  • I guess I'll call it sickness gone It's hard to say the meaning of this song An ambulance can only go so fast It's easy to get buried in the past When you try to make a good thing last

Geez it's been a bit since I made a real post. Sorry 'bout that. I've been busy as hell these past couple weeks. As a results I haven't had the chance to listen to much, but I have been digging a few things.

Most notably this new compilation cd called When Blues Met Rock. My mom picked it up at Starbucks (I know, I know. Unfortunately she's addicted to that place) and remembering that I was a fan of the genre got it for me.

Here's the description on the cd:

"The blues had a baby and they called it rock 'n' roll. So sang Muddy Waters, one of the patriarchs who amplified their music in the 1950s, mapping the way for musical offspring who in the ensuing decades gathered at the crossroads where fierce traditional blues intersected with fiery rock. Here are the masterworks from the heyday of the blues-rock nexus."

The case is pretty cool, too. In addition to the scetches of artists on the front, the whole thing is actually designed to be like a giant matchbook, from how it unfolds to the striking strip on the back. I thought that was pretty creative. Much better than a jewelcase, anyway.

There are some fantastic songs on here that I'd never heard before, such as The Yardbirds' "I Ain't Done Wrong" and Johnny Winter's "Be Careful with a Fool", but far and away the standout track for me has been T.B. Sheets. Maybe it's because I haven't heard many Van Morrison songs or something, but for whatever reason this song has been on repeat in my car and in my head. And it's just the same thing over and over music-wise. I think one of the things I like most about it is the way it matches up the chillin' groove with lyrically horrid imagery, and it's that clash that makes the song haunting.

Go here to listen to the entire thing: http://podblanc.com/node/17657

 

Anyway I'm not usually a compilation guy, but this is definitely a great one.

 

Here's the entire track list:

Elmore James - Dust My Broom

Fleetwood Mac - Black Magic Woman

The Animals - Bring It On Home To Me

Canned Heat - On The Road Again

The Yardbirds - I Ain't Done Wrong

Van Morrison - T.B. Sheets

Sonny Boy Williamson - Bring It On Home

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Pride And Joy

Paul Butterfield Blues Band - One More Heartache

Mike Bloomfield/Al Kooper - Albert's Shuffle

The Allman Brothers Band - Trouble No More

Jethro Tull - A Song For Jeffrey

B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone

Taj Mahal - Statesboro Blues

Chicken Shack - I'd Rather Go Blind

Johnny Winter - Be Careful With A Fool

I seem to remember reading in some Pink Floyd-related book that Seamus was actually voted by fans as one of the worst PF songs ever, if not the worst (I think "Dogs of War" might have won that not so coveted title, actually).  I don't understand that, 'cause I've always liked Seamus, personally.

brain: yeah basically. on that they call it "Mademosiselle Nobs" (Nobs was the dogs name i believe) and it's longer and sounds a bit different, but it's the same difference.

chuck: really? that's quite suprising. everytime i listen to this i love the little blues melody and feel of it. "Dogs of War" is much worse than this (as is a lot of the stuff on the last two Floyd albums).
