From: Shore; Year: 2020; Genre: Indie Rock
Here's one from Fleet Foxes that I happened to hear whilst driving yesterday. This one's lighter and more airy that their music I'm used to, but it's still pretty good all the same.

6851. Hot Chocolate - Emma

-
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...

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...

-
Image
From: Blanc Burn ; Year: 2011; Genre: New Wave/Synthpop Finally got to put this one on the other day and all I can say is that it immediately put a smile on my face. There are heavy times where such light and whimsical songs are just wot the doctor ordered so to speak; this is one of them in spades!    Hear I'm Having a Coffee on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Mac Davis - I Believe In Music     My song pick 2 years ago today: Joe Cocker - Something     My song pick 3 years ago today: Johnny Rodriguez - Erez tú   My song pick 4 years ago today: Stanley Clarke - More Hot Fun   My song pick 5 years ago today: Cheap Trick - Ain't That a Shame   My song pick 6 years ago today: Marcus Miller - Superspy   My song pick 7 years ago today: Seals & Crofts - Diamond Girl My song pick 8 years ago today: Rick James - Call Me Up My song pick 9 years ago today: Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand My song pi...

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. The guitar played with a bunch of tremolo really compliments the vocals in this one.   Hear Butchie's Tune on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Heart - Little Queen     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Rhythm Machine - Freakish Love     My song pick 3 years ago today: War - Don't Let No One Get You Down   My song pick 4 years ago today: Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues   My song pick 5 years ago today: Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Pallas - The Alien Messiah   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Beach Boys - Your Summer Dream My song pick 8 years ago today: Blue Cheer - Rock Me Baby My song pick 9 years ago today: The Byrds - So You Want to be a Rock 'n' Roll Star My song pick 10 years ago today: The Chi-Lites - Stoned Out of My Mind My ...

6856. Fairport Convention - Sloth

-
Image
From: Full House ; Year: 1970; Genre: Folk/Folk Rock Sloth is among the fully original compositions on the record and one of their lengthier tracks. It has an amazing sound, arrangement and instrumentation throughout; a perfect balance of both folk and rock I have to say.   Hear Sloth on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Zones - New Life     My song pick 2 years ago today: Johnny Rivers - Seventh Son     My song pick 3 years ago today: Rare Earth - Satisfaction Guaranteed   My song pick 4 years ago today: Meat Loaf - You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Saturday Night)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Cam Ye O'er Frae France   My song pick 6 years ago today: Hawkwind - The Road To...   My song pick 7 years ago today: Lacy J.

6850. Midnight Oil - Blossom and Blood

-
Image
From: Species Deceases ; Year: 1985; Genre: Alternative Rock/Punk Don't really need a reason to pick a song from my absolute favourite Australian band, but decided on going with one off of one of the EPs. Just about all of the four tracks on Species Deceases still get air play to this day. The high energy punk attitude and feel throughout this one in particular just gets you riled up and singing along.   Hear Blossom and Blood on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Trio of Doom - Para Oriente     My song pick 2 years ago today: Los Lobos - Don't Worry Baby     My song pick 3 years ago today: Lou Rawls - Three O'Clock in the Morning   My song pick 4 years ago today: Funkadelic - First Ya Gotta Shake The Gate   My song pick 5 years ago today: Curved Air - Easy   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Temptations - (I Know) I'm Losing You   My song pick 7 years ago today: Neil Young - Heart of Gold My song pick ...
