In 1993, Bob Dylan released his twenty-ninth studio album, World Gone Wrong, a solo acoustic album of blues and folk classics. Watch the official music video of 'Blood In My Eyes' now



.BLOOD IN MY EYES is one of two songs done by the Mississippi Sheiks, a little known de facto group whom in their former glory must've been something to behold. rebellion against routine seems to be their strong theme. all their songs are raw to the bone & are faultlessly made for these modern times (the New Dark Ages) nothing effete about the Mississippi Sheiks. (From World Gone Wrong Liner notes by Bob Dylan)



"Blood In My Eyes"

Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good looking girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, "Hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while ?"
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

No, no, ma'am, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

I'll tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want to give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

Recording began at the beginning of the second quarter of 1971 at the Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco. Morrison moved to the Columbia Studios in May 1971 to complete the album.(Wikipedia)

After the Goldrush - Trio (Emmylou,Linda,Dolly)

 

"After the Gold Rush" is a song written by Neil Young from the 1970 album of the same name. In addition to After the Gold Rush, it also appears on Decade, Greatest Hits and Live Rust.


After The Goldrush

Dolly Parton once commented about the making of her version of the song; "when we were doing the Trio album, I asked Linda and Emmy what it meant, and they didn't know. So we called Neil Young, and he didn't know. We asked him, flat out, what it meant, and he said, 'Hell, I don't know. I just wrote it. It just depends on what I was taking at the time. I guess every verse has something different I'd taken.'


"After The Goldrush"

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Lulu & The Broadsides (feat.Dayna Kurtz)

      Lulu & the Broadsides are: Dayna Kurtz- vocals,James Singelton -bass,Carlo Nucclo - drums,  Robert Mache -guitar,Glenn Hartman -keys.
   
 Lulu and the Broadsides is one of the best new bands you’ll hear at this year’s Jazz Fest. Lulu is the alter ego of the great vocalist Dayna Kurtz, singing with a heart pounding, soulful panache that reaches even further than the extraordinary emotional depths she’s regularly plumbed. She’s backed here by her longtime accompanist, guitarist Robert Mache, and a superb rhythm section of James Singleton on bass and Carlo Nuccio on drums.

He,s the King

 Lulu is a stage name Kurtz had considered since high school.
“There was a girl named Lulu who was really brave and really sexy and really cool. I always thought she had the greatest stage name ever. I’ve been writing for her and it feels like I’m writing for another person. Lulu was waiting for New Orleans to come into full flower. New Orleans has a very special kind of mojo, and to me, feminine mojo. The minute I came here I walked with a swing in my hips that I’d never walked with before.
“I felt New Orleans call to me the first time I came here,” she continues. “It’s a mystique that has taken over my life and music in a very positive way. That was when I was releasing my Secret Canon stuff, which is definitely New Orleans inspired. It was when I was starting to incorporate the R&B I love with the stuff I was doing on my own

Do Right Woman,Do Right Man

 Mache has accompanied Kurtz since before she moved to New Orleans.
“I met him on one of my first tours down here. I was doing a benefit for the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. The Continental Drifters were on that gig. Robert offered me a place to stay, so I wound up getting really tight with him and his wife Candace. When he moved to Memphis after Katrina, he hosted a house concert for me and sat in with me. It was magic right out of the gate.”
Kurtz put the band together last year to play a blues dance, and found herself starting a whole new project.
“It was so much fun to play slow blues songs. I was always cutting 6/8 songs out of my set because I had too many of them. Then we started playing more of these blues dances. So, when I started writing again, there was maybe one song that was clearly for my solo career and the rest of them were Lulu and the Broadsides songs.”

You,re Trouble

Now Kurtz has joined the ranks of New Orleans musicians with multiple projects.
“It’s one of the reasons I was so excited about living here. An artist like Aurora Nealand—who plays like Ornette Coleman in one band and traditional New Orleans jazz in another and rockabilly in another–this is the place I want to live. I want to be able to go off on tangents and have nobody think it’s a big deal. This is the only place I’ve ever lived where that hasn’t been a problem.”

It has been covered by Eric Burdon and The Animals and The Soul Survivors (as the B-side to their hit "Expressway to Your Heart"). It has also been covered by The Belfast Gypsies, Keith Shields, Santa Esmeralda, the Truth, and The Astro Zombies.

KGB - (feat.Mike Bloomfield - 1975)

Formed by Mike Bloomfield (the late lead guitarist of the Butterfield Blues Band, Bob Dylan's original guitar player and one time member of Electric Flag) and includes Carmine Appice (whose drumming credits include Vanilla Fudge, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart and Black Sabbath) Rick Grech, bassist of both Blind Faith and Ginger Bakers Air Force and Ray Kennedy - Sax, Vocals

                                          Sail On Sailor (Wilson/Kennedy)

 KGB were the supergroup of the supergroups, the creme de la creme, a mid seventies collective featuring of the most impeccable musicians in the UK and USA, they created a controversy, a mystique and a collectability that has endured and grown for almost 30 years. Even today, rumours persist that Grech's old mucker Stevie Winwood contributed anonymously to the recordings although no one has ever confirmed this.(Rockasteria)

                                        "Baby Should I Stay Or Go" (Bloomfield/Goldberg)

 Both Bloomfield and Grech left KGB after the album's release, and the group recorded another LP, "Motion", with replacement musicians before disbanding. Bloomfield carried on through the 70s with a series of under-achieving blues albums and film soundtracks while his health declined, allegedly due to drug abuse. In November 1980.

 Bloomfield joined Bob Dylan onstage in San Francisco for a popular rendition of "Like A Rolling Stone", a song they had recorded together for "Highway 61 Revisited". Three months later, on February 15. 1981, Bloomfield, still in San Francisco, was found dead from a drug overdose. He was buried in LA- ironically, a city he disliked - and Goldberg gave the eulogy at the request of Bloomfield's family. Goldberg later declared: "I say a memorial prayer when the anniversary of his passing comes up. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him. He's still very much alive inside of me."

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Johnny Copeland - Tin Pan Alley (Montreux 1985)

 
 Stevie Ray Vaughan (Dallas (Texas), 3 oktober 1954 – Chicago (Illinois), 27 augustus 1990)

Van Eelco Gelling tot Jan Akkerman,van Jimmy Page tot Eric Clapton,van Carlos Santana tot Jeff Beck ,van Pete Towsent tot Joe Bonamassa en vele,vele andere topgitaristen ik heb ze allemaal ,,live,, in aktie gezien en vond het allemaal even mooi.
Ik heb er echter een gemist ,en mischien wel de allerbeste in zijn genre,
Stevie Ray Vaughan.Ik weet eigenlijk niet of hij ooit in Nederland heeft opgetreden.
Gelukkig is er prachtig DVD materiaal van deze gigant in omloop en zijn registratie van zijn optreden in Montreux die ik sinds kort in mijn bezit heb behoort nu al tot een van mijn favoriete concert DVD,s .Hieronder een fragment met als gast Johnny Copeland.

Gov,t Mule & Hook Herrera - Working Class Hero

            "Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.


Govt,Mule & Hook Herrera -Working Class Hero (Lennon)

"Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.
Bij het uitbrengen van het nummer had de platenmaatschappij twijfels rond de tekst:

• Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv.
• Think you're so clever and classless and free.
• But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.

Uiteindelijk koos men om het woord "fucking" op de hoes te vervangen door een asterisk. Lennon stond erop dat expliciet vermeld werd dat dit op aandringen van de platenmaatschappij was.


As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
