Dion and the Wanderers - Tomorrow Won't Bring the Rain (1965)
I'm very partial to Dion's sides that he recorded for Columbia in 1965 - produced by Dylan's producer Tom Wilson, they fit perfectly with the folk rock sound of the day.
NRBQ - I Say Gooday Goodnite (1969)
Written by original guitarist Steve Ferguson, this brief power pop gem did not get released until 1993. Bassist Joey Spampinato remembered it and recorded with the Spampinato Brothers in 2011.
Bill Fay - Goodnight Stan (1970)
A poignant and haunting song from his debut LP. Apparently it was inspired by the an uncle who was poisoned by mustard gas in WWI
Soon they say they are taking us away to another place
Toquinho (with Jorge Ben) - Zana (1970)
Toquinho's self titled 1970 LP features several wonderful collaborations with Jorge Ben.
Charlie McCoy and the Escorts - Screamin', Shoutin', Beggin', Pleadin' (1966)
You might recognize the name Charlie McCoy as a famous Nashville session musician who played with everyone from George Jones to Bob Dylan. Before he became a first call musician in Nashville he played with the Escorts, recording a number of blues and soul tunes. The Fabulettes, a Miami soul trio, also recorded this song but I like this beltin' blue eyed soul version better.
King Houdini And His Calypso Parliament - Bobby Sox Idol (1947)
Calypsonian tribute to Frank Sinatra from Wilmoth Houdini. The Avalanches sampled this recording. Fun stuff.
You have a perfect voice to sing Calypso
Bobby Jameson - Right By My Side (1967)
Wonderful psych-folk rock song with production by Curt Boettcher - I must admit I absolutely love the "ba ba ba bas" backing vocals
Sonny Rollins - Valse Hot (1956)
R.I.P. Saxophone Colossus
Hefner - Love Will Destroy Us in the End (1998)
A call for sincerity from their first LP - "certified sad sack pop hit"
We feel so empty and our late twenties should be better times.
Billy Childish and Thee Buff Medways - Misty Water (2002)
Billy Childish and company with a fine cover of a Kinks' deep cut .
And seeing is believing But I can't believe my eyes
George Jones - Eskimo Pie (1958)
I'm not sure about comparing a woman to a "pie" but this silly novelty tune is good listen.
"I will take you to my igloo mister, I won't let you die"
Dionne Warwick - If You Never Say Goodbye (1972)
By 1972, Dionne Warwick was starting to fade commercially. She moved to a new label and even added an 'e' to her last name at the advice of a numerologist. However, Burt Bacharach and Hal David were still aboard, and there was still a little magic left.
Broken hearts don't mend And people have to bend
Ivy - Only A Fool Would Say That (2002)
Ivy were (are?) Dominique Durand, Adam Chase and the late Adam Schlesinger. Here's their fantastic cover of the Steely Dan's mocking critique of John Lennon's idealistic Imagine.
I heard it was you Talking 'bout a world where all is free
The Mighty Shadow - Every Body is Some Body (1976)
I first heard Taj Mahal's version which then led me to the original. Uplifting calypso
Jimmy Campbell - That's Right, That's Me (1970)
Liverpudlian Jimmy Campbell was a member of the Kirkbys, 23rd Turnoff and later Rockin' Horse, and released three solo LPs. I'm more partial to his more upbeat songs like Lonely Norman and this one from his 2nd solo LP.
Roddie Joy - Come Back Baby (1965)
Sweet soul from Roddie Joy, much beloved by the girl group collectors as well as the northern soul crowd.
My heart still cries out for you
