You may know Bill Withers from Lean On Me or Ain't No Sunshine, but he grooved with so much soul in a whole bunch of songs. I love 70's Soul and Funk, but I love it even more when done with organic instruments that really allow for a physicality to the tune instead of today's synth action.
Totally funky. Totally groovy. Maceo drops into a laid back funky rendition of this classic.
In the same way that Pink Floyd was not a man, but a band - such was Max Webster.
Max was one of Canada's most eclectic bands of the 70s that managed to somehow creep on the top 40 charts once or twice every album.
The song Blue River Liquor Shine is from their last studio album: Universal Juveniles. Nowhere near the most popular song of their career, I happen to love it. Shame that the video clip above is only the radio edit and not the full album version.
If you can find the full version, please check it out!
Marc Bolan and T-Rex... too cool for words. Is it just me or was Bolan one of those guys who just knew he was infinitely cool, talented, and could pull it all off effortlessly? I don't even know what "girl, I'm just a Jeepster for your love" means, but I'm diggin' it.
Never was a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins, but the song Drown off the soundtrack from Singles was a standout on a cd that was perhaps the best soundtrack of the 90s. Give a couple of minutes to kick in. Not the greatest quality, but for a 1992 live recording, pretty good.
Nice acoustic version with two of the best vocalists of the 90s pumping up some Elvis Costello. It's actually mostly Cornell, but that's good enough for me.
Canadians will know this blues rocker from the 70s and 80s. I will tell you, from much experience, that David Wilcox is wicked beer and party music. If you can find his "60 Minutes With" collection, you'll be a happy listener. Infinitely catchy and memorable. This is NOT the American David Wilcox who plays folky/roots stuff.
I'll never forget walking over the pedestrian bridge from the old Ontario Place Forum back the CNE parking lot in Toronto singing "Riverboat Fantasy" and "Do The Bearcat" post show. If you like this song, there are plenty of others to check out on YouTube.
A great new song and video from a band that will be featured on the DyscultureD podcast this week. The new CD is available on iTunes now. Check it out!
When culture gets overinflated, yet refuses to pop, I want to be there with the needle. Enlightened cynics of the world unite! Express your love or hatred of things from the sacred to the mundane.
