"Nobody" by The Replacements (from "All Shook Down") So Stonesy.

"You Don't Have To Go" by Jimmy Reed. It's like an entire movie--late night, wet street, neon sign, dangerous lady, etc.--wrapped up in a wailing blues. Perfect.

"Fancy Man Blues" (Still haven't gotten used to separating the words) A nice complement to Jimmy Reed.

"Mixed-Up Confusion" by Bob Dylan. A blistering rock'n'roll single from the "Freewheelin'" period(!) Take that, Joan Baez...

"Ramblin' Round Your City" by Odetta. The title alone (it's a Woody Guthrie tune) would make it work, but this is a funky, bluesy little sleeper. Recorded at Carnegie Hall, 1968.

"Baby, Don't You Do It" by Marvin Gaye. The Band's cover is so fierce, but I heard this version over the PA between sets at Levon Helm's barn. It proves that Levon is what we always knew him to be: a man of respect.

"Wildwood Flower" by Reese Witherspoon. Sacreligious perhaps, but she does a lovely version in the "I Walk The Line" movie. Hats off for trying and succeeding with this.

"Long Distance Operator" by The Band. "The Basement Tapes." As funky and dirty as they ever sounded.

"Brain Cloudy Blues" by Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys. Again, the title is so perfect that it doesn't really need anything else. Great stuff.

"Claudine" Would have completely changed the prevailing perceptions of the "Emotional Rescue" album. A perfect centerpiece for that record.

I see many good choices & get ideas...

piece of fiine advice & get the SNS & get some boostin
bass strong car or home stereo & get into the
heaviest of heavy Southern dixie genuine stuff...

Just take ool Neil´s Rockin´In The Free World to put on afterwards,
if ya need some balance...

Wow Rev...Brain Cloudy Blues now there's a song ya dont see many people mention.
Elvis took lyrics from it and mixed 'em in with Kokomo Arnold's Milk Cow Blues and spat it out at the Sun studio as Milkcow Blues Boogie...great stuff!!!

"If you don't believe I'm leavin' you can count the days I'm gone."

Was there ever a cooler kiss-off than that?

I got this Bob Wills set called "Take Me Back To Tulsa" a while back. I've been having a lot of fun delving into it.

Have you ever heard "Dallas" by The Flatlanders? I bet you'd get a kick out of their first record...it's been released under a couple of titles, usually found in the States as "More A Legend Than A Band"(recorded in 1971 or '72, but sounds fifty years older than that).


"Dallas" (Jimmie Dale Gilmore)

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight.
And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light.
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

Well, Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.
But when you are up, she's the kind you want to take around.
But Dallas ain't a woman to help you get your feet on the ground.
Yes Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.

Well, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind,
But I came into Dallas with a Dollar and a dime.

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye
A steel and concrete soul with a warm hearted love disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes

Yeah Rev have the Flatlanders ...Nice album but as a fave I lean more to ..Tonight I'm Gonna Go Down Town...great stuff

One of my favorites on the Flatlanders record is the Cajun tune "Jolie Blon." Wills & The Playboys put their spin on it with "Jolie Blon Likes To Boogie."

Wow.

Ai Garimasu - Jefferson Starships red octopus

hey Rev., did you know the boys' Black Limo was based on Jimmy Reed's "You Don't Have To Go"?? Both nice bluesy tunes, similar structures. And thanks for all your songs, its nice to find a new song or artist to open doors.

Always loved "Black Limo" and go back way further with that (to age 11--first album I ever bought) than with Jimmy Reed...Mick/Keith/Woody must have set me up for Jimmy R. I guess I knew "You Don't Have To Go" before I knew it.

Very glad that you were interested my "current faves" list. If you wind up looking for the Odetta thing, it's on "A Tribute To Woody Guthrie," which includes some good Dylan/Band performances, as well.

It's a mofo, that track...

Still a great soundtrack. I love the Byrds.

skillzpetey....Black Limousine also carries similair lines to those used in Slim Harpo's Dream Baby..."you ride around baby, ride around in your long black limousine"...In 1992 Mick also cut to version's of Dream Baby with The Red Devils.

Hey Dandelion, I have that on vinyl as well as cd! Very good album! It's one of those ones that you put on every once in a while.

You'll all laugh but I burned a sort of funk disc for myself and I can't get enough of Double Dutch Bus!!


For Stones stuff...................You Got The Silver. The more ilisten to that song, the more I apreciate Keith's guitar work.

City of the Blinding Lights - U2
