Music And All Things BrookJersey (Moran)

I have posted him before but just one of the most versatile and one of my favorite musicians interpreting Dylan.



And a video cover that just hit me the right way from the band formerly known as Dexy’s Midnight Runners. First those interested, watch until the end, there is a nice tidbit of music attached to the credits

Warren Zevon being inducted into the RnR HoF, introduced by David Lettermen, good friend of his.

Long overdue.

Yeah I almost considered buying tickets to the show until I saw the prices. There's also a Zevon tribute concert here tonight headlined by Jackson Browne, Jorge Calderon (frequent collaborator), Leland Sklar, Dwight Yoakam, Shooter Jennings, Fountains of Wayne, Marshall Crenshaw, Warren's son, John Wesley Harding, my old friend Dennis Dikken of Smithereens, and a bunch of others, but I have a conflict.

Re the Alvin post he plays around here a bit still. He came out with Phil to join X at my first post COVID concert. Phil's Blasters opened for them and Los Lobos.

Bruce made the right call 43 years ago.

"Electric Nebraska" is amazing to hear for completists like myself. But it doesn't have the raw power of "Nebraska." Nothing really does.

This is still an incredible cut:

I saw The Blasters at My Father's Place in Roslyn in 1982. My friends and I were the first ones on line and we were reading Newsday waiting to get in and the Blasters arrived and we showed them the Dave Marsh penned article about them. Great show........my favorite by far is "Marie Marie"
 
The Tremeloes were a fine band, part of the lower echelon of bands who were part of the British Invasion. Here are their two primary charting songs done live. They also hold a special place in music history, especially concerning Decca Revords.

Good one! I had kind of forgotten these guys. The first one (Silence is Golden) is very reminiscent of the Four Seasons.

The second video always struck me funny, the song is about running into a girl of lost love but the band sings it with such joy.
Anyway, the Decca story is that they, known as Brian Poole and The Tremeloes at the time, auditioned at Decca along with The Beatles with only one to be selected to record. Decca picked The Tremeloes and the rest is history. Poole by the way, had gone out on his own when the band recorded these.

Good one right back at you because I was intrigued by your Four Seasons comment and did a bit of digging (which obviously is not really digging with the Internet).
“Silence Is Golden” was written by Bob Crewe, who produced the bulk of The Four Seasons work and Bob Gaudio who was in the band and they first recorded it as the B side to “Rag Doll”,
That is a great catch!!

As soon as I heard it I thought of Frankie Vallis voice and the Four Seasons sound. Ironic it was the B side of Rag Doll which is one of my all time Four Seasons favorites. I have this memory of being in Bowne Park, Flushing with my buddies the summer after 6th grade and this park hangout legend at the time named Mikie Milo having Rag Doll on his transistor radio and snapping his fingers and singing along. The sound of Silence is Golden very reminiscent of Rag Doll which is undoubtedly why it hit me that way.

Had never heard of him until watching the movie Blaze directed by Ethan Hawke. It's very good.

I only knew of him because of the song I really like that I thought John Prine wrote (but didn't it was a Blaze Foley song), Clay Pigeons.

John Prine did write this other song, I like, much as I did Clay Pigeons, called Unwed Fathers, it is an interesting take on the topic.......

Depends on my mood, but I sometimes prefer the Tremeloes' version of "Here Comes My Baby" because of its party-like atmosphere. I also like Cat Stevens' original because it is, after all, a pretty somber song.

But I will always love it for this scene in "Rushmore."

 
I have no idea why these three songs are linked in my very fried brain but they somehow are. I guess it’s because of the “live” or “lively” sound that they all convey, at least for me.
