Magic Slim and the Teardrops have been an important influence on me in one way or another. This instrumental of theirs has great bite and shows musicians really getting it to cook.
I think Magic Slim was the first blues show I attended in Chicago.

"Cook" is right, man! I could listen to this all day...

Song to the Siren... originally by Tim Buckley, famously covered by This Mortal Coil, a stellar version by Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance and now I've just discovered Robert Plant's version. When a song is good... it is good.

Jimmy Webb, Brian Wilson harmonies and Jerry Douglas on dobro. What?Jerry Douglas? Playing "MacArthur Park?" (His solo starts at 4:43 and it's crazy great.)

 

Yes, this is a mixed bag, but then the song itself is a mixed bag.

Ha thinking about it .... it may be a UK thing

 

Being that all our school girls are usually under 16

No... you're probably right. I was going for the hysteria that ensued when schoolgirls went to see the Beatles back in 1963. I was kind of like that watching this band. Sort of.
