That's Just The Way The Girls Are In Texas! [Ry Cooder and Flaco Jimenez!]
The Girls From Texas - Flaco Jimenez & Ry Cooder
St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 2: 2016-2021(covers and originals!) | Albums That Should Exist
St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 2: 2016-2021
This volume is evenly split between officially released and unreleased. Tracks 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, and 16 are the officially released ones. Check out the mp3 tags for each song for specific details about where they come from.
The others generally come from concert bootlegs, or in-person radio station appearances, or the like. Again, check the mp3 tags for more info. They all sound excellent, except for "Perfect Day." That one was from an audience bootleg with rough sound quality. But I ran it through several filters with the MVSEP audio editing program, and I think it sounds decent now.
Note that "Masseduction-One Kiss" isn't a cover in the usual sense. Instead, it's a medley of a song by St. Vincent with one by Dua Lipa, and performed by them together. I thought it was interesting enough to include, even though it's only sort of half of a cover version.
This album is 53 minutes long.
Here's a list of the original artists for each song:
01 Something on Your Mind - Karen Dalton
02 Bad Girls - Elegant Too
03 Crazy - Willie Nelson / Patsy Cline
04 London Calling - Clash
05 Possum Kingdom - Toadies
06 Consideration - Rihanna featuring SZA
07 And Then She Kissed Me - Crystals
08 Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell
09 Perfect Day - Lou Reed
10 Wouldn’t Want to Be like You - Sheryl Crow
11 Masseduction-One Kiss - St. Vincent & Dua Lipa
12 Controversy - Prince
13 Martha My Dear - Beatles
14 The Eddy - Glen Ballard & Randy Kerber
15 All Tomorrow’s Parties - Velvet Underground
16 Sad but True - Metallica

R.I.P. : PADDY KEENAN 1950–2026 (The Bothy Band etc)
PADDY KEENAN 1950–2026
It is with great sadness that we mark the passing today of Paddy Keenan, one of Ireland’s most gifted and influential traditional musicians and a master of the uilleann pipes.
Born into a renowned Traveller musical family, Paddy carried forward a rich tradition of Irish music while forging his own unmistakable style. As a founding member of the legendary group The Bothy Band, and through his celebrated solo career, he brought the sound of the uilleann pipes to audiences around the world.
His powerful playing, remarkable technical ability, and deep understanding of Irish traditional music inspired generations of musicians and helped secure the uilleann pipes a central place on the international stage.
We will remember the musical career and lasting legacy of Paddy Keenan in a forthcoming edition of Irish Music Magazine.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
This man is almost solely responsible for turning me on to the Uilleann pipes when I heard The Bothy Band way back . . .this is why
