One for Woody’s Birthday! Bob Dylan — Pretty Boy Floyd Oakland California USA. December 4 1988 | Route

Bob Dylan — Pretty Boy Floyd. Oakland, California. December 4, 1988

with  G.E. Smith

 

If you'll gather 'round me, children,

A story I will tell

'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw,

Oklahoma knew him well.

It was in the town of Shawnee,

A Saturday afternoon,

His wife beside him in his wagon

As into town they rode.

There a deputy sheriff approached him

In a manner rather rude,

Vulgar words of anger,

An' his wife she overheard.

Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain,

And the deputy grabbed his gun;

In the fight that followed

He laid that deputy down.

Then he took to the trees and timber

To live a life of shame;

Every crime in Oklahoma

Was added to his name.

But a many a starving farmer

The same old story told

How the outlaw paid their mortgage

And saved their little homes.

Others tell you 'bout a stranger

That come to beg a meal,

Underneath his napkin

Left a thousand dollar bill.

It was in Oklahoma City,

It was on a Christmas Day,

There was a whole car load of groceries

Come with a note to say:

Well, you say that I'm an outlaw,

You say that I'm a thief.

Here's a Christmas dinner

For the families on relief.

Yes, as through this world I've wandered

I've seen lots of funny men;

Some will rob you with a six-gun,

And some with a fountain pen.

And as through your life you travel,

Yes, as through your life you roam,

You won't never see an outlaw

Drive a family from their home.

For Brother Jobe - Rory Gallagher - Tattoo’d Lady 1974 (Irish Tour)

 and for Joe Bonnamassa (vicariously) perhaps!

If you know you just know!

In 1974, award winning film maker Tony Palmer followed Rory Gallagher and his band on their tour of Ireland. The subsequent movie was released in cinemas to great critical acclaim and has gone on to be accepted as one of the great rock films. Now for the first time the film has been lovingly restored and remastered from the original footage and is being reissued on DVD and released for the first time on Blu-ray. There is a massive improvement in both sound and picture quality over the original DVD release and finally Gallagher fans can get to see the film as it was meant to be, capturing Rory, his music, the period and the place to perfection.

The Cranberries  - Desperate Andy Live in Paris 1999

Tragic loss and a troubled soul (yes another . . . . .) after a fall in her hotel room whilst drinking on her own it would seem Dolores died after striking her head and drowned. Terrible she would have undoubtedly gone on to write and perform sing more and more. She was only 46

 Rory Gallagher - Liberty Hall, Houston, TX 1974

Joe Bonamassa recently released The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork, a tribute to Rory Gallagher fully comprised of tracks from the Irish guitarist's catalogue.

It was recorded with the blessing of Gallagher’s family and performed with three sold-out dates in Gallagher’s hometown of Cork and featured a guest appearance by Gerry McAvoy, Rory’s long-time bass player, who joined Joe on stage for Bullfrog Blues.

So, hearing and reading about that very nice effort was the perfect excuse to get back to some old Rory stuff.

In this case a concert at the Liberty Hall in Houston in 1974, same year as the classic live album Irish Tour '74 was released.

Sound Quality: 9-

Source: FM Broadcast

Track List:

01 - Messin' With The Kid

02 - Cradle Rock

03 - Just A Little Bit

04 - Early In The Morning

05 - Tattoo'd Lady

06 - Hands Off

07 - Pistol Slapper Blues

08 - Too Much Alcohol

09 - A Million Miles Away

10 - Bullfrog Blues

Well this might start an argument and I have said before how I do not care for Joe Bonamassa very much but I take what Attic Rock says to heart and I am sure folks in Rory’s homeland appreciated someone playing ANY Rory tunes so well beloved of his fans but I am sorry . . . . .Rory he aint!

I know it is said 'comparison are odious' but puhleeze! This is how it’s done! TURN IT UP!

I always thought someone like Rory should have given Joe lessons but hey!

BRAFA - Let’s Make Africa Green Again

This project came up on my telebox in the corner of the room again last night and I am ashamed to say despite their wonderfully diplomatic mentions of Live Aid and Bob Geldof I couldn’t help but think that the race issue meant we didn’t get to hear quite as much about this project. I had never heard of it until last night! On an British Antiques Show!

Murray Head - ‘One Night In Bangkok (Chess - Tim Rice and Andrew Loyd-Weber)

 We lost fine actor Anthony Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Nescafe ‘Gold Blend’ adverts opposite Sharon Maughan - legendary! and a later surge again in blockbuster Ted Lasso not to mention appearances in comic highlights like Not the Nine O’Clock News to Little Britain ) he also sang and had a lovely rich baritone voice which links to his brother Murray Head (80) who I enjoyed early on and friends were asking when they didn’t realise the two boys were related and indeed both released album of their own singer songwriting efforts . . . . . . . .
