Neil Young Walking To New Orleans

Dan ook nog maar het origineel..


Fats Domino Walking To New Orleans

Walking to New Orleans is een song van Bobby Charles,speciaal geschreven voor Fats Domino.Fats had al eerder een Bobby Charles song opgenomen ,en toen hij tijdens een tournee Lafayette aandeed nodigde hij Bobby uit in zijn kleedkamer om een copy van van zijn nieuwe plaat te overhandigen en vroeg hem op visite in zijn huis in New Orleans.Het antwoord van Charles was "I don't have a car. If I'd go, I'd have to walk." En zo ontstond het nummer ,,Walking To New Orleans,,


Bobby Charles, artiestennaam van Robert Charles Guidry, (Abbeville (Louisiana), 21 februari 1938 - Louisiana, 14 januari 2010) was een Amerikaans singer-songwriter.
Charles groeide op in Louisiana, waar hij in contact kwam met de cajunmuziek. Later begaf hij zich meer op het pad van de rock- en bluesmuziek. Als tiener schreef hij het lied See You Later Alligator. Het nummer werd ingezongen door Bill Haley and His Comets en werd in 1956 een hit in de Verenigde Staten. In 1960 bracht Fats Domino Walking to New Orleans uit.

The Sadies - Ramblin Roots (Tivoli Utrecht -21 Okt 2017)

      The Sadies  Ik kende de naam ,maar niet hun muziek Het  Ramblin Roots Festival was dus een mooie gelegenheid voor een nadere kennismaking.


 De band is zo,n 20 jaar geleden opgericht door de gebroeders Dallas en Travis Good en spelen samen met bassist Sean Dean en drummer Mike Beltisky nog steeds in dezelfde samenstelling.
Hun muziek word beschreven als een mix van Surf, cool cowboy psychedelia, electric bluegrass, spaghetti western soundscapes, garage punk,whats in a name.


Het optreden was een zeer aangename verrassing,van de eerste tot de laatste minuut boeiend.Prachtig gitaarspel,mooie samenzang,prima rythmsectie.
                                                          

Bijzonder is ook de link tussen The Sadies en onze eigen Outsiders uit Amsterdam.In In de wereld van de Amerikaanse garage-rock scene zijn  Ronnie Splinter  en Wally Tax echte culthelden,Een nummer werd dan ook opgedragen aan Wally Tax.Samengevat,een zeer geslaagd optreden op een toch al prachtig RamblinRoots Festival.

  • The Sadies' insanely original sound, a cross between country, rockabilly and movie soundtrack music ... suggests what might've happened if Kurt Cobain played with Dick Dale.

  • The near flawless musicianship grows consistently more assured on each recording, as the band moves seamlessly among styles, from traditional country gospel to psychedelic gloom, from hillbilly rock to Bakersfield honky-tonk, from jangly surf instrumentals to cautionary murder ballads.

Eric Burdon - One More Cup Of Coffee For The Road (RockPalast 21-04-1976)


      Eric Burdon -  One More Cup Of Coffee For The Road(Dylan

//
    The Band: Eric Burdon - voc,Mike Carr - keyboards,Robert Ahwai - guitar,Bobby Gien - dr.


Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie

I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your daddy, he's an outlaw
A wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom
No stranger dare intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf

Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Oh, to the valley below

Neil Young - No Wonder (Prairie Wind)

 Prairie Wind is the twenty-seventh studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on September 27, 2005. After dalliances with 1960s soul music (Are You Passionate?) and rock opera (Greendale, which spawned a Young-directed film of the same name), Prairie Wind featured an acoustic-based sound reminiscent of his earlier commercially successful albums Harvest and Harvest Moon. The album was in part inspired by the illness and recent death of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, and the album is dedicated in part to the elder Young.

"No Wonder"
See the bluebird fly easy as a dream
Dipping and bobbing in the sun
Could she be the one I saw so long ago
Could she be the one to take me home

This pasture is green
I'm walking in the sun
It's turning brown
I'm standing in the rain
My overcoat is worn
The pockets are all torn
I'm moving away from the pain

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Ring, ring
The old church bell
The bride and her love
Seeking guidance from above

Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind
I'm hearing Willie singing on the radio again
That song from 9/11 keeps ringing in my head
I'll always remember something Chris Rock said

Don't send no more candles
No matter what you do
Then Willie stopped singing
And the prairie wind blew
The green kept rolling on
For miles and miles
Fields of fuel rolling on for miles

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Toll, toll
The fallen soldier bell
The old church on the hill
Still standing when so many fell

Back when I was young, the birds blocked out the sun
Before the great migration south
We only shot a few
They last the winter through
Mother cooked them good and served them up

Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair
Behind a big wooden desk
The caribou we killed mean nothing to him
He took his money just like all the rest

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Ring, ring
Ring the wedding bells
The bride takes the ring
And the happy people sing

The Yardbirds - Empire Pool , Wembley, London op 1 Mei 1966



                  The Yardbirds 1966

 Keith Relf - Vocals,Jeff Beck- Guitar,Jimmy Page- Guitar,Chris Dreja - Bass,Jim McCarty -Drums.
  

"Train Kept A-Rollin'" (or "The Train Kept A-Rollin'") is a song first recorded by American jazz and rhythm and blues musician Tiny Bradshaw in 1951.
 
In 1965, the Yardbirds popularized the song as an early psychedelic blues rock song, due largely to Jeff Beck's fuzz-toned guitar work. Theirs soon became the most copied arrangement with recordings by a variety of musicians. After guitarist Jimmy Page joined the group, the Yardbirds recorded an updated version with new lyrics as "Stroll On" for the film Blowup in 1966. With a highly charged rhythm section and a dual lead guitar attack by Beck and Page, it is seen as a forerunner to heavy metal.

Without Jimmy Page but with Paul Samwell Smith ?


"Shapes of Things" is a song by the English rock group the Yardbirds. With its Eastern-sounding, feedback-laden guitar solo and anti-war/pro-environmental lyrics, several music writers have identified it as the first popular psychedelic rock song. It is built on musical elements contributed by several group members in three different recording studios in the US and was the first Yardbirds' composition to become a record chart hit. When it was released as a single on 25 February 1966, the song reached number three in the UK and the top-ten in the US and Canada.

Van Morrison plays Astral Weeks (Hay-On-Wye ,Wales, 01-06-2001)


Hay-on-Wye (Welsh: Y Gelli Gandryll or just Y Gelli), often abbreviated to just "Hay", is a small market town and community in the historic county of Brecknockshire in Wales, currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Powys.] With over twenty bookshops, it is often described as "the town of books", and is both the National Book Town of Wales and the site of the annual Hay Literary Festival.
The settlement's name is first referred to between 1135 and 1147 as "Haya"; in 1299 the name of "La Haye" is used. By the 16th century it was simply called "Hay", and the use of the river as a suffix is a later addition. In 1215, a Welsh name, "Gelli" was recorded, and "Gelli gandrell" in 1614; the two names may have been used concurrently in 1625. The English language name, "Hay", is derived from Old English "hæg", possibly meaning a "fenced area" and a noun used in late Saxon and Norman times for an enclosure in a forest. The Welsh word celli (lenited to Gelli) has a range of meanings including wooded areas of various extents

  Sweet Thing (thanks to the taper)

The town lies on the south-east bank of the River Wye and is within the north-easternmost tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park, just north of the Black Mountains. The town is just on the Welsh side of the border with Herefordshire, England, here defined by the Dulas Brook. Where the brook joins the River Wye just north of the town, the border continues northwards along the river. The Wye was the boundary between the former counties and districts of Radnorshire and Brecknockshire.
The adjacent village of Cusop lies on the English side of the Dulas Brook. The nearest city is Hereford, county town of Herefordshire, some 22 miles (35 km) to the east.
