Cover Of The Day:



"Take Me To The River"; never a single, Al Green wrote the song (with Willie Mabon and "Teenie" Hodges), ruminating on the different directions he was being pulled in, by his religious faith and by more basic, biological urges, and released on "Al Green Explores Your Mind", 10/2/1974

Lucinda's version comes from the series of "Lu's Jukebox" covers albums she recorded during Covid-19 isolation, in particular this one, "Southern Soul from Memphis to Muscle Shoals", released July, 2021

Today, in Musical History, October 3rd:

1945: 10-year-old Elbow Parsley gives his first public performance, at the Mississippi-Alabama state fair, in Tupelo. He sings "Old Shep", comes in 2nd, and scores $5.00 worth of tickets to fairground rides.

Elbow Parsley. Hehehe.

Cover Of The Day:

"Chain Gang", # 2 Pop, 10/3/60, Sam Cooke

Cover by the rather mysterious Jim Ford, a great blue-eyed souls singer who wound up more as a behind-the-scenes kind of musician - a songwriter, arranger, producer, backing vocalist and all-around facilitator. Here, he brings a little Muscle Shoals-style groove to the song...

Today, in Musical History, October 4th:

1957:The Reader's Poll in the New Musical Express, a famously shitty British music rag, vote Part Boone the NUmber One singer in the World, with Elvis coming in second.

These, I remind you, are the same people who think that England won the war single-handedly.

The only thing remarkable about Pat Boone were his white buck shoes.

Good ol' Iggy--still shirtless after all these years.
