Wild! Brazilian Gal Costa performs a rather progressive interpretation of Taureg music. It's strange; I hear the traditional intstrumentation and rhythm, but there's a "snake charmer's oboe" that doesn't seem quite right. And mixing in some free-jazz-like melody/harmony; it's very odd...and oddly likeable!
Willie, man, c'mon! 6:00 news, somebody been shot, somebody's been abused, somebody got away, somebody didn't get too far...Toby, son, you gotta saddle up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line. When the gunsmoke settles...we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singin' Whiskey for My Man, Beer for My Horses!
Blues guitarist-singer B.B. King and "Hootenanny" folk singer Mary Travers (Peter, Paul, and Mary) sing "House of the Rising Sun" as a conversation. I don't think Mary "gets it." Her voice drags, seems dead, unconvincing, overly romantic. Strange. B,B.'s okay ~ at least when his fingers are walkin' and Lucille's doin' the talking, Odd. Corny. Worth a listen.
Moody Blues in their early, early R&B days, before they got cosmic and astral and spaced out. First heard this when I was 15. Not sick of it yet...eons later. Classic rhythm & blues (cover).
