Tippers is back! I wondered what happened to you, guess you got bored, or went back to the States to get vaccinated,or got arrested on Jan 6th at the Capitol. ( banter).

Whatever, great to see you back again. As you can see we have a few new regular contributors keeping the show on the road.

Stalingrad's moniker puzzles me. Was he born in 42 or 43, is he Russian, anti German or does he just like cold winters?

Happy Birthday to John York.

The Monkees with Randy Scouse Git off of their '67 Headquarters LP.

 

 

I couldn't believe this song's title till I read up about Mickey Dolenz in London watching Alf Garnett on TV complaining about his son-in-law.

Here's a randy Scouse musical genius

Dolenz was a party animal.  The history behind the music is fascinating.  Per Wiki:

"Randy Scouse Git" is a song written by Micky Dolenz in 1967 and recorded by The Monkees. It was the first song written by Dolenz to be commercially released, and it became a number 2 hit in the UK where it was retitled "Alternate Title" after the record company (RCA) complained that the original title was actually somewhat "taboo to the British audience".

"Alternate Title"  55555555555555555555

Circle Sky off of their '68 Head LP.

imo the best track on Sgt Peppers after A Day in the Life

 

Rustles up images of the Hippie Trail.  I'd have to agree with you, bannork.  Best song off of that LP.

Besame Mucho does it for Mexico.  Recorded on 1 Jan. '62 as an audition for Decca Records.  Incredible talent displayed so early on in their career.

There are many acoustic versions of Cocaine going back 100 years but I love Keef's version the most.

He got the rhythm just right.

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you, bannork.  Richards' version will be a classic for the ages.
 

"Cocaine Blues" is actually a Western swing song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall, a reworking of the traditional song "Little Sadie".

Per Wiki:
 

The song is the tale of a man, Willy Lee, who murders his unfaithful girlfriend while under the influence of whiskey and cocaine. He flees to Mexico and works as a musician to fund his continued drug use. Willy is apprehended by a sheriff from Jericho Hill, tried, and promptly sentenced to "ninety-nine years in the Folsom Pen". The song ends with Willy imploring the listener:

 

     Come on you gotta hype listen unto me,
     lay off that whiskey, and let that cocaine be.

Seeing as how the song's character ends up in Folsom 'Pen' then it's only fitting to post Johnny Cash's version off of his Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA - January 1968 album.

Different approaches to a classic

 

Corinna, Corinna has got to be one of the most covered songs ever.  Steppenwolf's is one of my favourites.  A long while back I posted probably a dozen versions back to back.

This is the version by The Rising Sons, featuring Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder, recorded in '66 before they broke up.

". . . or got arrested on Jan 6th at the Capitol."  Now that made me spit my drink, LOL.  They haven't caught me yet, LOL.  They probably have my pic but I'm sporting a mustache disguise now.

I'll never get vaccinated.  This scam is about to blow wide open.  Time will eventually reveal the truth.

Enjoy!  LOL

A twofer . . . Hank Thompson with The Wild Side Of Life recorded in '51  & Kitty Wells with It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels recorded in '52.

Best listened to while layin' on a bale of hay with a piece of straw stuck in yer teeth.  A cowgirl in yer arms would about round it out.

Amazing , I had no idea they covered a Mexican's song.

Love the guitar sound on this.

A Mexican theme to go along with this morning's Mexican chicken taco breakfast?  Sounds as tasty as it looks.

Authentic Mexican cheese, avocados, jalapeño peppers, tomato, onions, grilled chicken and a few dollops of sour cream (this Thai brand is as authentic as any sour cream found in the States).  Along with some not-so-authentic red bell peppers and olives.  All wrapped up in a lightly fried flour tortilla.  Just as one would imagine being all wrapped up in the arms and legs of a beautiful Mexican señorita.

Down below El Paso lies Juarez
Mexico is different, like the travel folder says
Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
An old adobe house
Where you leave your past behind

Ry Cooder ‎with Mexican Divorce off of his '74  Paradise And Lunch LP.

Grateful Dead performing Me And My Uncle live at Fillmore East on April 29, '71.  Off of their second live album, self-titled, released in '71.

One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw
Shot me another, oh damn he won't grow old
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico

In case I didn't mention it already: That was the first song I ever downloaded on Napster. Obviously audio only and probably it took hours...

P.S.: Ok, in the hindsight I should have selected something better for my first download ever. 20/20...
