We really take off with this Summertime Special Saturday Single Back 2 Back with Steve Miller Band and the original space cowboy, Bill Shatner, as do the summertime hit Space Cowboy, from Trick's Synthetic Podcast.
We really show off our flexibility today with a Saturday Single - Back 2 Back separated by 50 years, this tune was ouriginally a hit 78 for the bluesman, Blind Lemon Jefferson. Deep Elem Blues has been covered by countless bands through the decades and continues to be a popular song today. It is an ode to a part of east Dallas which was originally the urban hub for African American commerce during the early twentieth century...today it has re-emerged as a hip residential and shopping area for the hot rod and tattoo crowd around Big D and of course, the tourists. Here are Mary McCoy and the Cycolones from 1965 and Levon Helm, from Merefest, some 50 years later with Deep Elem Blues...from Trick's Synthetic Podcast.
I've just begun reading Ian McLagan's autobiography, All The Rage, (available here) and thought it would be appropriate to close out the month of April with two versions of April Fool. The first is Ronnie Lane and Pete Townsend from 1977's Rough Mix album. The second is Ian McLagan and his Bump Band from Spiritual Boy, a tribute to Ronnie. By the way, both Ronnie and Ian were awarded membership in the Rock Hall of Fame this April as members of the Small Faces! Another quality offering from Trick's Synthetic Podcast!
Erma Franklin (March 13, 1938 – September 7, 2002) was an American gospel and R&B singer. She was the oldest daughter of Barbara (née Siggers) and the Reverend C. L. Franklin and the elder sister of Aretha Franklin. Her best known recording was the original version of "Piece of My Heart", written and produced by Bert Berns, for which she was nominated for a Grammy Award...at Saturday's Single.
Two of my favorite's ~ Otis Redding's Cigarettes and Coffee and Etta James, one of the last originals in the blues. Enjoy this great combination of soul blues from Trick's synthetic Podcast's Saturday Single.
