Tuesday Time Machine ~ 1963 The Beatles ~ Please Please Me ( Full Album )

I will always love the earlier music from The Beatles.

The songs from this album when heard still breaks out the chills simply because I remember them as clearly today as when all of 6 years-old I heard them first.

Etta James Broke Down the Barriers and Won.

Sunday Sabotage ~ Serves You Right To Suffer ~ J Geils Band

Written by John Lee Hooker
Recorded April 21-April 22, 1972 at The Cinderella Ballroom – Detroit, Mi.

Released off the “Full House” album in 1972

Boston Band adopts Detroit and Vise/Versa

Tuesday Taste ~ Rock Candy ~ Montrose

Written by all four members of the band.
Released off their first and self titled album in 1973.

Sammy Hagar – lead vocals
Ronnie Montrose – guitar
Bill Church – bass
Denny Carmassi – drums

Along with “Rock Candy”, I liked “Make it Last” as equally from this debut album. In fact I didn’t think anything that followed matched these works. But only my opinion.

Wednesday When It Was Music ~ “Downtown” ~ Petula Clark

I cannot listen today what the record companies call music anymore when it’s anything but. In fact I haven’t been able to listen to it for years. From this trash called Rap and these so-called singers of the last 20 years who all sound alike. With some sort of blocked nasal cavity sound. People who can sing do so, they let it all out with every dynamic of their vocal chords.

What we heard when I was coming up in the sixties was precision. Total precise lyrics, the singers total capabilities, the arrangement of all the music, every lead, background, harmony, instrument played down to every single break, beat, chord, horn section, strings. Everything combined and composed and it all came out like a masterpiece.

You can hear it all with this song released in 1964 by Petula Clark.

Saturday Soul Check ~ Roy Brown ~ Hard Luck

Hard Luck Blues was Roy Brown’s biggest seller in 1950 but it wasn’t his first song he wrote or recorded.

Roy Brown & His Mighty Mighty Men with The Griffin Brothers.

Friday Feeling ~ Sittin’ And Cryin’ The Blues ~ Willie Dixon

Written by Willie Dixon
Released off his first album, “Willie’s Blues” in 1959.
Label; Prestige Bluesville : BVLP-1003

Willie Dixon – double bass, vocals
Memphis Slim – piano
Gus Johnson – drums
Wally Richardson – guitar
Harold Ashby – tenor saxophone

From the man who gave us “Little Red Rooster”, “Hoochie Coochie Man”, “Evil”, “Spoonful”, “Back Door Man”, “I Just Want to Make Love to You”, “I Ain’t Superstitious”, “My Babe”, “Wang Dang Doodle”, and “Bring It On Home”.

And this was just a mere taste of this Chicago Blues Founder.
