the battle of evermore

Great tune, really love the mandolin. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss also do a great version.

[Russell Kanning]

that would be interesting .... some songs you can picture a redo being pretty good

#41 live
Dave Matthews Band

that one and "two step" seem better live to me.

I may well have posted this before.
But thinking about Zeppelin covers; how about "Barefoot beauty [?] Lucia Micarelli performing Led Zeppelin's Kashmir."
With Ian Anderson.

Jimi Hendrix - 1983 (A merman I should turn to be)


Jimi Hendrix - 1983 (A merman I should turn to be)
Hurray, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So, my love Catherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die, but to be re-born
Away from land so battered and torn....
Forever...
Oh, say can you see, its really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick-tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screamin' pain
And the arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea...
Is straight ahead
Straight ahead.....
Well, its too bad
That our friends Can't be with us today
(Well, that's too bad)
The machine that we built
Would never save us
That's what they'd say
(That's why they ain't coming with us today)
And they also said "Its impossible
for man to live and breath underwater
forever" was their main complaint
(yeah)
And they also threw this in my face:
They said "Anyway, you know good well
it would be beyond the will of God -
and the grace of the King"
Grace of the King...
(yeah, yeah)
So my darling and I make love in the sand
To salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our body
Come and bid it farewell
Starfish and giant flumes greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under, we take a last look
At the killing noise...
OF THE OUT OF STYLE!
THE OUT OF STYLE.... OUT OF STYLE!

From my new favorite artist-I-never-heard-of-before, Paul Thorn, comes "Pimps and Preachers". He gives a brief background in the intro to this song, but there's more detail in his bio.

"One taught me how to love, one taught me how to fight" is quite literal: his uncle (the pimp) was Thorn's corner man and manager when he went six full rounds against Roberto Duran. He cut Duran pretty badly, but Duran cut him worse; the ring doctor stopped the fight because blood was pouring into both eyes, and his upper lip looked like he'd been hit in the face with an axe.

REO Speedwagon - Ridin' The Storm Out *Live 1977*

[KBCraig]

I was aware of Shooter Jennings' career (son of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter), and that he was more outlaw rock than outlaw country, but I've never listened to his music.

Last night I stumbled onto this video from his 2010 album Black Ribbons. It's a 77 minute concept album about a new imposition of police state rules, and Stephen King plays the part of the radio announcer leading up to the midnight deadline before radio is outlawed.

The best thing I can do is parrot a reviewer who called it, "Allman brothers meets Pink Floyd". It's very The Wall-esque. I mean that as high praise.

SHOOTER JENNINGS SUMMER OF RAGE

[KBCraig]

Summer of Rage lyrics:

Chaos is hangin' around
Put your ear to the ground
And shudder from the sound
The death machine ain't slowin' down
It's gainin' pound for pound

A gas mask is the couture in the summer of rage
They're building mass graves within the states
You and I, they'll vaccinate
They're preparin' us for an all out Police State

--
CHORUS
Hush, hush, little child,
your world is goin' wild
Can't trust nothin' but the love in your momma's eyes

Hush hush, little child,
Salvation's in your smile
Just wish I could be alive
To see the whole river rise

--

Our only weapon's total defiance
Let our love for our neighbors guide us
Speak loud when they try to silence
Withhold when try to fight us

--

CHORUS
