What Music Are You Listening to? - March, 2023

Background music while I piddle around. One of the greatest albums in the genre, from one of music's most talented groups (albeit brief). What a powerhouse of composers and musicians
DGQ - Hot Dawg

I had a Ska fest. Weather is gorgeous, windows down, Spotify gave me a nice playlist… The Specials, Toots and the Maytals, Reel Big Fish, Fishbone, all kinds.
When I was in college forty some years ago, some of the kids into dungeons and dragons claimed that Ira Louvin made a deal with the devil to be able to sing and write songs the way he did.
I consider all those rumors to be pure bullsxit. Ira was an incredibly talented, loud mouthed, profane, skirt chasing drunk who died with his fourth wife in a whiskey soaked crash not far from here at what is now Kingdom City Missouri.
But his brother Charlie was a devout Christian and lived to die of old age.
It is true many duos have tried and all have failed to imitate the magic of the Louvin Brothers. Some claim their harmonies are impossible for mortals to replicate.
But the devil didn’t buy the pair, you know?

The Bluegrass group Southern Raised performing "Jolene"
And here they are in an amazing cover of "Thunderstruck"
ever since hearing this while recently binging Breaking Bad I cant get this song/album out of my head
The intro reminds me a lot of Eagles’ “Hotel California”. Nice tune anyways.
Currently listening to Be-Bop Deluxe ~ Live! In the Air Age.
did you ever hear about this controversy? I guess Tull and the Eagles toured and this was a newer unrecorded Tull song.
Sound fammiliar?
Portishead
When it comes to whispering, she’s the Queen.

No, didn’t ever know that, and of course it sounds familiar to the Hotel. I think there’s a lot of copying going on in music. Just add a note here, and shift rhythm slightly there and there’s something new. Copyright is really a hard game in this business.
Yeah, I don't have a guitar near me but I don't think they even bothered to change the key. I guess Ian Anderson was just really cool about it though and in an interview, he was just like "yeah that happens we wish them the best of success it seems to be charting really well" I noticed that in the intro/chorus of the Dangermouse song too but then they go into this almost David Bowie Bewley Brothers direction, guess Bowie smoked a Bewley and that pipe was the inspiration behind the fictional Bewley Brothers another great song with odd Chord Changes
