: 2007 Genre: Symphonic Metal/Folk Metal Been meaning to pick another Nightwish track for a while now. This is quite a neat track, the Uilleann bagpipes really add a lot to the sound. The song actually has two versions: Last of the Wilds is an instrumental, which was released worldwide on their Dark Passion Play album. Erämaan viimeinen is essentially the same song with vocals sung in Finnish; this version apparently was only released in their native Finland. The vocals on Erämaan viimeinen were actually sung by Jonsu , who is the lead singer of the band Indica . Hear Last of the Wilds on YouTube. Hear Erämaan viimeinen on YouTube. Here is a live performance of Last of the Wilds on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Rush - Caravan My song pick two years ago today: John Denver - This Old Guitar My song pick three years ago today: Rammstein - Stirb Nicht Vor Mi...

2015 Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Take it Like a Man

-
Image
From: Head On ; Year: 1975; Genre: Hard Rock I felt like listening to some BTO this morning; I hadn't listened to their Head On album in a while, so that was the one I chose. While it was not really that commercially successful as their others, this is one of my top favourite albums from BTO. As with most of their other albums it was designed really well; the songs are arranged so well that it is best to play the disc through from beginning to end; each song seems to compliment its predecessor as well as its successor. Anyway, this has always been among the highlights from the record; I believe it was also the first single from it. As always Randy Bachman and the others are excellent, but I especially like Rob Bachman's drumming in particular on this song. An interesting fact about this track is that Little Richard played the piano throughout the song. Hear Take it Like a Man on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Stratovarius - Wings of Tomorrow My song ...
