I reckon that was Cher's as I remember. great music.

 

Correct.  Sonny Bono wrote the song and performed it with Cher on their second album in '66.

 

 

Nancy Sinatra recorded it in '66 as well.  I always favoured her sultry version over Cher's.

Nice story RR, But do you ever suffer from headaches or deafness?

Look, no drums.

 

 

Renowned Cajun fiddler and singer, Dewey Balfa, performing Jai Ete Au Bal in the 70's.  Love Cajun music.

 

 

Italian blues??  Whoddathunk?  Hey, if it's good it's good.

 

 

Here's a band I came across while on a CD buying spree in '97.  At the checkout they were selling sampler CD's for $1 so I figured that it would be hard to lose and picked one up.  Had a couple of cuts on it from a band called Chimera.  Next time I was out hunting for CD's I decided to check to see if the store carried any of Chimera's CD's.  Sure enough so I took a gamble and bought their 1996 Earth Loop CD.  Loved it in it's entirety.  Two months later and I come to find out they were in town doing a gig with the Sneaker Pimps so I took my 16-y.o. daughter and her friend.  Awesome show.  Being from Northern Ireland they reminded me of a bit of the Pretenders.  Unfortunately they never garnered enough popularity and faded away as another obscure Irish band after a few recordings.  A shame as they had talent and potential.  Great vocals.

 

These cuts are from the Earth Loop CD.

 

 

 

 

Great tune from Timber Timbre's 2009 self titled CD.

 

 

I've come to love the Danish duo calling themselves the Raveonettes.  Hard to find anything from their rather extensive repertoire that doesn't fancy me.  The first number reminds me a lot of Beach House.

 

 

 

And thinking of Beach House, I believe it was DB that introduced me to them . . . many thanks, DB.  My son loves them now.

 

 

 

Jake Smith, aka The White Buffalo, from 2010.

 

 

Luke Jordan's 1927 Cocaine Blues done up oh so well by Keith Richards.

 

 

And the original . . . 

 

 

May as well throw in Mississippi John Hurt's version . . . date unknown.

 

 

Bluegrass legend Doc Watson's final performance at the age of 89 a month before he died.  Appropriately titled, "I'll Fly Away."

Haha - story time: when I was in high school in the late 80s I had an after-school job in a local supermarket stacking shelves after the store shut. There were maybe 20 of us working there each night, mostly people I knew from school, and every night the rockers took control of the store tannoy system, so for months and months I had to work while the tannoy blared out Def Leppard's Hysteria on repeat - they seemed to listen to nothing else ever. As a broody teenager who listened to little other than Talking Heads or Leonard Cohen, I hated it. 
 
I first heard the Pixies on Channel 4's indie music show one Saturday morning - they played the below video for Here Comes Your Man - and I was stunned at how good it was. I went out that afternoon to buy the album Doolittle on cassette and then went to the supermarket for my shift. After much pleading with the rockers, I convinced them to let me play my new cassette rather than have to listen to Def Leppard.  As Debaser kicked off then Black Francis started to sing, I can still recall how every head seemed to turn to look at me with a mix of outrage, confusion and disgust. I am not sure we made it to the end of that track before it was switched off and we reverted to the the familiar comfort of Pour Some Sugar On Me. God, how I hate that song.
 
 

As someone who also hates “Pour some sugar on me “ , I couldn’t resist in sharing this obscure video with you !!

I apologise in advance [emoji20]

RIP

Growing up when 60's rock 'n roll was new I never imagined then that I would or could appreciate the above in the distant future.

One of the best concerts of my life was Huw with Hawkwind at Bath University sometime in late 70s, early 80s.

I'm surprised anyone listened to it at all.

Bit of a loner here.    But am I bovvered.

 

La solidad.   [loneliness] very apt.

Delicious Chopin

 

a big hit in Nicaragua in the late 80s...

 

 

 

eternal...

 

tutsi, 16 y.o. 6' and hansum and cheek to cheek on the dance floor in a boite with his 21 y.o. local girlfriend in Cochabamba in 1966...'es un escandalo!'...we burned the place down...

 

later, I was investigated by the 'division policial de menores'...I lit up a fag and blew smoke in their faces...my clothes were better than theirs and I was a good student at colegio...

 

 

and then she got hold of

 

 

and we were making out after I had returned from high school one afternoon with this playing on the box and then she dragged me into her bedroom and I said: 'is this cool?'...she had 3 older brothers any of which could've murdered me with traditional justification if we were discovered...she wasn't worried as she knew their schedules and we had the house to ourselves except for the empleada who wouldn't dare speak a word...

 

it was a lovely old house, over 100 years old and built by her (great?)grandfather in the best part of town...why was all of this happenin' to me?

 

it was just that old time music...

tutsi, ever consider writing dime novels?  You certainly seem to have enough personal experience to draw from.  Could be a very profitable next calling in life, LOL.  I would snap 'em up!

 

Ah, sentimental journeys.
