From: Foreigner; Year: 1977; Genre: Rock
I might be in the minority among Foreigner fans, but without a doubt their self-titled debut album is without a single doubt my favourite from the band. On this track in particular the guitar and bass really drive it once the very computerized keyboard and vocal section concludes.

6189. Dr. John - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

-
Image
From: In a Sentimental Mood ; Year: 1989; Genre: Swing/Big Band Jazz Had this song on my mind since yesterday; quite a catchy and upbeat track to say the least. This one is a standard from during the height of The War, originally written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. From wot I understand the title and main idea of the song was borrowed from a sermon by a popular preacher at the time, Father Divine , which translated very well into an upbeat song. Many have recorded versions of this popular standard over the years, I almost went for a few others, but I knew Dr. John's really well, and I am a fan of his work, so I chose his rendition.   Hear Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Herman's Hermits - End of the World   My song pick 2 years ago today: Alice in Chains - The One You Know   My song pick 3 years ago today: Yes - Going for the One   My song pick 4 years ago today: Dayton Sidewinders - Phoenix ...

6139. Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship - Starship

-
Image
From: Blows Against the Empire ; Year: 1970; Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock Been decompressing from being on the road out of town and am definitely using things like this blog to help get back to homeostasis you could say. Anyway, I have had this concept record by Paul Kantner and company on my mind off and on over the last bit and decided now would be a good time to choose another track from it. This is the "grand finale" of the "space opera" concept, which features a big group of who's who from the folk rock scene at the time contributing on this track and a few others. Starship features the lead guitar of the late-great Jerry Garcia, although you really wouldn't need to be told that because it is so obvious his sound and style. Also David Crosby and Graham Nash add some backing vocals, also Harvey Brooks on bass and other Jefferson Airplane alumni Grace Slick and David Freiberg as well. As you would guess, it's a rather big sounding progressive p...

6136. Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool

-

From: Ricky Nelson ; Year: 1958; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/Country Happy April Fools Day! Had a couple of other songs in mind for this minor holiday, (that is, if you can call it an actual holiday), but had this one just pop into my head while I was getting ready to pick. It's one of those songs from the still emerging pop scene of the 1950s where genres overlapped a bit, plus Ricky Nelson's delivery kind of plays into the types of music with some bits and pieces of them pieced together throughout.   Hear Poor Little Fool on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving   My song pick 2 years ago today: James Brown - These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)   My song pick 3 years ago today: Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers - Why Do Fools Fall In Love   My song pick 4 years ago today: Billy Joel - Sometimes a Fantasy   My song pick 5 years ago today: Def Leppard - Foolin' My song pick 6 years ago today: The Doobie B...
