The Music Thread

But, but, but that Wall of Sound.

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is a song by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, first recorded in 1964 by the American vocal duo the Righteous Brothers. This version, produced by Spector, is cited by some music critics as the ultimate expression and illustration of his Wall of Sound recording technique.[2] The record was a critical and commercial success on its release, reaching number one in early February 1965 in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The single ranked No. 5 in Billboard's year-end Top 100 of 1965 Hot 100 hits – based on combined airplay and sales, and not including three charted weeks in December 1964 – and has entered the UK Top...

As for the Brothers



Few breakups in the history of music were as dramatic as The Everly Brothers‘. Tensions erupted during a live performance at California’s Knott’s Berry Farm in 1973. Don Everly was left astonished and alone in front of a confused audience when Phil Everly, overcome with rage, shattered his guitar and walked off stage. The demise of a partnership that had influenced rock and roll harmony was solidified at that moment.

Who would be the best front man of the did a tour?
 
Casey Jones (born March 14, 1864, southeastern Missouri, U.S.—died April 30, 1900, near Vaughan, Miss.) was an American railroad engineer whose death as celebrated in the ballad “Casey Jones” made him a folk hero.

When Jones was in his teens, his family moved across the Mississippi River to Cayce, Ky., the town name (pronounced the same as Casey) providing his nickname. An engineer with a penchant for speed and virtuoso use of the whistle, he was making up time when his fireman warned him of a train ahead. After telling the fireman to jump, Casey died in the collision, one hand on the brake, the other on the whistle. An engine wiper, Wallace Saunders, wrote the first ballad about him. Another version was published by Lawrence Siebert and Eddie Newton in 1909 and became a popular hit in vaudeville. Other versions appear in railroad, construction, hobo, radical, and World War I song collections, and there are versions in French, German, and Afrikaans. Later versions transferred Casey to Western railroads, and some made him into a roistering ladies’ man, to his widow’s distress.

There's this



And this

 
Anyway - who is it here that is hoping for new Car Seat Headrest? New album soon - new song is great. Looks like he is getting back into long form songwriting.

 
Egad, we are an old group. How about something a little newer. I was directed to this group/singer. And I am enjoying very much.

"And when I was using, she still said she loved me
Be more of a human, less of a junkie
You gotta gift man, go and be something
If I was in your shoes, I would be jumping
And that's when I felt it, it conquered my heart
It was the light of a candle, in the depths of the dark
And there was a fire, it danced in your eyes
A beautiful world and a beautiful mind"



And this last one goes off into Manchester scene grooves about two minutes in.

Definitely older folk on this page… or at least folk who appreciate the older jams.
Why is that do you think? Is it because the board itself is comprised of middle aged to old farts, with 40 somethings being the young ones? I wonder what the average age is of all poasters on this board.
There are bumper stickers out there that read: “I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands”
Were the really cool bands only from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s? There are radio stations that only play hits from the 70’s - for a reason I guess.

In 50 years (assuming there still is “radio” as we know it) do you think there will be stations devoted only to the 2020’s? I seriously doubt it.
 
I think the Let It Be live recording of that song is better than Harrison's officially released demo.

It's crazy how many incredible songs Dylan didn't officially release until later in his career as demos, cast offs, or bootlegs. You can make an all time great album with non album, non singles, Dylan recorded songs.
 
Man—I’m old (51), but this thread must be full of 60+ folks. I like most of what you guys post—big fan of blues, folk, funk, Americana/alt country, jazz, brit pop, British Invasion, and so much more. But damn… something post 1980 can really liven things up every once in a while.

I’ve been digging on the Bug Club recently.
