Freddie King’s “Hideaway”
Of course, the first version I ever heard of this song was the cover by Eric Clapton with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Hell of a band, that one. Bass player was John McVie, the “Mac” of Fleetwood Mac.
A live version from Peter Paul and Mary. I have a slightly better studio recording of theirs on my iPod, but this is what I found on Youtube.
something else we agree on…
🙂
friday jams fest continues ! Love it.
…and a laugh.
Dr. Arthur Jones has been a family friend for deacdes. His book “Wade in the Water” takes a scholarly look at the development of the spirituals:a heavy a influence of the blues.
Typed on an Iphone, right?
The book is a good read. It comes with a cd of very good old spirituals from the roots of slavery.
Romanoff took a long time to throw a punch. But, when he started to throw them it turned out he was tougher than anyone imagined.
I see no way Dan Maes now loses the GOP Primary. The attack ads will sink any chance he has.
The attack ads will sink any chance McInnis has.
Does that have to do with Friday Jams?
There are 100 Romanoff vs Bennet or Maes vs McInnis threads you could have posted to.
Pay attention to where you’re posting, crazy Primary people!
As to Leadbelly as they say just cause you know the words doesn’t mean you understand what they say
of a wonderfully gaudy composition….
(BTW: This composition is from Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana,” in which he set to music a series of 11th-13th century poems compiled under the same name)
Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters…. 🙂
Cool selection of blues, but I’m in the mood for something else.
The book is a good read. It comes with a cd of very good old spirituals from the roots of slavery.
He’s the founder of the Spiritualist project
Frontman for Joe Rockhead, Ugly Americans, and the Scabs. Brilliant guy.
that one is excellent.
If I were obscenely rich I would throw a party at my house and hire these guys to play. Pouring the beer down his buddys throat is classic. Top shelf !
Happy Friday all you polsters !
even people I don’t like much anymore.
According to legend (not text), when Moses parted the water and the Israelites crossed safely, then the waters returned and drowned the Pharoahs army, angels sung. They were reprimanded by G-d, who said, “Let us not rejoice in the failings of others”.
(this song always reminds me of a visit to a friend in Cooperstown, NY, while I was a grad student in Connecticut; a direct descendent of James Fennimore Cooper who had been a housemate of mine in Berkeley a decade earlier, in the same house that Shannon Jo Ryan, daughter of California Congressman Leo Ryan of got-gunned-down-by-the-Jonestown-cult fame, had also lived just before ironically joining Bagwan Shri Rajneesh’s cult…).
… performing a Genesis song, NYC 1978. (Skip the first 1:30, which is pointless crowd and backstage footage).
…Stevie Ray Vaughn and Lonnie Mack playing my favorite Blues Tune….
Brought a real smile to my face. This tune pulled out a memory that’s been buried for years. A song from my youth: “I’m a fucked up motherfucker…”
The lyrics varied after that.
I think almost any John Prine is a good fit for Friday Jams Fest.
Here’s one of my all time John Prine favorites (sadly current all over again):
And we shouldn’t forget his buddy, the late Steve Goodman, singing about a train I rode frequently between Chicago and Carbondale, IL, when I wasn’t in the mood for hitchhiking:
The 18 minute long theme song of Arlo Guthrie (who made Steve Goodman’s song about a train considerably more broadly known):
And Arlo’s dad, Woodie, singing his own “socialist” anthem:
Where’d all of that big-hearted, good-humored, easy-going love of people and life, that for so many of us is what is most admirable about our country, go?
But if I wasn’t from Denver, I’d want to be from Chicago. It’s my favorite three- or four-day weekend getaway!
Probably a few years after you (her seventh birthday is coming up).
On our last visit to Chicago, a few weeks ago, we went on the Chicago River Architecture Boat Tour. Great fun! (They were shooting the next “Transformers” movie, and stuntmen were paragliding out of helicopters right over the skyscrapers and the river. It was kind of surreal looking). My mom lives a mile from the Chicago Botanic Gardens (half a mile as the crow flies; I used to play on the bare hills as a kid, after the city had bought the land, but before they had developed it), which my daughter loves. Other than that, we always hit Lincoln Park Zoo, Millenium Park, and the Art Institute.
and I have a niece and nephew born there, too.
Now that I see there is a St Joes in Chicago, I probably should have clarified that I was born at St Joes in Denver. (Is there a St Joes in every city? Whodathunk?)
A few trips ago we went on the Architecture Boat Tour and I recall it was quite interesting and entertaining. We also did the Lake Michigan tour, which was fun as well. I bet your daughter loved the activity with the filming. Exciting!
Downtown Chicago is perfect for walking and wandering.
I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin’ down Highway 41
Not really, but it’s a great line.
Even if you’ve already seen this “Captioned for the Clear-headed” version of Joe Cocker performing “A Little Help from My Friends”, it’s always worth a rewatch. Or maybe that’s the Wonder Loaf talkin’, I dunno.
I had thought about posting this today! But then it slipped my mind. Way to go!
It HAS to be the Wonder Loaf!!
I had only been thinking about the Joe Cocker rendition of the song, not this particular clip with the captions for the clear headed. That’s hillarious!
There’s plenty of great stuff on the net, but this is classic.
I have seen it before, but it is just as funny the second, third, and fourth time you see it.
Thank you for posting it. It gave me a real chuckle once again.
My husband was watching Woodstock on TV last night, which made this even funnier.
I first saw these guys in Telluride, sometime in the mid-90s, thought WOW! then forgot about them, mostly.
Saw them last weekend at Rocky Grass, and have to say I was most impressed.
Its like indie/world beat/bluegrass
