Bill Withers - Use Me... Soul the way it should be

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.

Maceo Parker LIVE "Pass The Peas"

Totally funky. Totally groovy. Maceo drops into a laid back funky rendition of this classic.

Two Wicked Versions of an Urban Soul Classic

Two fantastic versions of Gil Scott-Heron's "Home is Where the Hatred Is". The first by the man himself, and the second by the amazing Esther Phillips. Heron just sounds plain pissed off. Phillips evokes a sound of mournful regret. I love both of them.

Yes - Starship Trooper and the Three Chord Wonder Ending

Yes was my fav band for a bunch of years through high school and beyond and - before you ask - no I am nowhere near old enough to have been a fan when their stuff first came out. I discovered them long after. This segment (Wurm), comprising the end of one of their best songs (Starship Trooper), has perhaps the best looped three chords to jam over ever written. There's just so much going on during this section including a synth solo, guitar solo, bass modulation up the wazoo, all over a G - Eb - C pattern that is created through a great chord pattern that leaves an open G-string (yeah, I said it) droning throughout the progression. Originally wirtten as a section of a song called Nether Street b y guitarist Steve Howe's earlier band Bodast, the intricate weavings of Yes make this section a three chord wonder to remember.

Max Webster drinks Blue River Liquor Shine

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 says: Girl, I'm Just a Vampire for Your Love!"

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.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Drown (live)

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.

Audioslave - Peace, Love and Understanding (w/Maynard James Keenan)

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.

David Wilcox - Do The Bearcat

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.
