Needed some more music from Jimmy Castor today on this Funky Friday. This is a very danceable track with a noted disco influence added to his normal funky sound.

6833. Blue Öyster Cult - We Gotta Get Out of This Place

-
Image
From: Ghost Stories ; Year: 2024; Genre: Hard Rock Just happened to have BÖC on the brain and was listening to their latest album release, Ghost Stories , which is a collection of remastered and unreleased tracks from the late 1970s to early 1980s. I'm not 100% sure, but close to it, from all I can tell, this cover of the immortal emotional song by The Animals, is a remix/remaster from Blue Öyster Cult's '78 live album Some Enchanted Evening .   Hear We Gotta Get Out of This Place on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Tim Hardin - Reason to Believe     My song pick 2 years ago today: Eric Burdon and War - Spirit     My song pick 3 years ago today: Jigsaw - Life Insurance   My song pick 4 years ago today: Tesla - Edison's Medicine   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones   My song pick 6 years ago today: Redbone - When You Got Trouble   My song pick 7 years ago today: Blue Öyster ...

6837. Jean Knight - Mr. Big Stuff

-
Image
From: Mr. Big Stuff ; Year: 1971; Genre: Funk/Soul Probably should have waited until tomorrow to choose this one for Funky Friday, but I love the genre and this track too much.  This one popped into my mind whilst I actually had another song with a similar riff that caused both to start running concurrently, which happens a lot in my head actually. Anyway, this is one of those songs that doesn't have one "standout" aspect(s) that catches my attention, but rather a Gestalt, if you will. The entire makeup from beat to vocal is just so good it has your complete attention from start to finish, which is the hallmark of the Stax Records hit machine. Of course Jean Knight's empowering attitude sells the lyrics and subject matter better that perfect.   Hear Mr. Big Stuff on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - I Don't Live Today     My song pick 2 years ago today: Vanilla Fudge - The Windmills Of Your Mind   ...

6832. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Woman, Woman

-
Image
From: Woman, Woman ; Year: 1968; Genre: Rock/Pop Had this one bouncing around my cranium every now and then for the last couple of weeks, so, just now am getting around to picking it. Whilst I knew I had not added this song yet, I kept thinking that I had already done so with this band for another song, but was mistaken. Probably due to some other bands with a Gary as the leader of another "& the" band name. Anyhoo, those who are into older classics or grew up back when this one was on mainstream radio will immediately recognize it. Gary Puckett's soul-filled powerful vocals are one of the most prominent aspects along with the orchestration.   Hear Woman, Woman on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Marcus Miller - Rampage     My song pick 2 years ago today: Dead Meadow - This Shaky Hand is Not Mine     My song pick 3 years ago today: Hall & Oates - Kiss on My List   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Grateful Dead...

6834. Band of Horses - Marry Song

From: Cease to Begin ; Year: 2007; Genre: Blues Rock/Indie Rock Other than having music from this album on my mind I have no reason for this pick; I like this song and album too, I suppose.     Hear Marry Song on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Edgar Winter's White Trash - I Got News for You     My song pick 2 years ago today: Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra - Them There Eyes     My song pick 3 years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Chevrolet   My song pick 4 years ago today: Eddie Rabbitt - 747   My song pick 5 years ago today: B.J.

6835. Jackson Browne - Rock Me on the Water

-
Image
From: Jackson Browne ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock Yet another very busy day upon me, so I'm being slightly brief. Jackson Browne's self-titled debut record just seemed to call to me this morning; decided to go with his second single from it.    Hear Rock Me on the Water on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz     My song pick 2 years ago today: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock and Roll     My song pick 3 years ago today: Jerry Reed - Sixteen Tons   My song pick 4 years ago today: Alestorm - Magellan's Expedition   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Ventures - Twilight Zone   My song pick 6 years ago today: Victor Wooten - Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior   My song pick 7 years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Satisfied Man My song pick 8 years ago today: Johnny Cash - Four Strong Winds My song pick 9 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss My song ...

6838. Maceo & All The King's Men - A Funky Tale to Tell

-
Image
From: Funky Music Machine ; Year: 1972; Genre: Funk/Soul Here's a great one for this Friday's pick. It features the late-great Melvin Parker on drums in the band his brother Maceo led. Both are probably most noted for playing integral parts in James Brown's band and the creation of the funk genre, but both also have an extensive amount of collaborations with many, many artists. As you would expect, this track is an early evolution of funk combined with psychedelic soul and some jazz and fun as heck to listen to.   Hear A Funky Tale to Tell on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Swingin' Medallions - Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Queen - Fight from the Inside     My song pick 3 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Sage   My song pick 4 years ago today: Ratt - Round and Round   My song pick 5 years ago today: Little River Band - The Night Owls   My song pick 6 ...

6836. Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

-
Image
From: Fear of a Blank Planet ; Year: 2009; Genre: Progressive Rock This album was playing in my mind last night and this morning, which is a very good thing; a lot of amazing music to bounce around one's skull. This is a nice, shorter, (if you can call five-minutes short, right?), piece of music that has a very heavy, maudlin feeling to it; very beautiful.    Hear My Ashes on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Simon & Garfunkel - America     My song pick 2 years ago today: Edgar Winter - Tobacco Road     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'   My song pick 4 years ago today: Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue   My song pick 5 years ago today: Melvins - The Mechanical Bride   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - Little Gandy Dancer   My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - War Paint My song pick 8 years ago today: Cr...
