With A Feeling

Jul 7, 2009, 2:19pm For The Sake Of The Song

And in the evening, when the sun´s gone down and it´s cooled off a bit, I love to play me some of that old blues. There´s nothing better than sitting on your porch late at night, drink in hand and stars overhead, listening to the masters from the Delta or the windy city. So here´s another tenpack, filled to the brim with blues treasures I´ve been digging recently. First one who writes in to tell me which famous band stole That´s No Way To Get Along gets the For The Sake Of The Song Crossroads award... [...]

Toast: A Gospel Mix

May 25, 2009, 8:50am heartonastick.blog-city.com

( pic via ) More straight-up gospel than last week's , except where it isn't. It keeps an eye on the afterlife, there's the whiff of a narrative... though I wouldn't pay too much attention to themes or stories as I liberally appropriated any directional intent for the cause. (The Staples' classic is now, of course, about nothing but Chevrolet automobiles.) Not much in the way of brimstone, though it's hard not to admire Reverend Nix' bald contempt for his congregation. Of the belters in these 80 minutes - Coates, Mahalia, that [...]

Because the world is round

Aug 2, 2006, 4:08pm to die by your side
