6853. Billy Joe Royal - Down in the Boondocks

-
Image
From: Down in the Boondocks ; Year: 1965; Genre: Pop/Rock Had this one on my mind the last couple of days; did not really know for sure who recorded it, but was and at the same time was not surprised to see that it was Billy Joe Royal. This is one of those "transistor glamour" songs: i.e. has everything in a small package. The music and that simple guitar hook have always been the main draw in my mind, but I've always loved the empowering vocals and message of striving for the life you want.   Hear Down in the Boondocks on YouTube.   (oh and, I should add that YouTube has gone full scorched-earth despot and made it almost impossible to watch videos now without jumping through countless hoops. Wotever their motive, probably more money for shareholders, all it did was make me adopt FreeTube , which I fully endorse.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Cameo - Raw but Tasty     My song pick 2 years ago today: Dave Edmunds and the Stray Cats - The Race Is...

6852. Funkadelic - Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?

-
Image
From: Funkadelic ; Year: 1970; Genre: Soul/Psychedelic Funk I wonder what it was like back in the day when people dropped the needle down on this brand-new album and were greeted by this out-of-this-world funky psychedelia that the world had not truly experienced before? For me, I was born in a time that this music was already permeating the U.S. culture, so I have no idea wot this did for those listening to it for the first time. Anyway, as I have repeated endlessly: Eddie Hazel's mind-blowing guitar playing with that wah-wah pedal really is my main draw, but I will also state that Billy "Bass" Nelson's grooving bass is exquisite as well.    Hear Mommy, What's a Funkadelic? on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Ozric Tentacles - Fetch Me the Pongmaster     My song pick 2 years ago today: The (Young) Rascals - In the Midnight Hour     My song pick 3 years ago today: Rush - Peaceable Kingdom   My song pick 4 years ago t...

6854. The Lovin' Spoonful - Butchie's Tune

-
Image
From: Daydream ; Year: 1966; Genre: Folk Rock This mellow folk rock tune just felt great for this mid summer's day.

6857. Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

-
Image
From: Rebel Yell ; Year: 1983; Genre: Hard Rock Earlier I had this one playing in my mind as if it was on the radio, so you know wot I am intending for today's pick. I don't know what it is about this song, but it's just one that makes you want to sing and dance along with it. And of course you have Steve Stevens showing off his severely underrated guitar mastery. Funny though, a long time ago I started changing his "More!" lyric into "Moe!," as in the leader of The Three Stooges . Even to this day I picture some woman in the throes ecstasy calling out for Moe Howard ; still laugh a little.   Hear Rebel Yell on YouTube.          My song pick 1 year ago today: Yes - Sweet Dreams     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bay City Rollers - Rock n' Roll Love Letter     My song pick 3 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - I Just Called To Say I Love You   My song pick 4 years ago today: Anita Ward - Ring My Bell   My song pick 5 years ago t...

-
Image
From: Cicero Park ; Year: 1974; Genre: Soul Dang, I forgot just how heavy this song was; still all these years on it still hits very hard emotionally. The music is so intoxicating and works exceptionally well to draw you into those emotion filled, powerful vocals; those emotive keening wails towards the end are just so haunting and perfect....   Hear Emma on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do     My song pick 2 years ago today: Saigon Kick - World Goes Round     My song pick 3 years ago today: Cyndi Lauper - When You Were Mine   My song pick 4 years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Welcome Back   My song pick 5 years ago today: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station - Water   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Foxy Lady   My song pick 7 years ago today: Rammstein - Ausländer My song pick 8 years ago today: Cat Stevens - Wild Worl...
