The Mothers Of Invention with Trouble Every Day off of their '66 Freak Out! debut.  Set to some discombobulated video flashes.  Had I been watching this back then I might of put the video effects off to myself.

Feeling down and out?  A bit under the weather?  Is it another blue day, matie?  Well, here's an otic elixir guaranteed to get you back in the groove with plenty of swing and added step in everything you do today.  Or yer money back.  Sadly, If this doesn't help then maybe it's just time to call the undertaker.

 

bannork,  this'll make your plants, trees and bushes sprout like crazy.  You're animals'll be swinging and rollicking in the barnyard.  Good time to break open a bottle of Leo, mate, and grab the wifey for a romp.  :biggrin:

The Bep Brown Orchestra with Elmore James boppin' with the Round House Boogie, aka the Sax Symphonic Boogie.  Recorded sometime between '54 and '56.  This tune has 'good times' written all over it - in boldface, italicised, and underscored to boot.

Nice version, jvs.  Thanks.  She's certainly got the right voice to fit the song.

I hate to bring out a negative but gawddam, I think it's a shame that so many women these days defile their beautiful bodies with tattoos which, for the most part in my humble opinion, aren't even that artistic.  I know.  To each their own.  But they don't accent a woman's beauty for me.  Turns me off.

Yes she has a fantastic voice,Janis Joplin reborn like.

If you have a few minutes please look up Beth's life story,she has come from under a rock

but she is still here.

Her music is awesome,sometimes i think true talent like this only comes thru suffering.

Just added to my collection Chicken Shack's I'd Rather Go Live show at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis during the summer of 2004.  What's posted is the playlist so if you have the time the full set is worth listening to.  Begins with You Tell Me.  Good to see Stan is still going strong.

Too bad this playlist is audio only.  Watching him is so much better.

Some well known names and otherwise local talent.  It's all good.  Memphis '69: The 1969 Memphis Country Blues Festival full documentary.
 

I'm beginning the video during the start of a very humourous announcement of an unfortunate 'event', LOL  Rewind to the beginning if this excellent video interests you.  Classic.  :clap2:

Certainly is a wonderful rendition of the song and I much prefer it to the softer strains of Christine Perfect's voice.

 

In the Christine Perfect rendition you can recognise the voice that later became even more famous with Fleetwood Mac, and when she married John McVie, later to divorce.

On another website, someone posted the original rendition of Don't walk away Renee, which I always liked until I heard the same song by Jimmy Lafave on his Austin Skyline album, which was different but truly magnificent, IMO.

Nice cover.  The '66 Left Banke version remains my favourite, though.  Perhaps it's due to the associated memories of an up-to-then blissful and sheltered life for me.

Some excellent guitar work and drumming on the Kraut highly progressive band Can's Mother Sky.  Off of their '70 Soundtracks LP.
 

 

Future Days, a wonderful track, such a groove running through the entire song.

Brenda Holloway, a much neglected Tamla Motown act in the 1960s.  As shown in the second video, still working in the 21st century.

Motown in the 60's was a golden, limitless source of fine music.

Here's another lady who has the Perfect (excuse the pun) voice for this song.  Granted, it's not quite the soft strains of Perfect's voice, as xylophone accurately describes it, but softer than Beth's.

Koko Taylor from her '81 From The Heart Of A Woman album.
 

 

I'll throw in her excellent live version from a Chicago concert in '87 just to add some more variety.  I look at it as eating pigs in a blanket with pickles and pigs in a blanket without pickles and pigs in a blanket with carrots.  O.K., terrible analogy.  But you get the drift.  While they're all different they're all extremely tasty.

Dave Van Ronk with one of my favourite blues standards, St. James Infirmary (Gambler's Blues), recorded live at The Barns At Wolf Trap in '97.

Yeah, this is from '97 but both Van Ronk and the song are from our era and earlier.  I'm not opposed to posting artists from the 60's and earlier thru the 80's who continue to release material after 1990.  What's the consensus on that?

The Men They Couldn't Hang with Green Fields Of France (No Man's Land) off of their '85 Night Of A Thousand Candles album.
