Folks, it is a great time to be a Beatles fan. More specifically, it is a great time to be a collector of Beatles memorabilia and those grey market recordings. Historical artifacts such as these seem to keep popping up all over the place. I certainly hope it eventually makes the rounds on the bootleg collecting [...]

Sunny Duets of Sunny

a hazy day today (Free subscription) | 08/08/2008

One of my all time favourite songs is Sunny. There are many versions in existence - Stevie Wonder, Georgie Fame, Bobby Hebb and even James Brown and the Dee Felice Trio as featured on one of my earlier podcasts at some point within the last year.

Peter Asplund Quartet: As Knights Concur

All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 29/06/2008

As I listened to Swedish trumpeter Peter Asplund's quartet on As Knights Concur, I was reminded of another trumpeter somewhat closer to home. Whether consciously or not, Asplund channels Miles Davis' in his "transitional" phase shortly before Davis passed through the esoteric "door of fusion" into the sleep-inducing twilight zone that marked his later years as a jazz icon...

Our collection of quirky or otherwise interesting performances of Sonny (Bobby Hebb) is expanding. The Mexican movie Sin ton ni Sonia is a silly movie. Not as silly as Aaltra . But like Aaltra , it features its own unique version of Sonny ! It's actually called Sonia and it's in Spanish. We were very happy to find it on You Tube! Here is the full version (and a cropped one ), with fragments from the...

DR. JOHN: (1999) Medical School - The Early Sessions of Mac ''Dr. John'' Rebennack

BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 24/05/2008

Dr. John's early work as a producer, sessionman, and songwriter for Ace Records is legendary, not only among fans of Mac Rebennack but among devotees of New Orleans R&B. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to hear this material until Music Club's 1999 release, Medical School: The Early Sessions of Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack. Clocking in at 18 tracks, the disc isn't complete, but it is definitive --...

Steve Cropper’s Beatles connection

Katie's Beer (Free subscription) | 13/02/2008

It was 40 years ago, and the city of Memphis didn't want the band to play. At least that was the official stance the mayor and Board of Commissioners took in a unanimous resolution passed August 10, 1966, to express “official disapproval” and “advised The Beatles that they are not welcome in the City of [...]

Artwork by Colorbunch. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the Cloverfield film that's to be released shortly. Obviously I haven't seen the flick yet, so I can't verify anything. But if you aren't planning on seeing it and are tired of overly-vague commercials, I ran across an illustrated digram of the Cloverfield monster. As [...]
