I’m a year late to him, but this guy is brilliant.
Looked like he would have had a promising music career but illness knocked him out for a while.
He can cover so many genres and is a lyrical genius.
For those who like rabbits, do yourself a favour and go down this hole.
For those voices inside your head…
Smoother than your shaved butt…
Rainy day. In the shed. Dark ale. Not caring about football in the slightest. Dr John The Night Tripper pumping. Great record from 68.
Mrs Fox and I went to one of our Grand daughters 10 th Birthday today and friends played a little music. The two blokes were fantastic and then I found they were the Teskey brothers, who I had never heard of.
Probably famous somewhere but they were seriously very good. This is a YouTube of one of the songs they sang
Not sure if theres to many blues fans here, but Mississippi Fred Mcdowells record ‘I Do Not Play No Rock n Roll’ from 1969 is great record. Even if the title is a double negative…dont let it confuse you, its fantastic… I can confirm he does not in fact, at any stage, not play no Rock and Roll.
Ive been in the shed for a fair chunk of the day and my time here is coming to an end. Had Mrs Doggatron and the girls down here for a few hours but they’re back in the house now. Nearly dinner time
This has been a great record to end the day on.
Wim really needs to go to bed after an overnight, and I am well into every song is the best song ever territory.
But god I love this song.
There’s something vaguely fifties, vaguely nineties, vaguely timeless about it.
I dig the drone.
I dig…the restrained euphoria. The…uplifting catchy chorus that is…held back.
The vocal…deadpan, but…also unleashed…
Really, really dig this track. In a way that I love pre-millennium songs.
It’s chipper, it’s tragic, it’s…rock ‘n’ roll in structure, it’s not in delivery?
It’s relaxing.
It’s tense.
Anyway.
Big fan.
A little paint by numbers…but they do it well.
This little gem just popped up on my youtube feed.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed a “new” album as much as this.
@Doggatron …you’ve probably already heard it…but if not…
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - Wake Up Call (from 1993)
It’s really good. Are they Scottish by any chance? (I’ll go find out) The bands they seem to channel in this song to me are all Scottish (Glasvegas, Frightened Rabbit, JAMC).
They sound it.
I have Blonde DJ to thank for it, not because anyone played it (although I may have entered it myself later???) but for the weird algorithms it puts me on and drags me out of my lane.
Just one of those tracks that came from nowhere and became a favourite.
I know I’ve heard but not sure when or where.
Also, for me, it was a grower.
Went from this is a decent song, to…nah, this is a really good song, to…as I’ll eventually do to all songs that grow on me…making me sit down and go ‘wait, what’s going on here?’
I played a Vaccines track (Teenage Icon, which I love…) and got it through. Can’t say I know a huge amount of their output though…
Then it was probably you.
So, thanks.
Pointer Sisters from 75 when they were just soooo good.
Been listening to a FNM playlist.
What an epic band (see what I did there… heh heh…) they are/were!
Nice little crib from Simon and Garfunkel’s Cecilia at the start of this…
