Mine is: "Is Your Love In Vain" by Bob Dylan "Street Legal" (1978).Continue
Started this discussion. Last reply by Gena Chereck on Saturday.
Back in my days of playin' music, in the 1980s, we called guys like Hank 3 "Cowpunk." That was considered a cool title too. Basically I think Hank 3 is a riot and a chip off of ol' grandpa's block. Thankfully, he's nothing like his Dad Hank Jr.
Born in 1972, Hank 3 has been playin all kinds of music and playin' all kinds of instruments from drums, guitar, banjo & bass in all kinds of bands from Punk to Metal to hard-core hillbilly country. I guess you could refer to him as a real…

It's time for a good ol' revival with The Blind Boys Of Alabama! First started in 1939 when they were only 9 years old, these spiritual-blues-gospel singers have stuck together through thick and thin.
The main three lead singers are: Jimmy Carter, Ben Moore & Eric McKinne. They are all three blind hence the name. But they have never let that stop them. In fact it has helped them uplift other disabled people by: "spiritually uplifting audiences" since their beginning in 1939. For…

Good new for those awaiting the release of more old Leonard Cohen from the days when he was still depressed and very much on the edge. In 2009, a CD/DVD package was released on Columbia of a concert that took place on The Isle Of Wight for the English version of Woodstock in 1970.
Both the CD & DVD are complete with many charming Leonard songs from his storied & timeless past like: "So Long Marianne" right after "Bird On A Wire." But this is not just another greatest hits…

I know this is not a new album...however it may deserve a second listen. I have enjoyed many hours of entertainment from this album that is something like reading one of Leonard's poetry books, but, with music accompanying it.
The music and songs on this album/CD took place mostly in the 60's & 70's. This was light years before Leonard went "Euro-tech" in the late 1980's with "I'm Your Man." As time has marched on I think I prefer this older Cohen although I did see his "Man"…

Dana Spiardi said… Dear Tim - thanks for your nice words about my Bobbie Gentry piece! "Ode to Billie Joe" was one of my favorite songs from childhood. It seemed so spooky to me, and I love spooky things. The violins in that song give it such a haunting feel. Bobbie and Glen did record an album together in 1968. I saw Glen in Pittsburgh a few months back and he was AMAZING! Made me cry! Again, I appreciate your support. Dana

Tim- Thanks for staying in touch. I've send a Friend Request your way. I always tell interested folk that my primary claim to fame during my dozen active years in the music biz is working with the bass players for both Buddys--Buddy Holly AND Buddy Knox. I worked for Jimmy Bowen and Waylon Jennings. No wonder I'm writing and talking about those two legends almost 40(!) years later. By the way, both men wrote very good autobiographies.
