On the Cover of the Beatles ….

Aerosmith and Bette Midler are about the only two acts I have not seen in the past 40 years. Don’t know why. It’s just that way that’s all. Here’s two covers of the same Beatles song. One by Aerosmith and the other by……well you might still enjoy it.

Chanson Royality

B.B. King featuring Dionne Warwick – Hummingbird (written by Mr. Leon Russell)
Introducing two Americans who some would call the king and queen of American music. All I know is they are smooth and polished.

These two songs sound the same to me…..but they’re as different as  ‘the bear’ Bob Hite (Canned Heat) and Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music).

Sly as a Fox

Eh bien. Qui sont les Fleet Foxes? Who are the Fleet Foxes? You’re about to find out (they’re from Washington state).

I like everything about this video. It’s fresh and honest. And the acoustics are natural and pure (Grand Palais – Paris).

Cut Throat Business

Yeah, the whole world-wide music industry is one heckuva cutthroat business. Anyone who wants fame and fortune had better be ready for the crap they are about to face.
This is a real good song and even better video by Danish musicians The Raveonettes.
