Sunday is almost too easy.

Fuck it. This is for Davy Jones.

Monday....

Monday covered ...

[camus]

Hip parade - Hip Priest

[Nash]

Good track Kris.

Literary band names?

[Select Samaritan]

Okay. Savage Garden. Nicked from Anne Rice.

[Antcliff]

Soft Machine...from William Burroughs. And their drummer was the great Robert Wyatt...

[camus]

Steely Dan. A solid character from William Burroughs novel "Naked Lunch"

[camus]

The Doors, a double whammy - ‘If the doors of perception were cleansed, All things would appear … infinite’ – Blake then a book-title by Aldous Huxley.

[Wilcken]

This is a brazen opening move on my part, I'm sure.

Playing off the double whammy comment and oh, so much more.



(I just found this thread and looked and listened my way through all six pages. Joy.
Camus, I think your thread was calling me to break on through from the other side of the Atlantic...)

And the drummer is a prop.

[Wilcken]

This being one of those many other reasons.

Wham had a UK #1 with Freedom; I prefer this version:

[camus]

Jimi played left-handed so did Kurt:

[Wilcken]

Such an awesome cover song.

This is BIlly Roberts, the guy* who wrote Hey Joe, performed by others before Hendrix made it great.



* there was apparently some controversy about authorship back in the day.

[camus]

Great original there.

From one Billy to another, a reet tear jerker.

[Wilcken]

Oh now that is a song.

And the same recording I own, performed at Mountain Stage back in the 90s. A great album, matter of fact. I love the bit at the end about his environmentally sound guitar solo. And that was 20 years ago. He's always been several steps ahead of the rest.

This next one connects back to cover songs, if you will, Woody's work finished by Billy and Wilco.
Also one of those things, the relationship between a man and his horse.




To the rich man´s bright lodges I ride in this wind
On my good horse I call you my shiny Black Bess
To the playhouse of fortune
to take the bright silver
An gold you have taken from somebody else

And as we go riding in the damp foggy midnight
You snort, my good pony, and you give me your best
For you know, and I know, good horse
´mongst the rich ones
How oftimes we go there an unwelcome guest

I´ve never took food from the widows and orphans
And never a hard working man I oppressed
So take your pace easy,
for home soon like lightening
We soon will be riding, my shiny Black Bess

No fat rich man´s pony can ever overtake you
And there´s not a rider from the east to the west
Could hold you a light
in this dark mist and midnight
When the potbellied thieves
chase their unwelcome guest

I don´t know good horse,
As we trot in this dark here
That robbing the rich is for worse or for best
They take it by stealing and lying and gambling
And I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess

I treat horses good and I´m friendly to strangers
I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best
And the rangers and deputies
are hired by the rich man
To catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess

Yes, they´ll catch me napping one day
and they´ll kill me
And then I´ll be gone but that won´t be my end
For my guns and my saddle will always be filled
By unwelcome travellers and other brave men

And they´ll take the money and spread it out equal
Just like the Bible and the prophets suggest
But the man that go riding to help these poor workers
The rich will cut down like an unwelcome guest
