I Love 60's Rock Ballads & Dylan

Alright, no big secret I love me some good 1960's rock and roll, and of course there are some unparalleled ballads. Here is a Friday song you, for me, for us all Bob Dylan performing Just Like a Woman at the Royal Albert Concert Hall in 1966.

I also really love the Manfred Man cover of this song, and surprisingly I am not fond of the Nina Simone cover.

"I break at noon and again at nine, and heal the cracks with song and wine."

When Pom Poms, an Eletric Guitar and Drums Come Together

I bring you Scout Niblett.

Pom Poms
...and yes sometimes I do need someone to cheer my on, cheer me up, cheer me on, cheer me up--don't we all.

Here she is on the Black Cab Sessions, which I highly recommend checking out.

One more, she and Will Oldham of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Palace fame, did a couple of amazing duets, I was so lucky to get to see them perform together. Below is about the weirdest video I have ever seen, but I love the song.

Sweedeedee

Artist: Cat Power, (Chan Marshall)

Artist Inspiration: Michael Hurley

Both Chan Marshall and Michael Hurley are greta musical artists, it was a joy to find the original version of the song, it is quite different but also quite enjoyable.

Dead Man's Bones Music Post

This post is in honor of my father who sends me mix cd's and texted me last night to say, "did you know Ryan Gosling sings my favorite song".  His favorite song I know well, because he played over and over for me, and it's good,  I really like it am happy every time my iTunes shuffle lands on it, but no I did not know Ryan Gosling had a band.  Well I decided to do a little youtube perusing and found a lot of their music online. Please don't be surprised if I re-post some of this  closer to Halloween if you watch the videos you'll see why.

Name in Stone by Dead Man's Bones, there is a bit of crowd noise in the beginning but that tapers off to a great song.

And now for my Dad's favorite song, My Bodies a Zombie For You, by Dead Man's Bones.
