God Don’t Like it - Blind Willie McTell and Kate McTell / also Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Now following Nat Myers’ version of this classic song I went searching for the original and of course found it (although most folk scarcely mention that it is a duet with his wife Kate) . . . . .the high reedy voice made me search for more versions and whether any other covers were as inspired as Nat’s and of course it falls to Sister Rosetta Tharpe to nail it (nearly!) as good as our Nat! I think because the song amused me so I wondered about the lyrics and always enjoy a good yarn but in places it lost me verse four especially what DOES that mean!? Aaaanyhoo enjoy!

I sure as hecken freck did!

For those celebrating sobriety out there this one’s for you! One for the Fellowship!!

Blind Willie & Kate McTell-God Don't Like It

 God Don’t Like It ( an’I don’t either)

Blind Willie McTell

Verse 1]

Some say they done cut whiskey out

But you can have a little wine

Most everybody gets on a drunk

By drinking this old moonshine

[Chorus]

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

[Verse 2]

Some of our members gets on a drunk

Just to speak their sober minds

And when they raise the Devil

Lord, they put all the blame on shine

[Chorus]

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

[Verse 3]

Some of our preachers just as bad as the members

About this old moonshine

They're trying to make love with every woman they meet

Just a buyin' and drinkin' shine

[Chorus]

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

[Verse 4]

Then some of our children got naked

And the mothers never go

But the father makes that money by the roll

For the women know their shine is gold

[Chorus]

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

[Verse 5]

They said this yellow corn

Makes the best kind of shine

They'd better turn a-that corn to bread

And stop that making shine

[Chorus]

For God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

Verse 6]

I know you don't like this song

Just because I speak my mind

But I'll sing this song a-just as much as I please

Because I don't drink shine

[Chorus]

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

Now God don't like it and (I don't either)

It's scandalous and a shame

 Jesse Winchester debut - Jesse Winchester / Third Down 110 To Go (1970-72 us / Canada 2012 remaster issue)

Now I love Jesse Winchester and bought Third Down 110 to go when it came out here in the UK and continued to follow him. Great mellow songwriter and with profound poetic lyrics often deceptive and yet humorous they tend to the human condition I think his Defying Gravity one of the finest songs so here a twofer . . . . . if you don’t have anything start here

Jesse Winchester was one of the top singer-songwriters of his generation. This talented artist was born and raised in the American South, but relocated to Canada to avoid being drafted. His early inability to tour in the US may have permanently stunted his commercial success as a recording artist, since he never achieved sales commensurate with his artistic achievements.

After growing up in Memphis, Winchester received his draft notice in 1967 and moved to Montreal, Canada, rather than serve in the military. In 1969, he met Robbie Robertson of the Band, who helped launch his recording career. In the same way that James Taylor's history of mental instability and drug abuse served as a subtext for his early music, Winchester's exile lent real-life poignancy to songs like "Yankee Lady," which appeared on his debut album, Jesse Winchester (1970). He became a Canadian citizen in 1973. 

Jesse's debut  was released in a fold-out LP jacket that featured the same sepia-toned portrait (which looked like one of those austere Matthew Brady photos from the Civil War era) on each of its four sides. Winchester emphasized the dichotomy between his southern origins and his northern exile in songs like "Snow" (which Robertson co-wrote), "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz" ("I've a sadness too sad to be true"), and "Yankee Lady." Jesse Winchester was timely: it spoke to a disaffected American generation that sympathized with Winchester's pacifism. But it was also timeless: the songs revealed a powerful writing talent (recognized by the numerous artists who covered them), and Winchester's gentle vocals made a wonderful vehicle for delivering them. [Originally released by Ampex in 1970.

His two-and-a-half-years-in-the-making follow-up was in some ways even more impressive. Without the influence of Robbie Robertson, Winchester, who produced most of the album himself (three tracks were handled by Todd Rundgren), gave it a homemade feel, using small collections of acoustic instruments, an appropriate setting for a group of short, intimate songs that expressed a deliberately positive worldview set against an acknowledgement of desperate times. Winchester found hope in religion and domesticity, but the key to his stance was a kind of good-humored accommodation. "If the wheel is fixed," he sang, "I would still take a chance. If we're skating on thin ice, then we might as well dance." The album was littered with such examples of aphoristic folk wisdom, adding up to a portrait of a man, cut off from his very deep roots and yet determined to maintain his dignity with grace and even occasionally a goofy sense of humor.

Album cover art - Brian Eno Another Green World

 again (of course) another album bought when it came out and cherished for the longest time and of course I knew Tom Phillips’ work and that Brian had chosen a work of his for his album cover but it was only yesterday I bumped into the Tom Phillips original and whilst it is not a favourite of his, it suddenly struck me to included the source from the School Of Raphael for the original upon which Tom based his compositional study to view and compare

Brian Eno, Another Green World, 1975

Tom Phillips, Raphael Revisited, 1972

Votive Picture: School of Raphael 

 Umbrian School Walker Art Gallery Liverpool

I am pretty sure Tom studied the original in the Walker Art Gallery and Brian and Tom go way back and I think Tom has even painted an early portrait of him

Elle Cordova & Toni Lindgren - Full Moon Tunes Livestream, 5-31-2026 From a couple of days ago! | Albums That Should Exist!

 Oh we like Elle and Toni and have posted quite few single songs of theirs but is this the first set . . . .from ATSE!?THanks Paul willl check your links back . . . . 

Elle Cordova & Toni Lindgren - Full Moon Tunes Livestream, 5-31-2026

Paul says: Here's something that's only a couple of days old, as I post this in early June 2026. This happened to come up for me on YouTube. It's a short acoustic concert from Elle Cordova and Toni Lindgren.

So far, I've posted 14 volumes of Cordova and Lindgren performing cover songs. (In case the names don't ring a bell, Cordova used to be known as "Reina del Cid.") Unfortunately, it seems they've broken their habit of performing a new cover song every Sunday, after doing that for at least eight years. There's only been one new cover song posted in the last six months, for instance, so I haven't been able to update that series in a long time. But in this video, they talked about resuming that, but only doing one new cover song every full moon.

I enjoy their cover versions, but they have good originals too. This is a mix of covers and originals. (Specifically, "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)," "Tennessee Waltz," and "The Monkey and the Engineer" are the covers.) It was performed in acoustic mode, with just the two of them, as they usually do.

I'm a stickler for giving the date and location of any concert I post. In this case, I know the date but not the location. Clearly, it was a free webcast recorded in somebody's living room. But I have no idea of the town or even the state. If you do know, please let me know, and I'll fill in the missing information in the title. 

This album is 43 minutes long.

The Last of the George Harrison COVERED no 6 - Covered: George Harrison, Volume 6: 2015-2025| Albums That Should Exist

 Covered: George Harrison, Volume 6: 2015-2025

Paul is fascinating here in his summation but what a project!? Superb! Thanks Paul, he says: Here's the sixth and last "Covered" album for George Harrison.

Most people love the Beatles, and pretty much all their songs. So all of the songs Harrison wrote that were done by the Beatles have gotten good cover versions in this series. But, with the exception of his very popular album "All Things Must Pass," his solo career has gotten much less attention, and thus fewer covers. I've strived to include covers of all the songs I like from him. I couldn't always find even a decent cover, but I was successful most of the time.

In my opinion, Harrison was a very fascinating songwriter. On one hand, being in the Beatles, he learned from Paul McCartney and John Lennon how to write very catchy and poppy melodies. But on the other hand, he had a natural tendency to write songs with unusual and complicated chords. This led to Lennon repeatedly complaining how difficult it was to learn how to play Harrison's songs. On Harrison's best songs, he somehow managed to combine being catchy and poppy with unusual and complicated chords and other musical moves. That's not easy to pull off. 

But unfortunately, that has been another big reason many Harrison songs haven't been covered that much. He almost never wrote three or four chord songs. Out of the six volumes, this is the one where I have the most of his obscure and rarely covered songs, usually from his solo career. That's because, when looking for cover versions, my last resort is to find unreleased versions by lesser known musicians on YouTube. Most of those have taken place in the last ten years or so (as I write this in June 2026). Songs that fall into that category on this volume include "Nowhere to Go," "Cosmic Empire," "Poor Little Girl," "Miss O'Dell," "Beautiful Girl," and more. However, I always maintained quality control. There are a few more Harrison songs I wanted to include where none of the cover versions I found were good enough, in my opinion.

Two of the songs here have "[Edit]" in them. For "Circles" by Pete Zolli, there was some drumming on the song that I didn't like. Something about it seemed off. So I used the MVSEP program to remove the drumming. I thought the song was better that way. And for "Miss O'Dell" by Christopher Clause, this is a nice song, but little known, since it only ever came out as a B-side. So I didn't have many covers options. The version by Clause is very good. However, it was something he did live in the studio and then posted on YouTube. And in the live version, he kept making brief talking asides during the instrumental parts of the song. I thought all that talking was unnecessary and distracted from the song, so I used MVSEP to get rid of that, and just keep the singing.

It's very sad that Harrison died as young as he did. It's also a shame, from a musical point of view, That from 1982 until his death in 2001, he only put out two albums of new songs. We could have had so much more music from him. But at least what he did was usually of a high quality. His Beatles songs will never be forgotten. But I hope this series helps people better appreciate the songs he wrote in his solo career as well.

This album is an hour and two minutes long.
