Today, the other side of the “bridge” with Dylan. If you’re not aware, that was him doing the duet with Cash on “Girl from the North Country.” Dylan is one I need to go deeper on. I know the greatest hits, but there’s a lot there. This one is a classic though.

I’ll post a bridge song today. Johnny Cash and…

Yeah, great choice James. So many to choose from.

Going with the man in black today. Soooo many great tracks to choose from. Such great storytelling with such “simple” instrumentals.

Bowie is also one of my favorite artists. Tough to choose a favorite track from him, but this one is definitely in the running.

Not much to say about this one. First heard it in Goodfellas and then later in life learned about Harry Nilsson. So a little Nilsson Schmilsson today:

Lorenzo Colombo has been insanely clinical this season. Well done!

Yeah, and he was a last minute pickup to start the season and he’s still on my transfer list.

Took me a while to give Bruce a shot, but glad I did. Too bad I never saw him live though. This one isn’t my favorite track, but one of them:

My father is always amazed that I know my fair share of music from the 60s and 70s. He’s more a 50s guy himself and Buddy Holly was always his favorite. Anyway, he’s probably most amazed that I know more Everly Brothers tunes than he does. The Everlys are one of my favorites and a big influence on a lot of bands. As successful as they were, I just wonder if they could have been a bit more if the music scene hadn’t changed and some personal life issues hadn’t got in the way, and yet they’re one of the most influential acts ever.

First track has one of their biggest hits, but the second track is arguably my favorite from them. Don’t get me wrong, I love the first track as well. Backing band are The Crickets, Buddy Holly’s Crickets shortly after he’d died.

Adding the studio version for some of the instrumentals.

QUIZ, and not cheating, much to my surprise the Everlys are not the most successful duo. Do you know who is?

Not the best band from the Manchester area, but one of them and definitely better than Oasis if you ask me. Curious what they would have done without that first hiatus.

We’ll get even more “current” today with my favorite “current” artists in Fleet Foxes. They’ve had an incredible run thus far without a single bad album. I saw them when they toured for their first full length album. If you like folk you’ll probably like them, but they’re much more than just that. Here’s one of their early tracks:

[BLAUGRANA]

We’ll get a little closer to current today. I liked them when they landed it big, but apart from the first album didn’t listen to more than the hits. Then lost track of them a bit and so I missed on out on this one for a few years, but love this track.
