Keren Ann - My Name Is Trouble ('Nurse Jackie' soundtrack)

Keren Ann - My Name Is Trouble

Now I have said before how frequently I pick up fine, fine music from TV series (Emily Barker, Wilful Missing etc etc) but this is from 2010 and I rarely find music from quite so far back but this track cropped up in my revisiting the excellent TV series (Channel 4 here in the UK) from the States Nurse Jackie which I am currently binge watching and adore Edie (Carmela Soprano) Falco

and found this [series 5 ep 3]:

"My name is trouble", taken from the album 101, available here : http://bit.ly/ieWhdH

Now the thing is that I have mentioned a couple of previous tracks on Nurse Jackie but it is uncanny how music affects the storyline and plot feel and these guys who do the casting of songs in context on TV series (Wallender etc) fascinate me. Where do they get to hear contemporary music that fits so well? Do they commission things and do they have to pay inordinately large sums to get releases from artists? I think I would have loved to work in that field. It has led to a life long journey with the work of Emily Barker and Wilful Missing I bought everything by and they seem to be defunct now which is an almost unbearable sadness. Both fine and exquisite writers of the contemporary song IMHO

There, I’ll shut up now but . . . . . .you take my point?

Fleetwood Mac - Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA 1971

Fleetwood Mac at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, California on February 19, 1971.
It was one of the dates on which Peter Green joined the Mac temporarily after the disappearance of Jeremy Spencer, who went on to join a religious sect.*
The Swing Auditorium was an indoor arena with a capacity of nearly 10,000 attendees where many rock artists from the sixties and seventies performed. It was destroyed on a fateful date, September 11, 1981, when a twin-engine Cessna aircraft crashed into it.

* interesting historic document in the Fleetwood Mac story and not least because Peter felt able to step back up after the LSD party event and subsequent ‘disappearance' of the execrable apparently unashamed Children of God, David Berg acolyte and mentee, the alleged self confessed pedophile Spencer who scurried away into the darkness [interesting that he is still touting his trade and trying to tour the UK despite fervent opposition and people keeping track of the accused child abuser]

Sir Douglas Quintet - The Best Of ....Plus (1964-1966 USA 2000 release) | Rockasteria

Sir Douglas Quintet - The Best Of ....Plus (1964-1966 USA 2000 release)

Recorded between 1964 and 1966, this set is a companion to THE SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET IS BACK! The Sir Douglas Quintet came off more like a gritty amalgam of every strain of music that drifted through the airwaves of Texas.

Leader Doug Sahm had wide-ranging musical tastes but he attached himself to every performance with such pure and utter confidence that the tendency to label his music falls away as its wonderful wholeness becomes apparent. "She's About a Mover," the number that put the Quintet on the map, opens things up. Delights abound--from the riveting "The Rains Came" to the bluesy drama of "In The Pines."

The breadth found in this timeless music can be heard as the blueprint for Doug Sahm's music career over the following three decades. Restless, reverent, honest and bold, this is an essential Sir Douglas Quintet songs collection from their early period (it's not an all-time best of compilation despite its title)

Woodentops - “So Good Today” [Giant] | HERBERG DE KELDER / fivestarlounge

So Good Today

herberg found this on here fivestarlounge:

who said: My favourite Woodentops song “So Good Today” is from the superb 1986 album “Giant.” Every song is great, especially this one, which surprisingly was never a single from the LP. The big hit was “Good Thing,“

and we can see (hear?) why!

Loving this one . . . . .

In 5th April 2022, Bob Dylan remembered the taping of the Johnny Cash tribute show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, which took place on the same day in 1999. Bob Dylan appeared in a pre-recorded video from European tour rehearsals performing “Train Of Love.” The event was broadcast on April 18 in the United States.
