Playlist for Sound Salvation on July 23rd, 2010.
| Song Title | Artist | Album | Label |
| Ain't Nobody Home | Bonnie Raitt | Streetlights | Warner Btothers |
| Opening the show with a little bonus cowbell - I really like the album Streetlights, with that nice little 70s funk vibe, but how could they keep her from playing slide guitar on even one track? | |||
| Sign Language | Eric Clapton | No Reason to Cry | Polydor |
| A Bob Dylan song with his Bobness singing "harmony" vocals - actually a lovely little song I'd never heard before this week. | |||
| Sign on the Window | Bob Dylan | New Morning | Columbia |
| Despite these two songs, there is no evidence that Bob Dylan had anything to do with the 5 Man Electrical Band song "Signs." | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Knockin' On Heaven's Door | Television | The Blow-Up | ROIR |
| Probably my favorite version of this Dylan masterpiece. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Beside You | Van Morrison | Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl | Listen to the Lion |
| It's amazing that Van Morrison could so totally inhabit these 40 year-old-songs when he decided to revisit his classic album. Stunning stuff. | |||
| El Dorado | Jim Lauderdale | Patchwork River | Skycrunch * |
| Nice harmony vocal from the great Patty Griffin here - also a pretty good band: James Burton on guitar, Al Perkins on steel, Garry Tallent on bass, and Ron Tutt on drums. I'm not sure who Gordon Mote on keyboards and Steve Sheehan on acoustic guitar are, but they're in great company, only on this and one other track, alas. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Cummins Prison Farm | Tommy Bankhead | Bankhead | Deep Morgan |
| The incredible harmonica playing on this harrowing cut is by Keith Doder, St. Louis blues great who passed away the other day. | |||
| Rain So Hard | Otis Taylor | Clovis People | Telarc * |
| The most unique take on the blues these days is coming from this intense performer - after seeing a Youtube video the other day, he's moved very high on my list of must-see artists. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| The Boxer | Simon & Garfunkel | Bridge Over Troubled Water | Columbia |
| Fred Carter, Jr. played on a whole lot of records - he was apparently a major contributor to the arrangement of this song, working out a lovely part with Paul Simon of interlocking acoustic guitars. He passed away the other day. | |||
| Lay Lady Lay | Deana Carter | The Chain | Vanguard |
| Fred Carter, Jr. also produced a talented daughter, Deana, who payed tribute to the songs her father played on with this album back in 2007. Fred plays on this track, though, despite many assertions that he did, he may not have actually played on Dylan's original. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| I'm So Cool | Carlene Carter | Stronger | Yep Roc * |
| I'm so confused - I thought this just came out, but allmusic says 2008. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Way Out West | Big Star | Radio City | Ardent |
| Bassist Andy Hummell, one of the founding members of Big Star, passed away the other day. This was the song he wrote and sang. | |||
| You Get What You Deserve | Big Star | Radio City | Ardent |
| Here's hoping Jody Stephens, the drummer and last surviving member of Big Star, has a long, long life ahead of him. | |||
| My Love Explodes | Dukes of Stratosphear | 25 O'Clock | Virgin |
| XTC pretended it was 1967, and honestly, I like this better than the real Pink Floyd. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| The Next Big Thing | The Dictators | Dictators Go Girl Crazy | Epic |
| How have I forgotten to play this cowbell classic all this time? With my vast financial holdings, I could have been basking in the sun in Florida. This is just a hobby for me. Ya hear? A hobby! | |||
| If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself) | Pete Droge | Necktie Second | Sony |
| One of the few artists from the dark ages of 1994 who really impressed me - and he knew the value of a cowbell. | |||
| Living in the Future | Bruce Springsteen | Magic | Columbia |
| I played this album the other night for the first time in a long time - holy cow! It's way better than I remembered. And it has cowbell. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Love is the Drug | Roxy Music | Siren | Virgin |
| Everywhere I turned this past week, I heard cowbell. The reunited Roxy Music will be on the Jonathan Ross show on BBC America tonight. | |||
| Slave to Love | Bryan Ferry | Boys and Girls | Virgin |
| And one more from the Roxy vocalist, because he really pumps up the cowbell on this gorgeous little number. | |||
| Twice If You're Lucky | Crowded House | Intriguer | Fantasy * |
| I can't wait to find the time to really sit down and listen to this new record - everything I've heard has been excellent. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Wake Up the Nation | Paul Weller | Wake Up the Nation | Yep Roc * |
| A short and sweet rocker from Mr. Weller's fine new record. | |||
| Banks of the River | Peter Case | Wig | Yep Roc * |
| In town at Off Broadway tonight at 8, and at Euclid Records at 5. | |||
| Watch Her Move | Peter Wolf | Midnight Souvenirs | Verve |
| An amazingly well done vocal! | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Undesired | Alejandro Escovedo | Street Songs of Love | Fantasy * |
| My initial listen to this record was a bit disappointing, but each time I play one song on the radio, I'm very happy. Definitely need to give this a better chance with the ears. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Alibi | Shelby Lynne | Tears, Lies, and Alibis | Everso * |
| I love the hurt and resignation and anger in Lynne's voice here - sometimes she's just plain great. | |||
| Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad | Bettye LaVette | Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook | Anti * |
| Bettye, love has to be so sad so you can share that ache in your voice - although, actually, while this is a nice arrangement, it doesn't actually burn with the heartbreak of the original. | |||
| So Far So Fast | Peter Karp & Sue Foley | He Said She Said | Blind Pig * |
| A beautiful little song about the part of love that isn't sad or in need of an alibi. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Young Girl | Eli Paperboy Reed | Come and Get It | Capitol * |
| I'm fairly sure he signed to Capitol so he could use that old 60s swirly label they had on their 45s. | |||
| Wheel of Fortune | Jimmie Vaughan | Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites | Shout! Factory * |
| Lou Ann Barton sings the heck out of this bluesy r'n'b number. | |||
| Somebody Lied | Downchild | I Need a Hat | Linus |
| Canadian blues band understand the pain of the recession. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Livin' In a Worl Gone Mad | Dumpstaphunk | Listen Hear | Dumpstaphunk |
| These guys were in town last week - I missed them, but they are clearly worthy heirs to their Neville Brother fathers. (Oh, and they rock the cowbell, too.) | |||
| Caravan | Dirty Dozen Brass Band | My Feet Can't Fail Me Now | Concord |
| The Dirty Dozen tackled Ellington on their debut album back in 1984. | |||
| You Ain't No DJ | Big Boi | Sir Lucious Left Foot . . . The Son of Chico Dusty | Def Jam * |
| Just try to resist this rhythm - I can't. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way | Chuck Prophet | Dreaming Waylon's Dreams | Evangeline |
| A very limited edition run of this Waylon Jennings tribute album came out a few years ago - fortunately you can still get this stuff digitally. | |||
| Loose | Ray Wylie Hubbard | A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C) | Bordello * |
| Saw Mr. Hubbard rock out on the Jimmy Fallon show last week - one of these days I've got to stop being lazy and actually see the man live. | |||
