6208. Blue Öyster Cult - So Supernatural

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818-mgVMrLL._SX522_.jpg
From: Ghost Stories; Year: 2024; Genre: Hard Rock
Here is one off of BÖC's new record, Ghost Stories; it is always great to have some new excellent music, especially from this legendary act. I love how they still have "that sound" that we all love, but have continued to evolve their music as well. The vocals in particular are top-notch; both Bloom and "Buck Dharma" have kept their pipes in great working order.

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...

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 - ...

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...

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...

6750. Van der Graaf Generator - My Room (Waiting for Wonderland)

-
Image
From: Still Life ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock Probably the last time I will be posting a track from Still Life , which is one of favourites from VdGG. It's not surprising with both how much I like it and the fact that they're one of the bands that released full records with five or six very long songs on it; with this one originally with only five. At around eight minutes in length, My Room is kind of the median length wise with two longer and two shorter songs on it. Anyway, the vocals are somewhat unique sounding with Peter Hammill singing quiet, low, and airy vocals with David Jackson's saxophone essentially playing a duet/counter line to the vocals, essentially treating the woodwind as a vocal in and of itself.   Hear My Room (Waiting for Wonderland) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Moon Crazy     My song pick 2 years ago today: Chad Allan & The Expressions (The Guess Who) - Theme from a Music Box...

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 ...

2065 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

-
Image
From: Wish You Were Here ; Year: 1975; Genre: Progressive Rock The other day I was looking for this post in my blog because I was absolutely certain that I had picked it, but after a search I realized that I was in error. I mean, holy crap, this is not only one of my absolute favroute songs from Pink Floyd, but is also one of my favourite songs, period. There was a few times recently in fact that I was wishing I could pick this song, but erroneously thought I already had. I wonder how many other songs that I am 'sure' that I've picked are still waiting to be chosen. Anyway, ever since discovering that I hadn't actually chosen it I had it sitting in my mental queue and thought it would make a good pick for today. Hear Wish You Were Here on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Dudley Moore Trio - Yesterdays My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - With You There To Help Me My song pick three years ago today: Dizzy Gillespie and His Orchestra - ...
