I love this period of Johnny’s career. It made me so happy because there was so much bull in my youth. It was thrilling and reassuring to see Johnny and Willie and folks turning to such non-traditional masterpieces.

God is good.

New Riders of the Purple Sage – Panama Red

Darryl Hushaw
Published on Oct 11, 2012

Off the 1973 album The Adventures of Panama Red.

Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He comes breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red

The judge don’t know when Red’s in town
He keeps well hidden underground
But everybody’s acting lazy
Falling out and hangin’ ’round

My woman said, “Hey Pedro you’re actin’ crazy like a clown”
Nobody feels like working
Panama Red is back in town

Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He comes breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red

Everybody’s looking out for him
‘Cause they know Red satisfies
Little girls love to listen to him
Sing and tell sweet lies

But when things get too confusing, honey
You’re better off in bed
And I’ll be searching all the joints in town
for Panama Red

Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He comes breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red

Ohhh the best of the best! As awesome today as it was 45 years ago.

Forty-five years? Madre Dios…!

Grateful Dead – Truckin’

Grateful Dead – Truckin’
Garcia; Lesh; Weir; Hunter

Lyrics:

Truckin got my chips cashed in. keep truckin, like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on main street.
Chicago, new york, detroit and its all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Dallas, got a soft machine; houston, too close to new orleans;
New yorks got the ways and means; but just wont let you be, oh no.

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
Most of the time theyre sittin and cryin at home.
One of these days they know they better get goin
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

Truckin, like the do-dah man. once told me youve got to play your hand
Sometimes your cards aint worth a dime, if you dont layem down,

Sometimes the lights all shinin on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.

What in the world ever became of sweet jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isnt the same
Livin on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is aint it a shame?

Truckin, up to buffalo. been thinkin, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin on.

Sittin and starin out of the hotel window.
Got a tip theyre gonna kick the door in again
Id like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess youre gonna come in.

Busted, down on bourbon street, set up, like a bowlin pin.
Knocked down, it gets to wearin thin. they just wont let you be, oh no.

Youre sick of hangin around and youd like to travel;
Get tired of travelin and you want to settle down.
I guess they cant revoke your soul for tryin,
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.

Sometimes the lights all shinin on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.

Truckin, Im a goin home. whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin on.
Hey now get back truckin home.

The classic, iconic masterpiece.

Enjoy : )

She’s moved upstairs. Nice write up with her background history at Ultimate Classic Rock.

Aretha Franklin, the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has died according to the Associated Press. The cause of death was advanced pancreatic cancer. She was 76.

A canny ability to blend soaring gospel and soul-deep R&B, city attitude with country values, gritty feminism and stark emotion transformed Franklin into a towering figure in popular music. “No one can copy her,” Jerry Wexler, Franklin’s legacy-defining Atlantic Records producer, memorably argued. “She’s all alone in her greatness.”

Andrew Sisters – Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (V-Disc 1941)

Zemorg
Published on Jan 7, 2016

A very youthful looking Andrews Sisters performing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy V-disc for U.S. military overseas personnel, WWII era. Circa 1941. Their casual appearance makes them look quite attractive by today’s standards. Particularly Maxene (on the right) with her hair up. Alas most of their career they had heavily permed 40’s hairstyles of the day, not unattractive by any stretch, but reminded me a bit too much of my grandmother.

Oh do I adore these three ladies… from a tiny baby boy right up to now as a decrepit old phart.

They were and remain, in a word — perfect.

Canned Heat – Going Up The Country

Canned Heat – Going Up The Country

Lyrics:

I’m going up the country, baby don’t you wanna go
I’m going up the country, baby don’t you wanna go
I’m going to some place where I’ve never been before

I’m going, I’m going where the water tastes like wine
I’m going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I’m gonna leave this city, got to get away
I’m gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can’t stay

Now, Baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we got to leave today
Just exactly where we going I can not say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
‘Cause it’s a brand new game, and I don’t want to play

No use of you running or screaming and crying
‘Cause you got a home as long as I’ve got mine

Truly wonderful and truly a classic. It neatly said what so many of us were thinking. And in many ways still are…

Canned Heat – Let’s Work Together

Die komplette Beat Club-Folge mit diesem Auftritt im iTunes Store erhältlich! https://itunes.apple.com/de/tv-season… Canned Heat mit ihrer Wilbert Harrison Coverversion “Let’s Work Together” live im Beat Club am 30.01.1970! Der Song stammt von dem Album “Future Blues” und wurde in Europa als Single zur Begleitung der damaligen Tournee veröffentlicht. Er entwickelte sich zum einzigen von Bob “The Bear” Hite gesungenen Top Ten-Hit der Band. Gleichzeitig ist dies einer der letzten Liveauftritte mit Gitarrist/ Sänger Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson, der am 03.09.1970 an einer Überdosis Tabletten starb.

Another great live performance by Canned Heat at the Beat Club. This time on their European tour 1970. The song is taken from the album “Future Blues”, released as a single in Europe and the only Top Ten-Hit for a Canned Heat title sang by Bob “The Bear” Hite. It’s also one of the last performances with Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson who died a few months later of a tablet overdose at age 27.

Oh, man, those were the days… the days when we thought we could fix all the evil in the world. We found out different, but damn, we had some marvelous minstrels.

It was heartbreaking learning this morning that this magical, magnificent woman is gravely ill and not expected to make it much longer. Thank God she is surrounded by her family and friends.

She is a Hero of Heroes and has inspired so many, myself included. Oh, Lord, another treasure is moving upstairs. Thank God we will always have her art to comfort us and make us happy.

Love You, Dear Heart!

SONG FACTS: A native of Cameroon, Manu Dibango has enjoyed a long career as a musician and songwriter, developing a fusion of Jazz and African musical styles. This song which was released in 1972, came early in Dibango’s career, and was introduced to American listeners by the legendary New York City radio DJ Frankie Crocker on FM’s WBLS radio station.

This song made the US Top 40 only briefly, but later became notable for 2 reasons. The first is its refrain, “Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-kossa,” which Michael Jackson borrowed for his 1983 hit “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” but without Dibango’s permission. Dibango eventually reached an out-of-court settlement with Jackson over the lyrics. The second reason is the genré, and the pop culture phenomenon, that the song set in motion.

“Soul Makossa” was so popular as a dance song that its style began to be emulated and further developed by American dance musicians – and eventually took on a life of its own. As a result, this is now widely regarded as the first Disco record.

This video is for entertainment only, and great for exercise dancing. The dance sequences in this video are the property of others on youtube which I downloaded in order to create more entertainment for this fabulous song instead of just an album cover.
