Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

Don't hear too much Loverboy on the radio or on streaming platforms to be honest. On Fridays you may hear Working for the Weekend during the afternoon drive, or on occasion The Kid is Hot Tonite. Not much else and they had a long string of hits in the 80s. So forgive my boomering while I give some Loverboy a spin.

Loverboy - Lucky Ones

 
Birthday wishes to the late Freddie Mercury, born this day, September 5, 1946. Hard to believe he's been gone for over thirty years, time does fly. Lots of songs to choose from the Queen catalog, obvious and not so obvious, but I really like this one.

Queen - You're My Best Friend

Definitely one of my favorite Queen songs...and I have most of their albums, on vinyl and CD.

I think the bass player wrote this one too.
 
One last birthday, this time it's Al Stewart, born this day, September 5, 1945, 79 years young. Maybe not as good of a voice as Freddie Mercury (and who does?), but his voice is pleasant to the ear, at least I think so. I posted Year of the Cat and Time Passages last weekend so I don't want to repeat myself. I think this was his last hit single, even though he put out several albums afterwards, I guess his 15 minutes of fame had ended already.

Welp, its December.

You know what that means.

Now, understand, I recognize Mariah Carey as both a incredible talent and an unparalleled technical singer. She is also a certified hot babe.

But

If I hear "All I want for Christmas is You" one more fucking time, I am gonna throw the receiver / amp in Lake Huron.

I have already had way too much syrupy, soulless seasonal crap (I am looking at You Josh Groban)

So, intermittantly, I present TAN's Alternative Christmas Songs that don't suck

First up, Tom Waites. No, not THAT one. This one. A torch song. Written primarily for piano and fire extinguisher. This song sounds to me like a bar opening up around 11am on the day after Christmas (that would be Boxing Day in the former Empire).

Warm Beer and Cold Women


Now. Some woman singers are hereby found guilty of being too thick to understand "seduction". Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift. Trisha Yearwood, Gwen Stafani, Ariana Grande...and Michael Bublé FFS! A nice Canadian Boy.

Yeah, I am talking about "Santa Baby"

There is only ONE good version and it is perfect. It conveys exactly what Santa will get if he comes through with the loot. Eartha KItt understood that it was MEANT to be a sexy song, telling a story worthy of Lit. And she also knew "sexy" very well.


ASIDE: When she was Catwoman, ABC toned down the "Batman Love Catwoman" story lines, It had only been a year since Capt. kirk Kissed Lt. Uhura, and they were worried about offending, uh, racists. (Let me check. Yes, racists are the ones who would have been offended). If you catch a rerun sometime, watch Batman's eyes. Adam West was either a much better actor than he gets credit for, or he was a man who apreciated being in a love scene with a hot woman. Maybe both.

I can relate. I was driving this morning, and the sat radio played the most vile, crappy, stupid, lame, vomit inducing song of all time and I couldn't get the radio turned off fast enough. I tried backing up really fast to go backwards in time ... but that didn't work either.

But I can assure you... it was 1,000 times worse than Gary and the gap. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Part 2 of Tan's Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck.

Way back in the Top 40 AM radio 60s there was a lot of Christmas music recorded by huge stars like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The Rock stations tried to get by with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree " and "Jingle Bell Rock". Neither rocked that hard.

The Beach Boys tried with a "Wall of Sound" (OK, more of a "Fence of Sound") approach on "Little Saint Nick". It's just another BB car song, a riff on "Little Duece Coupe", not quite "Fun, Fun, Fun" or "409", but better than, say "Little Old Lady...".

But...Elvis....

Elvis recorded a lot of Christmas music. For some reason, "Blue Christmas" is the go-to Elvis Christmas song. It's a relatively harmless, country blues. Inoffensive and bland. Not reflective of what he was in 1957.

That was poured into another song. Watch out for that Big, Black Cadillac...


With a nod to decent covers by Brian Setzer and Kurt Russell (!)

Next, speaking of covers, Chuck Berry...

Santa Bring my Baby Back to me, by Elvis!

The first Foghat song I ever heard was off of this album, but it wasn't Slow Ride. Rather, it was the title song. The full-throttle boogie of the song got me all caught up in it and I just had to hear it again it was so good!

Foghat - Fool for the City

It's a great song but I drive faster and faster to it. Bad Juju man!

Hmmm... I wonder what that song could be. Maybe that one Weird Al parodied shortly thereafter?

And for the record, I do like Gary Puckett. Actually saw him in concert many years ago, but that's another story.

Billy Joel - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

I was reading online that Billy Joel will be releasing his first pop single in many years, a song titled “Turn the Lights Back On", and it said it "will be available in Italian Restaurants everywhere on February 1." So I just had to give this a listen!

Great song!!! Reminds me of all the people I knew who got married early and now caput!

I didn't even remotely understand the title as a kid... but as an adult musician, realizing, Carl Wilson was in a vocal band. As a guitar player, he wasn't ever going to be featured. It's kind of sad, but he totally kicked ass.

And do not even get me going about Dennis Wilson... who was in the movie "Two Lane Blacktop" as the mechanic... which is an absolute cult masterpiece...

And, he was the best looking one IMO
