Blast from the Past - 60's, 70's, 80's,90's Music (2023)

[Tippaporn]

Jessi Coulter, the Lady among the Outlaws, with I Was Kinda Crazy Then.  Off of the same '78 That's The Way A Cowboy Rocks And Rolls LP.  It's a tune that's reminiscent of Emmylou Harris.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Canadian artist Jesse Winchester with the lovely Yankee Lady.  Hauntingly wonderful lyrics that seem to bring back memories I've forgotten.  Off of his '70 self-titled debut LP.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Jesse Winchester with The  Brand New Tennessee Waltz, co-written with Robbie Robertson.  Also off of his '70 debut album.  Tennessee is a beautiful state, especially during the autumn when it's stunningly vibrant with orange, red and yellow foliage everywhere you look.   Birth home of President Andrew Jackson, who heroically killed America's second evil central bank.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Woody Guthrie with This Land is Your Land, recorded in '44.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Leonard Cohen with Suzanne off of his '88 self-titled album.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Bob Dylan performing Blowing In The Wind live on TV in March '63.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Pete Seeger performing Goodnight Irene as a sing-a-long live in Australia in the early 60's.  Smoking was still allowed, even with kiddies in the audience.  Ah, the good old days.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Judy Collins and chorus with Amazing Grace recorded in '70.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Peter, Paul & Mary with 500 Miles off of their '62 self-tilted debut album.  This was part of our repertoire in music class during my middle school years.  Imagine that . . . music class for 12~14 year olds.  Nowadays?  Nah, I won't go there. 
 

 

[Tippaporn]

More great Americana music from Tipper's Wholesome Hour . . .

 

The Carter Family performing Wildwood Flower at the Grand Ole Opry.  My memories are more than a bit sparse during the late 50's.  But one thing I do remember from back then is learning to whistle.   

 

 

[Tippaporn]

The traditional American folk song "In the Pines", also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?", "My Girl", "Hey Girl", and "Black Girl."  This rendition recorded by Huddie William Ledbetter, aka Lead Belly, sometime in the '40s.  With this we will conclude Tippers Wholesome Hour.

 i know this song in version of Bobby Bare, but he has another lyric! Melody the same.

 

Another nice cover is this, totally different way

Scrapper Blackwell with a cover of Jimmie Cox's '23 Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out.  Off of his '62 Mr. Scrapper's Blues album.

Excellent versions, xtrnuno41.    The Hooters' cover has, as you say, a totally different but uniquely wonderful arrangement.

Mississippi John Hurt performing live on Pete Seeger’s Rainbow Quest show a few months before his death in November '66.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

Gary B.B. Coleman with Elmore James' '59 The Sky is Crying off of his '92 Too Much Weekend album.

John Lee Hooker performing Boom Boom at a gig in France in '69.

Hooker on guitar and vocals, Sunnyland Slim on piano, Willie Dixon playing bass; Johnny Shines on guitar, and Clifton James on drums.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Robert Johnson with Kind Hearted Woman Blues recorded in '36.  This Song contains the only guitar solo Robert Johnson ever recorded. I very good example for his amazing talent. He plays rhythm and lead guitar on one instrument and at the same time.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Texas Songster Mance Lipscomb (1895-1976) plays and sings his rendition of this blues standard, Black Water Blues, written and introduced by Bessie Smith in 1927 and subsequently performed by countless others. While some live recordings of Mance's take on it have surfaced online, this recording—which originated from Mance's first field recording sessions with Chris Strachwitz and Mack McCormick at his home in Navasota, Texas, on August 13, 1960—was published only on Arhoolie's 1961 anthology 'Blues 'n Trouble' (Arhoolie F1006) and appears to be one of Mance's few Arhoolie recordings never reissued in digital format.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Sonny Boy Williamson II performing Keep It To Your Self live at one of the 60's British Tours by American blues artists.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

T-Bone Walker performing the Aaron Walker tunes Woman, You Must Be Crazy and Goin' To Chicago Blues on Norman Granz's Jazz At The Philharmonic at Poplar Town Hall, UK on 30 Nov. '66.

 

With Dizzy Gillespie, Teddy Wilson, Louis Bellson, Clark Terry, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Jimmy Moody, Benny Carter and Bob Cranshaw.

This concludes the Tipper's Blues Hour and today's broadcast.

Playing For Change puts out some awesome music.  That must have taken a lot of work to arrange that song given all of the various artists.  An crack up effort.

 

Ben E. King among many others playing his '61 hit classic Stand By Me in Caritiba, Brazil in October 2014, shortly before Ben E. King's death on April 30, 2015.

Talking about downers but actually a shin kicking song imo

Randy California, when he was with Spirit, recorded I Got A Line On You, found on their '68 The Family That Plays Together album.  He was quite an accomplished guitarist and had Jimi Hendrix' respect.

 

Unlike so many rock stars who died young due to drugs California drowned in the Pacific Ocean in '97 at the age of 45 while rescuing his 12-year-old son, Quinn, from a rip current near his mother's home at Molokai, Hawaii.  He managed to push Quinn (who survived) toward the shore.  Randy went straight to Heaven and was saluted as he walked through the Pearly Gates.

Listen to this in a hammock or on a beach in a deckchair.

Feel at one with the world, yes sir!

The closest thing to a beach you'll find, bannork, is the banks of the Mekong River, LOL.  You'll have to settle for the hammock on your farm. 

Great tune, BTW.  Hadn't heard that before.

Well what about George Benson, amazing guitar player.

You see him in interviews, demonstrations, he is playing with ONLY his thumb!

Doing solo, accords all together .

Tried to find a song from him, which shows, but then he mostly is playing with a pick.

 A known number is this one, though he has numbers where his guitar is way more speaking.

 

This one then, well had a great hit with "persuader", but put this one in.

 

No further introduction, old number, 2016

IM still on youtube had to place this , you should see this guitar player.

Michael Angelo Batio

Metal player, with a degree in music! Fastest player in the world.

See how he is doing 2 solo's at the same time on the guitar, by just pulling and hammering. Yes it is metal/rock (I also do love), but it is amazing.

Even Herman Li from Dragonforce is impressed.

 

Who is Dragonforce?! Quite a speedy band with Mario bro sounds on guitar.

 

Steve Vai also stil going strong, see play him this creation.
