👨‍🎤 Joe Cocker

I've loved Joe's cover of this Beatles' song for years, but hadn't listened to the full album until this week, & it's magical! Joe covers a couple of Dylan songs, too, to which he does justice, but WALHFMF is definitely the standout track.
YT vid is his Woodstock performance🌻

TieDyeDude Thanks for sharing! I can't help but think of John Belushi's impersonation, but Cocker was such a powerful singer. I didn't realize how prolific he was in his later years. I feel a deep-dive coming on 😋 2w

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude His version of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" on this album is fantastic. Apart from his big hits and the odd TV appearance I don't know his music as well as I think I'd like to. Another one to be on the watch for while I'm rummaging through the second-hand music bins ? 2w

AmyG I just heard this yesterday. He was so good. 1w

Bookwomble @AmyG He's fantastic, isn't he 😊 1w

AmyG I swear, though, every time I hear him I think of John Belushi singing with him. Brilliant. (edited) 1w

#TuesdayTunes

I‘ve been obsessed with this Queen song, which I discovered last week. Brian May sounds amazing on lead locals.

Soundgarden: New Metal Crown | Chris Nickson

#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude

"In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come"

lil1inblue This song is one of my favorites. I can still remember the first time I heard it. 😍 6mo

Bookwomble @lil1inblue It's a great track, isn't it? 😊 6mo

TieDyeDude I listened to a lot of classic rock and country music growing up. This is one of the first rock/alt rock songs that I remember really catching my ear. 6mo

Kerrbearlib @Deblovestoread I‘m listening to No Mermaid now. I‘m three tracks in and already love it! It‘s like a little piece of the 90s I didn‘t know existed ♥️. I‘ll be writing about in soon on Medium, would you like me to give you a shoutout in the article? 7mo

Deblovestoread Not necessary. My brother introduced me to her years ago. I so glad you love it, too! 💙 7mo

Songbird: An Intimate Biography of Christine McVie | Lesley-Ann Jones

pick

The drama, the talent, and the music still have an impact today. Rumors wasn't just an album, it was a once in a generation piece of art. Christine McVie and Fleetwood Mac created music inspired by their joys and pain, creating a pantheon of hits over the decades. Very few groups manage this kind of longevity, and Christine was the one who kept it all together. Can you imagine a world without songs like "Don't Stop" or "You Make Loving Fun"?

Bare | Tony Parsons, George Michael

pick

It took me a while to source this book, and then another while before I actually read it, but But I'm glad I fibally did. It's the only way to get his own words on George Michael. It's interesting, with a few moments of what might be called insight. But written before the real tortured soul became visible to the world. #67-2024
