222: Rock 'N' Blues Groovers...

Hi.

When I was starting to select songs for this compilation

I thought of it as a collection of fat bluesy rock 'n' roll songs,

then I believed it was all a bit more fat rock'n'rolling

bluessongs all together, then I thought maybe it was just another

great compilation of songs to feel good about all the bad,

then I realized I couldn't figure it out I guess...

-

fact in the end is Beefheart gets his great cover-version,

there's some fuzzy (wah-wah) guitar to be enjoyed all around,

I made me some awesome Blues Brothers artwork

(just click the pic, you know what I mean!)

and the songs really rock, so what do I care?

[:-)

Enjoy!

221: Wah-Wah Chronicles part 22, actually it's part 23, I've lost counting I guess :-)

Hi.

-

Today the Wah-Wah chronicles continue with

some really, really smokin tunes...

It's all here, smooth disco, excellent blues,

great soul and some funky (acid)jazz-rock.

-

Somewhere in these tunes IS a wah-wah, it may

take some time for some to appear, but it's there!

-

I must thank Greg, Cheeba, Nikos1109, & Dr.Okeh

for some of the featured songs here,

the Gaturs for the ode to my favorite drink,

and especially Michael Jackson for his

contribution in closing this wah-wah special...

216: Twice as nice...

Hi.

Today the covers squad hits town again!

At least twice, but some get a bit more attention...

-

Charlie Hunter does a brilliant job,

Earl Klugh sounds terrible,

Ian Siegal is a must-see-live-kinda-thing,

(and get totally splashed, soaked & genuine drunk :-)

Julius Brockington is a very underrated genius (who?),

Quinteplus should have left the drum solo out,

Sidney, George & Jackie did it all Temptations-like

and the rest is up to you for to comment on...

-

Hope you'll enjoy these ones - again -

I must thank all the original bloggers,

without whom this constantly cosy, coincidental corny

cover-continuum couldn't continue co-exist.

-

I especially mention Vincent here, who brought us Ray

Bryant's version of the good-old Ode To Billie Joe!
