What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Benny Smiles - When We Touch

Paul Butterfield Blues Band:

Gary Moore:

George Jones Greatest Hits - George Jones Best Songs

Wonderful,
a Spanish & French influence,
playing out of London a few years back (obviously)

in front of a LIVE audience

Helen Merrill:

Please Come to Boston · Dave Loggins

Honey · Bobby Goldsboro

......

BB King:

What might these two songs have in common

(apart from the fact that they're ancient )

(and that Jimi Hendrix only recorded one of them)





The Troggs - Wild Thing



Merrilee Rush - Angel Of The Morning

Well for those that might have scratched their noggins, just a little bit.


Both the songs were written by Chip Taylor.



Who.T.F., I can hear you say ?


Chip
(real name James Wesley Voight)

is also the brother of actor Jon
and therefore uncle to Angelina

(Voight & Jolie that is).


I picked up Chip’s album as a teen when I used to catch a train into the city each Saturday morning just to browse the new US Import albums that had arrived at Batman Records in Melbourne.

Those imports always had such solid thick cardboard covers, where the Aussie ones were just so flimsy
(it’s funny what you remember from certain times).


Anyway, just a little history as I remember it, nothing too special.

But I grabbed this album because John Platania
(Van Morrison’s Caledonia Soul Band guitarist)
was playing electric guitar on it
(tho this was the only song, country flavour I guess, that really grabbed me in the end as it turned out lol).


Chip Taylor - Gasoline

Taj Mahal:
