Neil Young - This Note For You

                     This song is Neil's shot at his contemporaries in the music business who sell their music for corporate ads. This song was originally released on the album "This Note's for You" in April of 1988.

Young remembers writing "This's Note's For You" while on tour: "I remember writing it in my bus, turning to my driver and saying, 'Jesus Christ, this must be the most idiotic fucking song I've ever written.' I still can't believe that such a dumb little song could have helped resuscitate my career the way it did."
                  

This Note's for You is the 18th studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released April 11, 1988, on Reprise. The album marked Young's return to the recently reactivated Reprise Records after a rocky tenure with Geffen Records.

Van Morrison - Summertime In England (Essen 4 April 1982)

One of my favorite VM songs. Beautiful performance with a great band. Special attention to Pee Wee Ellis
 

 "Summertime in England" by Van Morrison is a poetic reflection on the beauty, history, and spirituality of England during the summertime. The song weaves together themes of nature, literature, art, and a deep sense of spirituality to create a rich tapestry of imagery and emotion.

Big hand for the band!!!

Common One is the twelfth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1980. The album was recorded over a nine-day period at Super Bear Studios, near Nice, on the French Riviera. Its title is in the lyrics of the song "Summertime in England": "Oh, my common one with the coat so old and the light in her head".

 

Bob Dylan - "Golden Loom" ( Outtake "Desire")

 "Golden Gloom" is entirely Dylan's work. That's probably why the song wasn't selected for "Desire," which is primarily a collaboration with Jacques Levy.(Bob Dylan complete)

Golden Loom

Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
I see the sailin’ boats across the bay go by
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
And then I turn my head, for you’re approachin’ me
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room
With a golden loom

First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
And then you drift away on a summer’s day where the wildflowers bloom
With your golden loom

I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of perfume
And your golden loom

Bob Weir (feat.Buddy Miller/Steve Earl) - I Know Your Rider

                                             Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival
        Rooster Stage -Golden Gate Park-San Francisco, California-October 8, 2017

 Robert Hall Weir born October 16, 1947) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known as a founding member of the Grateful Dead.

"I Know You Rider" (also "Woman Blues" and "I Know My Rider") is a traditional blues song that has been adapted by numerous artists. Modern versions can be traced back to Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Deceitful Brownskin Blues", which was released as a single in 1927. It later appears in the 1934 book, American Ballads and Folk Songs, by the noted father-and-son pair of musicologists and folklorists, John Lomax and Alan Lomax.The book notes that "An eighteen-year old black girl, in prison for murder, sang the song and the first stanza of these blues." The Lomaxes then added a number of verses from other sources and named it "Woman Blue". The music and melody are similar to Lucille Bogan's "B.D. Woman Blues" (ca. 1935), although the lyrics are completely different

 "I Know You Rider" was also a staple of the Grateful Dead's live shows. It was the first song that bass player Phil Lesh rehearsed with the band upon joining. However, Lesh was not confident enough in his own singing abilities to handle the song's lead vocal. During the Grateful Dead's live concerts, it was usually performed as the second half of a medley with "China Cat Sunflower".
