An Apple Music-selected playlist. I listened to an album of covers of Johnny Cash songs titled "Kindred Spirits - A Tribute to the songs of Johnny Cash" which has several covers that I much prefer to the originals, including by Keb' Mo' and a slow version of "I Walk The Line" by Travis Tritt that I performed at a bar yesterday.

When that album finished, the tunes kept coming and now I'm somehow listening to one slow blues tune after another that I've never heard before, sprinkled with funky non-blues tunes that I am also digging very much. Such as:

Blues of Desperation - Joe Bonamassa
Leaving Trunk - Taj Mahal
Angel From Montgomery - Bonnie Raitt
The Action - Keb' Mo'
Kokomo - Eric Bibb
Death Came A-Knockin (Travelin' Shoes) - Ruthie Foster
Smoking Gun - Robert Cray
Sunrise - Tab Benoit
All Alone - Eric Lindell
These Days - Gregg Allman
Georgia On My Mind - Willie Nelson
Spank - Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Kid Rock
Long Distance Love - Little Feat
Joy Comes Back (feat. Derek Trucks) - Ruthie Foster
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl - Jonny Lang
Honey Hush! (Talking Woman Blues) - Albert Collins
Tupelo Honey - Van Morrison
Leave the Light On - Beth Hart
See No Harm - Tinsley Ellis
Love Me Like A Man - Bonnie Raitt
On Your Way Down (2023 Remaster) - Little Feat
After Midnight - J.J. Cale
Sweet Pea - Amos Lee
Ain't No Sunshine (feat. Tracy Chapman) - Buddy Guy
The Thrill Is Gone - B.B. King
Don't Leave Me Here - Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo'
Queen of Hearts - Gregg Allman
Railroad Bill - Taj Mahal
All That You Dream - Little Feat & Linda Ronstadt

Never really listened to Johnny Cash before but now I'm thinking I should. This is just so good.

Never really listened to Johnny Cash before but now I'm thinking I should. This is just so good.

You, I, and almost everyone else (including Trent Reznor, who wrote that song and performed it as Nine Inch Nails) agree that Johnny absolutely killed it:

Johnny did something similar a few years earlier with his superb (and equally different!) cover of the Soundgarden song that first turned me onto that band, which I think went a long way to giving him a new generation of fans, later leading into his even more highly regarded "Hurt" cover:

Yes, you can see a glimpse of Tom Petty on that last clip. He and the Heartbreakers backed up Johnny Cash for much of his last albums.

He also did a nice cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus":

By the way, I like to think that I met you on a flight from Hawaii almost 18 months ago.

I was listening to the pit bull next door, who was barking incessantly. His owner is out and he can hear me typing and listening to music and the news, which drives him a little crazy. He did not respond to my repeated orders that he be quiet.

So I went to Youtube and searched for "large dog barking loud" and started playing the noises of dogs barking and howling.

He went quiet except for the occasional low whine.

Oh wait, now he's in the fenced-in courtyard on the other side of the building, barking again, but that might be because of pedestrians passing by. I doubt that he can hear me from there.
I expect that he'll be back. Whatever will I do next?

Kris. I play several of his songs at the bar every week, but now that we've lost him, learning this one has new urgency:

 

[Blind_Justice]

One hour and eighteen minutes of pure Armageddon. Meshuggah live at the Summer Breeze '24 festival in Germany.

That's how you do extreme extreme metal.

 

[Blind_Justice]

Maybe someone finds this uplifting.
