Every Little Bit Hurts ~ Brenda Holloway
Another walk down Soul’s less traveled walk of fame — and it’s a fine, fine rendition by Brenda who had a relaxed easy vocal style that could still infuse all kinds of emotion in a tune. Have a little listen and think she was already a long term vet at the ripe old age of 24 on this one! The Saturday Got Soul selecton from The Flimwell Papers’ Music Corner.
The Doors ~ Riders On The Storm
Just kick back and listen to Ray’s playing on this opening…it’s got you….you’re hooked!
RIP Ray Manzarek!
“This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need…of some…stranger’s hand
In a…desperate land….”
RIP Ray Manzarek
Liquid Lunch ~ Caro Emerald
Haling from the Netherlands with a Jazz Vocals degree under her belt Ms. Emerald found her way onto my radar a few years back while attending Jools Holland’s big New Year’s Eve bash…..and this new album is a treat to listen to! It’s mostly just riffin’ and rippin’ good fun — something music is supposed to be to — and perfectly turned by Ms Caro too in a tongue in check Pop mode! It’s the Friday Fresh Outta the Box selection from the Flimwell Papers! Peace y’all….one two three….
Thought I’d change my feature on Wednesday night to promote some of the great pickers of the old guitar music that I love so much! Here’s one of the my all time faourite guitar players who remains a mere memory on the musical pages and mostly as a songwriter but he was one fine player too! This song was one I heard on an all night Jazz show back in the early 70’s and fell in love the play of the strings against the samba feel! Hope you enjoy it too — Baden’s Dad was too much into scouting and hence his name…but you can Google all that while you listen to more of his fine music too! Cheers and peace y’all!
Beck’s Bolero ~ Jeff Beck
From the much underrated and little played these days Truth but is a such a fantastic mix of Blues bending towards what would become Heavy Metal! Jeff is truly on his game here and one of the finest Brit pickers ever! I play this every other birthday as part of my little jam/party especially when folks drop ‘round and they have never heard of any of the older stuff…..blessings to all who sent me good wishes and long may we all continue! Peace and bless y’all!
Salute to all of you on this very glad day being my 64th anniversary on the old Blue Marble!
