Well, I can’t believe we have reached that time of year again!! Festive frolics await and to help you get into that Yuletime mood (just in case you need a little prodding..like me) I have a few little sonic merriments … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Ora Cogan – Katie Cruel
Well, two days in a row now I’ve featured a cover version but, as with yesterday’s song, what I like about this rendition is that it’s quite far removed from the original. Today’s haunting take on Karen Dalton’s spectacular Katie … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Solomon Linda’s Original Evening Birds – Mbube
I know it happened a lot in the past when songs were covered and then went on to be really popular, but the original artists didn’t even get credited, let alone get any royalties…but I never realised today’s song was … Continue reading

SONG OF THE DAY El Chicano – Viva Tirado
Emerging from LA in the late 1960’s, El Chicano were originally formed by Freddie Sanchez under the title, The VIP’s. Their name change, which was altered soon after their formation, was taken from Chicano, a term for US citizens of … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Johnny Burnette and The Rock ‘N Roll Trio – Honey Hush
“Lonnie Donegan inspired everyone [to play guitar] because he made it look as though it was possible to do. But who really moved it out of just playing acoustic to electric was all those people that were playing in the 1950s. Initially, it … Continue reading
