I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing Mr. Freeman in concert; this is one of my favorite covers (of a Grover Washington, Jr. song) by him:
Here's a tasty blues from James Milton Campbell, Jr. (Little Milton), Enjoy!
Black Sabbath ft Phil Collins - Paranoid
Back when Phil and Ozzy were in better health.

O.k., one more (well, actually three, as it's a medley):
Pinetop Perkins - a blues piano legend who played until he passed in 2011 at age 98:
Here's Mr. Perkins, together with Muddy Waters, James Cotton, and Johnny Winter in 1977. Look up the word "tasty" in the dictionary, and you just might find this song referencced:
This is probably the only song ever written about a fatal bear attack, and it was written from the point of view of the bear. A haunting song from a moody album. One of my favorites.
Here are the details of the 1991 bear attack that the song is based on.

The Holly Cole Trio performs "I Can See Clearly Now"
Haven’t heard them in decades ! Was a fan as a kid.
My wife & I met Davey Jones at some kinda promotion many years after the Monkees were a big deal. He was much more gray & bitter than we’d remembered from childhood.

Micky Dolenz is the only surviving member. They used to repeat The Monkees tv show here in the UK in the early 1980's during the school summer holidays. I used to love watching that when I was a kid and i've been listening to their music ever since.
Good band with some great songs.

Since they were a made for TV band they "cast" them to play their instruments. Davey Jones was the only one who knew how to play the drums, but the producers thought that being behind the kit would emphasize his short stature and he wouldn't be seen. So they moved Dolenz behind the kit and put Davey out as the front man. Tork was a better guitarist than Nesmith, and Nesmith had played bass before, but the producers switched that up as well and made Tork the bassist. Based on abilities, the lineup would have been Jones on drums, Tork playing lead guitar, Nesmith on bass, and Dolenz as the lead singer and front man.
Some of our older cousins were Paul Revere & the Raiders fans. They gave us Monkees fans a hard time, saying they were fake.
Well their music was mostly written by Boyce & Hart. They were a made for tv (and Boomer kids like us) production.
Hopefully these tidbit facts don’t Grinch anyone. I still have fond memories of watching their tv show & listening to them as kids

Yeah, I've seen a documentary and a tv movie on the band which explained (roughly) what went on. They teamed up with Jack Nicholson for a movie and the The Archies song Sugar Sugar was meant for them but they wanted to write their own stuff.
Micky has a great voice btw.
