Mouth Breather Posts: 10,326 Group: Members Member #13 Joined: September 3, 2005	I'll play -- 1.) My Cousin In Milwaukee -- Ella Fitzgerald (From the Gershwin Songbook) 2.) I Don't Talk Too Much -- Martha Nelson ("You say I talk too much but you can yak quite a bit yourself") 3.) Mississippi Jail House Groan -- Rube Lacy (It's there because I never have been able to make out the words) 4.) Beat It -- Michael Jackson (Just uploaded the Thriller album yesterday.) 5.) Rebound -- Charlie Rich (I'll never get enough Sun records) 6.) Dolce de Coco -- Yo Yo Ma with Paquito d'Rivera (A ravishing cut from the Obrigado Brasil album) 7.) Big Mouth Blues -- Gram Parsons. (former outtake, now on the Complete Reprise Recordings -- sort of a sister song for "Sin City") I have 6192 songs on my I Pod, so it's kinda interesting that this list has so much good stuff, altho Dolce de Coco is the only one I'd call great. Woops, here come 7 more: 1.) My Ship -- Wesla Whitfield (fine version of the Kurt Weill song by San Francisco's boss diva) 2.) I'm In Love -- Wilson Pickett (one of those perfect singles Atlantic used to toss out every week -- lots of fine session guys in NYC!) 3.) Baby Brown -- Fats Waller (radio transcription, not the RCA single) 4.) Get Down, Get Down -- Joe Simon ("It ain't no harm to do the bump...") 5.) No School Bus In Heaven -- The Stanley Brothers (topical ballad about a Kentucky school bus wreck) 6.) Meeting Tonight -- Rev. James Cleveland (hardcore black gospel) 7.) Suavecito -- Malo ('70's barrio soul number) Oh no! Here come 7 more: 1.) Love Making Music -- Barry White (Who IS that drummer?) 2.) I May Be Easy, But I'm No Fool -- Cootie Williams (Capitol used to churn out hip sides like this when Johnny Mercer ran the place, pre-Beatles) 3.) Side By Side -- Ray Charles and Betty Carter (number with a breakneck tempo from a magnificent album) 4.) Okie From Muskogee -- Merle Haggard (still liking living right and being free -- he's a neighbor here in Butte County) 5.) King Harvest -- The Band (Levon Helm sings beautifully and plays the hell out of the drums at the same time on this live cut from Rock of Ages) 6.) Nina -- Noel Coward (a little change of pace here. I'm all about cabaret. This may be the only song that rhymes 'sluts' with 'nuts.') 7.) Liberty -- The Skillet Lickers (pro-moonshiner song from North Georgia's original Punk Rockers, circa 1928) This is fun! I note looking over the 21 selections that there isn't a single Kiddie Pop tune. Guess I musta outgrew it.
