Speedy says: 2000s - #7: As long time readers of So Many Roads Know, one of my favorite musicians is Marshall Crenshaw. Crenshaw is so under rated that he makes John Hiatt, whose lack of attention I have frequently mourned, look like Mr Popularity. Crenshaw was born in Detroit, MI but got his big break in New York, when he played John Lennon in the off Broadway production, Beatlemania. While in New York, he recorded Someday, Someway, a song that Robert Gordon covered and took to #76 on the Billboard charts in 1981. Crenshaw released his version the next year, which went to #36 in the charts, his only top 40 single. Crenshaw’s first 2 albums are must owns for every rock fan. Famed critic Robert Christgau summed those 2 discs up in one simple word - PERFECT. This soundboard recording captures Crenshaw, in Philadelphia on March 30, 2002, 2 dozen years ago today.
and that’ll do for me! Ever a fan of John Hiatt and agreeing wholeheartedly with Speedy about his lack of attention (especially in the UK? sic!?) I have to admit I know little to nothing about Crenhshaw and have heard of him but he did not travel well into the UK (Europe?) so give this a listen folks
more importantly do you actually know any MERKINS who can cover George Formby!??!? (Cleaning Windows is NOT the Van The Man classic but much MUCH earlier! He should cover more George! Leaning on The Lampost I recommend!!!?)
I like him!
From Paul over at ALBUMS THAT SHOLULD EXIST!
Paul says: "I'm back with another volume of Marshall Crenshaw performing cover songs. This is the sixth volume so far, and there are still three more to go to get caught up to the present day (as I write this at the end of 2023).By now, if you know the other volumes in this series, you should know the drill. As usual, I'm struck by the breadth and depth of Crenshaw's musical tastes. He performed a fair number of classic, well known songs here, but also some obscurities. For instance, "When I'm Cleaning Windows" dates to the 1930s, and was considered so racy that the BBC banned it for a while.All but four songs are unreleased. Those four that are released happen to the the first four. One is from an Aerosmith tribute album, and two more are from a Nick Lowe tribute album.The fourth released one, "Walk Away Renee," is from an official Crenshaw live album. Ironically, this one had more sound issues than most of the unreleased songs. While the song itself sounded fine, there was some annoying laughing and cheering over the music, including in the middle of the song. So I used UVR5 to wipe that out while keeping the music. Because I did a lot of that, I put "[Edit]" in the title. I also removed cheering from most of the other songs, but just at the end. There were a couple where it was too problematic to remove though. "When I'm Cleaning Windows" also has "[Edit]" in the title. If I remember correctly, that's because he stopped in the middle of song when he forgot how it went. I edited out that mistake."Here's a list of the original artists for each song:01 Big Ten Inch Record - Bull Moose Jackson / Aerosmith02 Cruel to Be Kind - Nick Lowe03 Television - Nick Lowe04 Walk Away Renee - Left Banke05 Danny Says - Ramones06 I'm Only Sleeping - Beatles07 The Girl on Death Row - Lee Hazlewood with Duane Eddy08 El Paso - Marty Robbins09 Kick Out the Jams - MC510 My Little Red Book - Manfred Mann / Love11 Pushin' Too Hard - Seeds12 Nervous Breakdown - Eddie Cochran13 When I'm Cleaning Windows - George Formby14 Endless Sleep - Jody Reynolds15 I Want to Tell You - Beatles16 Beyond the Sea - Charles Trenet / Bobby Darin
