From: Their Satanic Majesty's Request; Year: 1967; Genre: Psychedelic Rock
When sitting down to make today's pick I had this song running through my head for no apparent reason. She's A Rainbow is always a fun song to listen to from this album.

6747. Elmer & Brenda Parker and The Nite Lighters - Got To Get Back To Louisiana Pt. 2

-
Image
From: Movements 2 ; Year: 2006; Genre: Funk/Soul Thinking about choosing something from Tobias Kirmayer's Movements series of deep funk and soul cuts. This one seems to be among the rarer songs from the compilations; all I can really find out about it is that it was recorded at the end of the 1960 and released in either '70 or '71. He really did a service to us fans of these obscure and forgotten tracks; apparently an original 45rpm single runs upward of $90 plus as far as I can tell. Anyway, if you like some real raw, unfiltered funk this one will be right up your alleyway. Don't be surprised if you start moving to this groove; some amazing drumming and bass and then some.   Hear Got to Get Myself Back to Louisiana Pt. 2 on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Three Dog Night - Chest Fever     My song pick 2 years ago today: Them - Gloria   My song pick 3 years ago today: Vince Guaraldi - Red Baron   My song pick 4 years ago tod...

6744. The Rolling Stones - Love is Strong

-
Image
From: Voodoo Lounge ; Year: 1994; Genre: Blues Rock Started playing in my mind for wotever reason and decided that I would go ahead and choose it today. While definitely not the best material from the band, they really leaned heavy into wot they've always been best with: bluesy structure and unique guitar riffing from both Richards and Wood, which did, in fact make this such a good song from that time; heard it a lot on the radio and elsewhere.   Hear Love is Strong on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - March, the Mad Scientist     My song pick 2 years ago today: Gilbert and Sullivan - When I Was a Lad   My song pick 3 years ago today: Honey Cone - Want Ads   My song pick 4 years ago today: Max Roach - Little Folks   My song pick 5 years ago today: War - Groovin'   My song pick 6 years ago today: Cab Calloway - The Ghost of Smokey Joe   My song pick 7 years ago today: Spiral Starecase - More Today T...

6745. 2NU - Spaz Attack

-
Image
From: Ponderous ; Year: 1991; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk Trying to think of a different song to pick today, but this one that I have not heard in ages just keeps playing in my brain, so, what the heck? Right? I remember hearing this one a lot back then on the radio; I really think it is the overall weirdness and genre defying sound that really made this one, and others from the group, as popular as it was. Well, that and the hilarity of the narrator's inner monologue.   Hear Spaz Attack on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Winery Dogs - Gaslight     My song pick 2 years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Palm Grease   My song pick 3 years ago today: Wayne Shorter - Blues a la Carte   My song pick 4 years ago today: Sam & Dave - Soul Man   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hawkwind - The Phenomenon of Luminosity   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Cure - A Forest   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Temptations - ...

6749. The Chambers Brothers - A New Time - A New Day

-
Image
From: A New Time - A New Day ; Year: 1968; Genre: Psychedelic Soul Don't know wot it is like elsewhere in the world, but today marks the start of Daylight Savings Time over here, which really sucks. I felt the need to pick something more appropriate for the occasion. One of the first tracks that came to mind was The Chambers Brothers' classic Time Has Come Today , which I had already picked. However, on the followup album they had this apt title track, which absolutely fit wot I needed, and love those lead vocals a lot. Whilst I have never gotten full-on into this band, every time I hear one of their tracks immediately I like it. I definitely will have to delve further into their catalogue.    Hear A New Time - A New Day on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lou Christie - Lightnin' Strikes     My song pick 2 years ago today: Rose Royce - Keep On Keepin' On   My song pick 3 years ago today: Bob Marley & The Wailers - Midni...

6746. Lou Rawls - Ready or Not?

-
Image
From: Close Company ; Year: 1984; Genre: Soul/Funk Had a bunch of Lou Rawls' songs on my mind today; this is one I truthfully thought I had already picked, but it is understandable with how much I play this song in particular. I have said it before, but for me, no matter the track, Lou Rawls' voice is one of the most comforting. It's just a bonus that this one has that funky bumping rhythm that makes you want to get up and face the world.    Hear Ready Or Not? on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Wootens - Your Style     My song pick 2 years ago today: Rare Earth - Big John Is My Name   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Moody Blues - In My World   My song pick 4 years ago today: Oomph! - Kennst Du Mich?   My song pick 5 years ago today: Rare Earth - 6-3-4-5   My song pick 6 years ago today: Commodores - Nightshift   My song pick 7 years ago today: Pallas - Throwing Stones at the Wind My song pick 8 ...

6748. Commodores - The Zoo (The Human Zoo)

-
Image
From: Machine Gun ; Year: 1974; Genre: Soul/Funk/Rock Just had some Lionel Richie on my mind; I decided for today's pick that I'd go way back to the Commodores' debut studio record with this track that caught my ear. I tell ya, if you are used to only their mainstream hits you are in for a surprise. A lot heavier and funk/rock driven, but great to hear!      Hear The Zoo (The Human Zoo) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Cameo - Am I Bad Enough     My song pick 2 years ago today: John Denver - Mother Nature's Son   My song pick 3 years ago today: Rossington Collins Band - Don't Misunderstand Me   My song pick 4 years ago today: ABBA - Just a Notion   My song pick 5 years ago today: Jigsaw - Freud Fish   My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - Faithless   My song pick 7 years ago today: Our Lady Peace - Starseed My song pick 8 years ago today: David Bowie - Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) My son...

5136. Asia - Never Again

-
Image
From: Phoenix ; Year: 2008; Genre: Progressive Rock One of the bands that have helped me through the recent blue funk I was in was Asia; their music is very therapeutic for me. This song in particular hearkens back to pretty much their early 80s sound in many ways.   Hear Never Again on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Go Robot   My song pick 2 years ago today: What Made Milwaukee Famous - Trying to Never Catch Up My song pick 3 years ago today: Van der Graaf Generator - Pilgrims My song pick 4 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There? My song pick 5 years ago today: .38 Special - Caught Up In You My song pick 6 years ago today: Funkadelic - I Bet You My song pick 7 years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - ...And the gods Made Love My song pick 8 years ago today: Boz Scaggs - Can I Make It Last (Or Will It Just Be Over) My song pick 9 years ago today: Supertramp - It's Raining Again M...
