today some more searching about Matteo.

He has a site https://www.matteomancuso.net/

On you tube found his album, as youtube isnt that search friendly anymore, you have to know more to find.

So came upon his album, through his site, just released this year.

Great cover of that classic song.  There's Glenn Campbell's cover, released the same year as the original.  By May 1968, an estimated 50 artists had recorded covers of "Gentle on my Mind", while Campbell's recording had sold 600,000 singles.  As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

"Gentle on My Mind" is a song that was written and originally recorded by John Hartford, and released on his second studio album, Earthwords & Music (1967). Hartford composed the song after watching Doctor Zhivago in 1966, as he was inspired by the film and his own personal experiences. The lyrics describe the reminiscences of lost love of a man as he travels through the country. The following year, Hartford released the song as a single on RCA Records.

Here's the John Hartford '67 original.

Credit where credit is due.  Wasn't there supposed to be a centerfold along with that poll?    Perhaps in days of yore.

That is the nicest thing about youtube, you are introduced to many unknown artists. 

I put some of them in here. They werent that lucky to be big, but show they do incredible performances.

Also dont care how they make their music or with what, as long as it has a good music value.

Ok, introducing a new one. I only knew them (think they split up, was 2 man band) as the guy bought my fathers guitar.

SO we had a talk and he mentioned bands name, so checked it out.

Sensational Alex Harvey - Delilah 

 

I take a pass on most - not all - of his glam rock phase.  But boy does he shine in his early blues years.

Alex Harvey and His Soul Band covering Willie Dixon's '54 blues standard Hoochie Coochie Man.  Not on the Soul Band's original '64 album but included on the German '99 re-release.

There's a very interesting and unique guitar solo in this tune.

 

 

Their cover of Lonnie Johnson's Backwater Blues, however, was on that '64 LP.
 

 

Harvey also released a solo blues album later in '64 titled The Blues.  On this album one can find his remarkable cover of the old negro blues standard St. James Infirmary Blues.

 

 

 

Alvin Lee & Ten Years After covering Willie Dixon's Spoonful live on French TV on 21 January '68.
 

 

Original Jethro Tull ex-lead guitarist Mick Abrahams with Blodwyn Pig with an alternate version of Dear Jill.  Originally off of their '69 Ahead Rings Out debut LP but this version is off their 2001 All Said And Done double CD.
 

 

Douglas Fir with the title track of their '70 one and only LP, Hard Heartsingin'.
 

 

It's A Beautiful Day performing White Bird live at Tanglewood in Lenox, MA on July 7, '70.

 

 

Mountain performing Nantucket Sleighride live off of their '72 Mountain Live: The Road Goes Ever On album.

Noticed that myself, and agree, well done.

 

Bowie was well known for being a bit tight with the money.  Reading SRV autobiography (?), and an excerpt about Bowie offering him a ridiculously low per show fee to tour with him.  He could make more money in a roadhouse bar by himself.

Bowie didn't attend the funeral of his guitarist, Mick Ronson, from his Ziggy Stardust days. Some blamed him for that.

 

Today a teen with a laptop, free software, an average audio-midi interface, a cheap keyboard and budget speakers can make a hit.
