Add Some (More) Music to Your Day...

[SAllen2556]

Like many I'm sure, I go in spurts of what I listen to. Lately, I've been re-discovering some old Detroit classics. Here's about a half hour playlist you might have heard on WRIF in Detroit in about 1978. The MC5 song has a naughty swear word at the beginning, but after that it's fine.

These songs rock a bit more than what I've checked out from others' lists (which are great - thanks to all - I'm always looking for new or old stuff I haven't heard a million times before) but if you're a "mellow fellow" these are probably not for you.

East Side Story - Bob Seger

Kick Out the Jams - MC5

A Night Like This - Romantics

Turn Up The Radio - The Rockets

Time To Move - Bittersweet Alley

Lust For Life - Iggy Pop

I like something from most genres, but I am mainly an alt-country and roots rock fan. Three songs are on my mind right now:

"Alabama at Night" by Robbie Fulks, which is a retelling of the story of Walker Evans and James Agee.

"Getting Ready to Get Down" by Josh Ritter

"Saying Goodbye" by J. S. Ondara

I also find myself listening to The Stooges "Funhouse" album frequently. It isn't exactly obscure, but it is raw, unrestrained energy, and it is really clear why it is so influential even 50 years later.

Great band, fantastic song, in one of the smallest if not the smallest, 'venues'.

"Saying Goodbye" is good, but the online radio station I listen to played it too much for a bit, so I have to admit I got tired of it. A Josh Ritter song was just on, so maybe you'd like the site I listen to. https://radioparadise.com/ The only site I know that plays both Sphongle and The Beatles. (unpaid-it's just really good)

My dad likes "Funhouse", but I haven't listened to it before.

Another song I wanted to add, is Caught Up In You, by .38 Special

It's such a catchy tune, with some fantastic guitar riffs and solo's thrown in there. I am partial to one of their live recordings of the song, as it has a conclusive end as opposed to just fading out. I've linked it below.

I will give it a try. I have an Amazon music subscription and they have a lot of good playlists, but I'm always looking for other sources. Especially free ones.

Hey now! There is no need to be ageist.

True story. A few years ago, my wife and I went to an Alice in Chains concert. While waiting for it to start, we chatted some with the young man sitting behind us. At one point he said "My father likes Alice in Chains and he is old, too." I politely mentioned to the little embryo that I was the same age as Jerry Cantrell.

Man, I've really been on a Glenn Campbell kick lately. This particular version of his classic Gentle on My Mind is just absolutely incredible. You're in for a nice treat when he really starts playing that guitar of his.

I used to think from the lyrics it was a Jimmy Webb song -- but it's not.

I'm not sure if he's a great singer or just had the opportunity to sing some truly great and popular songs for the first time, or maybe it's a little of each.

My favorite is probably the heartbreaking "Where's the Playground, Susie?" which of course is Webb.

He sure can play guitar too. He was a studio musician originally.
