There will defintely be 1 cover from my Round 4 artist, but they're probably as well if not more well known for the song than the original artist.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I Love You

Jerry Jeff wrote this song for his wife Susan, and it appears on his 1975 album Ridin' High.

I'd like to give you everything you'd ever want, love
Diamond rings for every toe
Danglin' earrings for your fingers
Big sparkling rocks for your nose

Didn't realize until listening that I was in the right mood to hear this one. Really like.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

The next song on my list is a cover. After that, I have a couple that are sort of covers, but not really. It's weird.

STP #10 - Crackerman
Album - Core (1992)

No deep lyrics or meaning to this one. Of all the massive hits on their debut album, this was one of my personal favorites. I always loved the groove on this one and it never gets old.


Roamin', roamin', roam

‍ I think this is my top STP song of all time. We’d rock it on the way to swim meets.

Nice, that brings back some memories. Our go to was Pantera's Cowboys from Hell.

Drafted Cowboys From Hell in Summerpolloza yesterday

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Known and liked songs from #10 include Belle and Sebastian (must have heard it on WXPN or in a previous countdown), STP, Roxy, DMB, Chesney, Judas Priest, The Cure (my #1 of theirs), The Doors and EWF.

Thoughts on some of the others:

The Bazaar is one of the most Eastern-inspired Tea Party tracks yet. The use of synths recalls Zeppelin's Kashmir.

Nobody is one of the best from Mitski so far. It's both melodic and danceable, and features compelling lyrics.

All Along the Watchtower is one of those covers that's impossible to screw up, but Slambovia's version far exceeds "not a failure". It uses the Hendrix arrangement as a template but adds their own stylistic touches expertly.

Chains Around Your Heart adds some pop elements to Brian Setzer's brand of rock. I hope we get the title track from the album it comes from.

Choice of Colors is exhilarating and uplifting.

Cry (Alt Version) is achingly beautiful. So are Such Great Heights and I Love You.

In a Different Light is a banger, especially when the wah-wah guitars come in. Hoffs co-wrote this one but her co-author Vicki Peterson sings it. Does it surprise me that this same album has a Big Star cover? No, it does not.

June has some slammin' bass parts and excellent atmospherics.

I learned about April Wine's cover of Bad Side of the Moon during this countdown because the Spotify algorithm keeps feeding it to me. It's extremely compelling and I had no idea it was an Elton original (the B-side of Border Song) until I looked it up. Obviously I can hear early Elton in this version, but I also hear their Canadian compadres The Guess Who.

And sure enough, the first thing the algorithm churned out after the playlist was ... Bad Side of the Moon.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Next Up - Every time we pick an artist for these things, the hope is that we find a track we havent heard before and fall in love with it. The next one from the Sweet is one that I had no idea existed. It stiffed as a single, yet contains all the classic ingredients of the big hits.

This happened for me with Brian Setzer. It's my number one track.

(And I love the "Peppermint Twist".)

Thats amazing.
Such a great feeling to think you know an artist and then WHAM, wheres this track been hiding all my life?
My Sweet one is at #9, but my Chvrches one is just amazing. Not #1 mind you, but in the top 5 is all i will say.

My next artist will have at least one. Possibly 11, depending when we run the next one.

Strand of Oaks #11 - "Last to Swim" (2010)

I've fallen behind on my listening due to real life and pretend football but I've finally gotten to the 11's so here's a brief write-up.

"Last to Swim" is a song from the second Strand album Pope Killdragon. It starts off like early Strand of Oaks with acoustic strumming and a verse sung in hushed tones but as the song progresses, you start to hear elements from Tim's later recordings. Initially there are some synths coloring around the guitar and voice but around the halfway through, the drums crash in and the song starts to resemble the bigger, more epic sounds that would characterize Strand of Oaks going forward.

15 list 10 thoughts...

- "Another Sunny Day" is another B&S song that has always reminded me of The Kinks. I love its cheerful sound.
- "The Peppermint Twist" by Sweet is a fun sock hop rock song.
- I dig the music in "Seek Up" by DMB.
- "In A Different Light" by The Bangles is bitchin.
- "Not To Touch The Earth" by The Doors is one of their super weird songs.
- Fanny lets their freak flag fly in "Place In The Country."
- Setzer sounds contained (for him) in "Chains Around Your Heart," and it sounds good.
- The Beach Boys "Warmth in the Sun" is laid-back and warm.
- Shellac's "Crow" reminds me of someone losing touch with reality.
- "Bad Side of the Moon" by April Wine sounds like a song that The Partridge Family could have done on their show. That's a compliment. They did some good songs. DC 4-ever
- "Choice of Colors" by The Impressions is a lyrical lesson.
- "Freewill Burning" by Judas Priest is smokin'.
- "Such Great Heights" by I&W sounds pretty and melancholy.
- I enjoyed the cover of "All Along the Watchtower" by the Circus band.
- "Lovesong" by The Cure is a terrific tune, and Disintegration is one of the great albums that closed out the 80s.

* - I love the vocals and melody to "Fantasy" by EWF on list 11.

Ronnie James Dio #10
Artist: Dio
Song: All The Fools Sailed Away (off Dream Evil, 1983)

(music video) Dio - All The Fools Sailed Away (Official Music Video)
(live version)Dio - All The Fools Sailed Away - Live Monsters Of Rock - Italy 1987

There's perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea
And as we sail along
I never fail to be astounded by
The things we'll do for promises
And a song

I really love this song. I mean, we’re at #10, so that’s little surprise that the songs are reaching the “why can’t I rank them all higher?” range. Still, this is one that hits me strong from the opening, that soft intro and lyrics (see above) hook me in every time. Appropriately, there’s a rising and falling of tone, going from softer to full-on rock and back again.

This is a song you can interpret in a number of ways. A journey for sure, full of unpredictability, of sinners and saints. I tend to favor the idea that this song is a stab at the music industry. The artists innocent (at first), but as fame grows, hunted by many forces, many with their own ideas. The promises of fame, of “a miracle”, of “a piece of the universe”, of basically all your dreams. All you have to do is follow them, even though the road isn’t always pretty, that “the doors are never open to a child without a trace of sin”. But then again, if you don’t follow, you could disappear from the spotlight, from public notice. Only a fool would “sail away” from that, right?

Next on the countdown, it was the 80s, so of course even those wearing armor are brightly-colored.

Roamin', roamin', roam

I'll never forget seeing them in the late 90's. Opened with this, Scott lizarding around like a gd maniac blaring lyrics through a bullhorn then Dean absolutely shredded the solo. Incredible performance and became my favorite of theirs from then on.

Let’s Do It Again is a 1975 film. Comedy action type film starring Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby (but I haven’t seen it). Curtis Mayfield was asked to write the soundtrack for it (like some others that I have posted, he wrote, produced, and played guitars on it). He knew The Staple Singers from their time touring together, and asked them to sing it. It took a little bit of cajoling because the lyrics were a bit more sexual than The Staple Singers were used to, but the results were great. Also had some influence in popular culture with a young Christopher Wallace (aka Notorious BIG), as Todd Mayfield describes below.

Let's Do It Again the movie is showing on TCM this Tuesday morning. Based on its title and stars, I always assumed it was a sequel to Uptown Saturday Night and I suppose it is in a way but Poitier and Cosby play characters with different names from the first one.

Just set to record. Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like airing it as part of Ossie Davis as star of the day.

I missed this the first time around. That is awesome!

I am 4 for 4 with this type of discovery on my MAD artists as well. Maybe not my #1 songs, but each artist had at least an album or two I had never listened to or had massively under listened to. I wouldn't be as excited to put these lists together if that wasn't the case and I wasn't discovering new stuff as I went. I finished my playlist for Part 4 yesterday and even with a band that has been my most listened to band for a few years, there was an album I stupidly skipped over too much and songs (mostly covers! ) that I hadn't listened to yet. As I was listening and adding, the songs and albums were surprising me a bit, which is why I wanted to do it even more.

Not officially. Zegras has said he would keep doing these, and people have mentioned here and there they are narrowing down possibilities for a part 4. I think Mrs. R is the only one to officially state who she is doing.

I am much more afraid of Mrs. R's post about Christmas albums than I am of any covers people are throwing into the mix for their artists.

Also, admittedly much of my aversion to covers stems from my ignorance about the bands and their histories. My negative and cynical side thought for years they were the musical version of remakes/sequels in movies. So as I read more about the artists and where they are coming from, it at least changes my initial thinking about covers. I am trying. On my working playlist for next Round, I had as many as 4 covers. If/when we get to it, we will see if any made the cut.

That said, I still don't like them in regular albums when I listen and my most negative reactions to songs in MAD v3 has been from covers. When there are 30+ people and personalities doing these things, no way people are picking stuff that hits with everybody.

Also, it looks like I might have to break my own rule too. Last year they were at 850K listeners and just in the last month they jumped up to 970K. As a counter, my frontrunner for Part 5 has 1200/month.

Julie London was Peter Tosh's mother.

She was an MOR singer in the 50s and 60s and, as far as I know, did nothing but covers of popular songs. She later turned up playing a nurse on the early 70s show Emergency!

You can also occasionally find her as a guest on Perry Mason. My father is quite smitten with her. And IIRC, she was married to fellow Emergency! cast member Bobby Troupe, who also has one of the great one line scenes in movies; In M*A*S*H*, he was Hawkeye and Trapper's jeep driver when they were in Japan, and annoyed by the whole chaos of the scene, he said ****** army...****** army...****** army jeep!

If you like a song when you first hear it, then find out it's a cover, do you like it less?

No, not at all. Most of the time when I find out I listen to the original for a comparison. I figure no matter which I like better, chances are I get some new music I like. There have been a few times in the MADs were I have preferred the cover - the Hoffs one I mentioned this time and there was a Nina Simone I liked more last round off the top of my head.

My most negative reactions are when it's songs I know and love, but even here there is no predictability what will get the reaction. Examples here are Dino Jr's Just Like Heaven and Cash's Hurt. Despise both of these.

90% of the time my reaction is more of a shrug. They are OK, but I'd rather hear what they wrote and played when I can. IMO covers are fun for B-sides and concerts, but I would prefer them not on the main albums of the bands I am listening to. The only time I seek them out are on tribute albums like the Nativity in Black type of stuff.

I think Troupe was another MOR singer, wasn't he?

Emergency! also starred Robert Fuller, who must have been in at least 50% of everything filmed in the 60s & 70s.

When I picked Chvrches i had no idea they did so many covers.
Some were brilliant, some awful, but they were trying things which is the most important ingredient in a cover.
Doing a note for note cover is boring to everyone, except for someone who hasnt heard the original.

As for Round 4. One Scandinavian artist is certain.
The other artist requires more thought. Or maybe I just stick to one this time.

One of the Door's oddest songs, this is part of an epic poem / performance piece by Jim called The Celebration of the Lizard. He had wanted the entire thing to take the side of an album, but they had trouble getting the whole thing down. The whole printed poem does appear on the inside of this album (Waiting for the Sun), and the entire Celebration is on the Absolutely Live album, and this live-in-the-studio version appears on a compilation. I like it - would have been cool on an album.

Okay, the last two selected lists had 12 (rather on purpose) and 11 (rather by happy accident). But for the #10s I’m going back to 12, simply because there’s far more than that to appreciate. No promises no many it'll be going forward, beyond "what feels right". Anyway, let me get caught up for some number of minutes:

Selected (and shuffled) #10s:
Seek Up - Dave Matthews Band
Nobody - Mitski
Jump Rope - Blue October
Bad Side of the Moon - April Wine
Lovesong - The Cure
There Goes My Life - Kenny Chesney
You - Earth, Wind & Fire
Chains Around Your Heart - Brian Setzer
In A Different Light - The Bangles (/Susanna Hoffs)
Cry - Strand of Oaks
Crackerman - STP
June - Destroyer

Shuffle Adventures:
Unfortunately, I didn’t have Roxy Music’s “Do the Strand” anywhere near Strand of Oaks. But I had a fun, enjoyable combo with “Give You My Lovin” from Mazzy Star followed by Andrew Bird’s “Measuring Cups”

I met my now wife 16 years ago. We were supposed to be married 14 years, but it's only been 13 and we have a 14 year old kid. She was a catholic school teacher at that time. She wasn't anymore when she told them she was pregnant. At that time I was a personal trainer. I became a part time server to pay the bills.

That mistake we thought we made
Covers up the refrigerator

He's now on scholarship at high school. Finished top 10 in the country at a national history challenge. And wove circles around a buncha upperclassmen at summer weather camp in Penn St.
