The Everly Brothers - The Price of Love (1965)

This thumping tune was a big hit in the UK and Ireland, but got no response in the U.S.. It was a shame, as it's one of their best tunes from mid 60s. Bryan Ferry put his own imprint on the song on his solo LP Let's Stick Together.

Kiss one girl, kiss another Kiss them all, but you won't recover

The Bats - Smoking Her Wings (1990)

The fantastically mournful final track on the Bats' second LP. Barbara Manning also did a great cover.

Mystic - I Get So Disgusted (1967)

A sneering garage rock number from Boise, Idaho. Can't lose with a title like that!

Lee Hazlewood - We All Make the Flowers Grow (1963)

Lee Hazlewood's first LP was a concept album about the fictional town of Trouble. The spoken word intros are kinda corny, and the quality of the songs is mixed. Still, I am very fond of this darkly humorous tune.

Please don't blame me, I didn't start this mess Some of us stay and some of us go

Rebirth Brass Band - Feel Like Funkin' It Up (1989)

I saw the Rebirth Brass Band when they opened up for Zimbabwe's divine Bhundu Boys. What a show both group put on! This was the Rebirth Brass Band's very memorable opening song, one that has become known as a New Orleans Mardi Gras classic. There's also a great version performed in Episode 1 of Treme.

Ray Barretto - Love Beads (1968)

This is a breezy and catchy bit of instrumental Latin soul; it sounds like “I just got offa work and it’s a sunny day.“

The Great Unwashed - Can't Find Water (1984)

After the Clean disbanded in the early 80s, David and Hamish Kilgour formed the Great Unwashed as a side project with Peter Gutteridge (who was also once a member of the Clean). They released a five song double single which contained this discordant and desperate Peter Gutteridge track.

Little Ann - What Should I Do (196?)

Passionate soul. As I've posted before, Little Ann was Ann Bridgeforth, who recorded an album’s worth of songs with Detroit producer Dave Hamilton in the late 60s. They were not released until much later.

The Traits - High On A Cloud (1967)

The Traits were a garage rock group from Pelham, NY - not too far outside of NYC. They released just one 45 Nobody Loves the Hulk, but this wild and snearing stomper was released on a Battle of the Bands collection.

Cause I’m high on a cloud and I ain't never comin' down
