Ha! Yikes.
Black Swan
Abord the Yorikke!
One of my favourite blues singers, Karen Dalton
I just bought Cotton Eyed Joe, a double cd which was recorded live in Boulder in 1962.
I highly recommended it. Couldn't find anything from the double cd on youtube .
But here is one from another album.

Do I hear a bit of Billie Holiday or Bessie Smith?
That could be Billie to my ears if I weren't told otherwise (or hearing acoustic guitars, of course).
Oy. I was the double bassist in Houndstooth with Gary Cherone as vocalist in 1996 (post Extreme). We did one gig and one recording session. The gig was the Dicks, Dykes and Fairies Ball in June 1996 at some big club in the Fenway area of Boston (don't remember the name; FTW!). He grew up in a typical Italian home with Frank Sinatra as a hero and we did Frank tunes with a big ole edge. We absolutely nailed it. My 15 minutes. But wait...we did a recording session at Sound Techniques a few days later and laid down a solid, massively swinging jazz version of Dream On (I shit you not). We were to play the opening of the Hard Rock in Boston with Aerosmith and then Gary got a call from some guy named Eddie.
I went back to the stool grind. I'm still there.

New Guided by Voices again, the second lp of 2017. The 1st one is a double lp. More is more. The latest, HOW DO YOU SPELL HEAVEN, is a single lp.

^ This is a great example of why the Bootleg Series and Biograph are so important.

and there's 3 versions out there if I'm not mistaken.
Hmmm...I have two versions. The version Pogue posted is on BS 3 and a more stripped-down (or should I say less over-dubbed?) version appears on BS 8. Where's the third one?
Now that I think about it, the version on BS 3 fades in out of When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky and the video Pogue posted doesn't have that cross-cut/fade in. I wonder if the third version is just the above clean lead-in version of what's on BS 3.

I'm going to have to re-listen. You know what? There's the version from the Bootleg vol. 8, one from Bootleg vol. 3 and the other version from Greatest Hits vol.3. There are slight but noticeable differences. The video? Maybe that version is dif too, ever so slightly. But I think the vid version is the G Hits v 3 version.

I don't have Greatest Hits vol.3, so maybe that's the key here. It would make sense that they'd clean up the fade in for a Greatest Hits while leaving it studio raw on the BS version. I've always loved that: BS being so far from BS it's not funny.

Just as I wrapped up a frenzy of Replacements listening this had to pop up the other day. 2 discs, 29 songs in total. a mighty fine selection of tunes.

Although I am a child of the 80s, I didn't think I'd ever post this. But this seems like a pretty damn good song to me even though it's from Kevin Bacon.
This cat has serious "chops"! So good.....
