ukebox header by hilary go ahead click the pic thursday november 17 2011 a canadian band i d sure pay to hear that you ve never heard of ach we ve been long away and the music s just piling up a few years ago my friend mike said i should check out this canuck band blackie the rodeo kings he played me some tracks of theirs and it wasn t just the beer talking they were good i kinda remembered about them when i got home and dl ed a couple of tunes of theirs from napster but you know how it is they got lost in the shuffle so to speak i re discovered them a year or two ago on youtube and featured one of their tunes on my original blog lately i ve found a few new ish ones and i want to give the guys their due blackie the rodeo kings might just be the best that canuck music has to offer right now and canuck music has a ton to offer too bad they only seem to play about twice a year the first video i m going to post here requires patience on your part sorry the sound is poor for 1 45 hang in at that point you ll start to hear in crystal clear tones their first near hit stoned if you really listen you ll hear the birth of an interesting and darn near unique sound spare me the hate mail all you unique can t be modified people as always turn up your speakers and please do up your seat belts the three frontmen are tom wilson guitar and vocals stephen fearing ditto and colin linden lead guitarist vocals producer each adds an elixir to the brew that adds up to magic i had a hard time choosing which vid to show next i decided on a solo stephen fearing job partly because it brought up the name of willie p bennett and partly because it s such a nice song and fearing does a great job and shows he s no slouch in the pickin department bennett s songs inspired the band right down to choosing their name i ll s plain in a minute until then enjoy fearing s take on willie s song and wouldn t nick cage have to play him in a bio pic for their final tune i ve chosen a wonderful song via cbc radio featuring another terrific canuck talent serena ryder black sheep is a standout pure and simple and c mon fess up when shearing starts to sing his part don t you hear echoes of marty robbins i sure as heck did i got shivers now you devoted folks all five of you know that i always stop at three videos i don t like to tax your patience more than that i know how precious time is i hear a clock ticking in every pause but what the heck as a bonus i m adding a track by willie p bennet this is the song from which blackie the rodeo kings took their name those of you who stick around will hear canada s prairies in bennett s song and echoes of jimmie rodgers and boxcar willie 20th century troubadours but he s as canadian as gordon lightfoot is not bob dylan and he blows a lovely mournful harp godbless him mr bennett passed in 2008 thank you for your time i hope you enjoyed thanks mikey and thanks to highorhurtin verbverb skumm60 and cbcradio3 for posting the vids posted by frank baron at 9 30 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday july 23 2011 three great covers sometimes the movie is better than the book and sometimes the cover is better than the original i present three of my favourites as evidence everybody of a certain age was there in 1969 and if they weren t in body they were in spirit i know i was it was woodstock baby arguably the most defining moment of the hippie subculture a generation was turning left en masse tuning in and dropping out and the man was horrified if peace love and dope was the message music was the messenger and woodstock broadcast it to the world of the many memorable performances joe cocker s rendition of the beatles with a little help from my friends stands out his passion rendered him spastic the words weren t sung they were torn from his belly and squeezed through his soul never seen it only seen it 47 times you re all in luck turn up your speakers folks and please as always do up those seat belts no extra charge for the french subtitles they disappear for most of it the next song in my opinion ranks as one of the most astounding vocal performances in popular music spyder turner s mimicry of other singers during his cover of ben e king s stand by me is uncanny but this is no novelty record this is a vocal tour de force by an amazing talent i still get chills at the end when he sings but my name is spyder turner and i ll get on my knees and say darlin don t go although the video consists of a series of static images they re interesting in that they show pics of all the performers turner imitates the sound is good and i deliberately wanted to find the original 45 rpm the final clip was a real treat to find and made my week one of my favourite tunes performed superbly in a live setting not any ordinary live setting nosir we re talking about a clip from the ed sullivan show vanilla fudge recorded a cover of the supremes you keep me hanging on that just might be the most radical departure from an original ever it s psychedelic it s soul it s blues it s amazing drumming by carmine appice it s weird and this performance is absolutely wonderful you ll thank me for reminding you about the seatbelt enjoy apologies to early clickers i d originally posted the wrong cocker clip thanks to gglec78 classic63 and justu95 for the vids posted by frank baron at 3 50 pm 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday june 12 2011 the girl groups part one i was about 11 or 12 years old when it suddenly seemed the radio was chockful of girl groups and i ain t talking about the andrews sisters not that there s anything nosir these gals sang toe tapping finger snapping dare they show it on tv hip shaking songs they sang with gusto in sweet harmony they sang soulfully they rocked i loved them all to this canadian boy the girl groups were exotic beautiful and sexy they brought sass and a new dimension of sensuality to the early days of rock n roll they sang sweetly of true love but by shaking their bootays while doing so there was no mistaking their true love for the hand holding of frankie and annette one can t discuss the girl groups without mentioning phil spector spector produced many of them and was primarily responsible for their room filling booming sound dubbed spector s wall of sound the man by all accounts is batshit crazy a possible probable murderer and a complete putz but he was a musical genius responsible for some absolutely stunning unforgettable songs let s open with the one that woke my virgin ears to the wonders of the girl groups here reminding us that you can pack a lot of great song into two minutes the crystals with da do ron ron as always folks please turn up your speakers and do up your seatbelts and if you re anywhere near my age i think you ll get some nostalgiac enjoyment out of seeing the hairstyles and clothing that were popular back then martha the vandellas brought an element of r b into their tunes here s another great old clip praise youtube of their much covered hit dancing in the streets featuring the crystal clear powerful pipes of the great martha reeves yeah they re lip syncing i don t care it s still great i confessed above that i loved all of the girl groups and that s true but i loved one of them more than the others and that would be the ronettes and i loved the ronettes mostly because of darlene love who fronted the band i first gushed about her last christmas ms love is a wonder and i hope she keeps belting them out for at least a couple more decades in the following clip introduced by chuck berry you ll see and hear a young darlene love bursting with talent and this one ain t lip synched i hope you enjoyed thanks to doowop50s drakep and destinationdoowop for posting the videos posted by frank baron at 10 51 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday may 2 2011 cry guitar cry a year ago i didn t know who gary moore was i knew who garry moore was a tv game show host in the 50s and 60s but not gary i heard about gary moore when i read about his death this past february the small headline said something like blues guitarist dead of suspected heart attack i went on to read about moore being found dead in a spanish hotel room while on holiday turns out he played guitar for irish rockers thin lizzy a band i enjoyed from the 70s intrigued because i love the blues and hadn t heard of him i visited your friend and mine youtube there i learned something else about him he might be the best blues guitarist these ears have ever heard what a revelation he could give sustaining lessons to carlos santana and steve vai would approve of his quicks i m going to open with moore sharing the stage with b b king soooooo many of these superstar jam sessions fall flat this one doesn t it takes a minute for the music to start because moore has to tune up once it does you ll be sorry it has to stop because the licks these guys exchange provide an aural orgasm that was for you cay and q and anyone else who enjoys a naughty pun now and again crank up those speakers boys and girls i don t know if those occasional annoying pop up blurbs i see on the youtube site will translate to here if they do you can close them if you hover your mouse over them to reveal the hidden x next up is the first clip of moore i listened to like the nearly 10 million others who have tuned in i became an instant fan he plays notes with an astounding power and purity and his voice ain t chopped liver the man could do it all on stage here s his still got the blues last but hardly least is a live 1987 performance of empty rooms the youtube uploader refers to it as moore s greatest guitar solo ever i don t know i haven t heard all of them but it is four minutes of absolute genius and serves as a wonderful epitaph for yet another rare talent gone too soon cry guitar cry thanks to jukeiko undeadkuntiz and webmastergarymoorenl for uploading the clips posted by frank baron at 11 27 am 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday march 8 2011 ray dave their kinky crew i think it s safe to say the british invasion of the 60s revitalized rock n roll and kick started it into becoming a world wide musical force one band near the forefront of that invasion demanded to be heard from the first note of its first hit single they out louded the rolling stones and out rocked just about everybody they of course were the kinks fronted by the davies brothers songwriter extraordinaire and lead singer ray along with dave he of the slashing lead guitar here s how the boys introduced themselves to the music scene in 1964 there are easily a dozen songs i d love to include and it s excruciating trimming them down to the usual three but i certainly can t leave out the next one it is arguably the most socially and culturally important song of its generation and inarguably the most audacious probably ever ray turned his lyrical genius to the heretofore forbidden topic of man love and or transvestite love and or transgendered love and he did so with typical puckish humour exhibiting the brit love of naughty double entendres but wait that s not all he also managed to make it one helluva kick ass rock n roll tune one that s remained ensconced in my all time top 10 for over 40 years ladies and gentlemen from a 1979 concert in rhode island the brilliant lola as i mentioned a while back in my stevie winwood post i love it when an artist i admired way back in the long ago and far away is still making music last year at the wonderful annual glastonbury festival ray davies appeared with a few friends and performed victoria one of my fave and underrated kinks songs i hope you enjoy thanks to lovehides13 renaispirits and skipalightfandango for posting the clips posted by frank baron at 11 54

comfortably ensconced in my all time top 10 it was impossible to categorize because it rocked it swayed it boogied it crooned it jazzed and i think it even salsa d a little it was silk degrees by boz scaggs say it with me boz scaggs every guy reading this wishes his name was half as cool if he wasn t a musician he d have to be an old time baseball player maybe mordecai three fingers brown s catcher i ve selected three tunes from that album all written by scaggs i suspect all three will be familiar to old timers and i hope some young ears become attuned to a fine underrated musician let s open with a live version of lido shuffle performed under less than ideal conditions looks pretty darn cold at japan s expo in 1985 if i had a buck for every time this next song was played as the newlywed s first dance at weddings i d have a lotta bucks it s a beautiful song made famous when rita coolidge covered it but i like boz s take on it better he flat out nails it in this next clip the biggest kick i get out of this gig is finding out that musicians i loved way back when are still out there playing their stuff in front of live audiences it s a treat to see a 60 year old boz still stylin still way cool from a performance a few years back thanks to hojiron sk3776 and darylhsu for the vids posted by frank baron at 10 01 pm 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday february 2 2011 who is this british white boy with the soulful voice i think i was 15 or 16 at a friend s party when i first heard this amazing voice come on the radio it soared and dipped and wailed i really couldn t make out the words but it didn t matter the raw emotion and energy it expressed kept me listening rapt i soon found out it belonged to a singer in a band called the spencer davis group a guy only a couple of years older than me named stevie winwood now thanks to the wonders of the internet we can enjoy a live performance by an 18 year old stevie from a scandinavian tv show belting out the vocals and hammering the hammond to the song he co wrote and one of the seminal songs of the 60s somewhere around 1968 winwood hooked up with dave mason jim capaldi and chris wood together they formed traffic one of the most influential and beloved bands of the psychedelic 60s mason who i featured a few posts ago and winwood like many towering talents found they couldn t coexist forever but they stayed together long enough to make a lasting musical mark there are dozens of great traffic songs i m going to go with one of my early favourites co written by winwood and capaldi and expressed via stevie s wistful mournful lament the haunting no face no name no number in his spare time while still with traffic and later after they d officially disbanded winwood became part of one of the early supergroups with eric clapton ginger baker and rick grech they formed bli...
