Music we like

[Grogan]

It's time for a music thread, we don't have one yet.

I'll kick this off with something I discovered randomly in the youtube feed. I'd never heard of them before. I really liked this, with little squawk box amplifiers and distortion pedals... it makes me wish I was young again. (i.e. this is like being over at your friends place with people jamming and shit). I went and found the studio version, which is more refined etc. but I don't like it as much as this one. The reason is they had to scale back what they brought for this video session.

Skeleton Krew - Morning Star ("House of Mariposa" channel)

Not bad

Here's one I recently rediscovered, I hadn't heard it in probably decades:

[Grogan]

Ahh, the Doobie Brothers. I haven't heard that in a while either.

[Jan_19]

Hey I like both of those! I'll join in and you'll probably not expect this is a song I would like, but I do. I like the video too. You'll either love it or hate it. Give it a chance, you got to give it a few seconds. See what ya think. Yayyy Yelawolf!

[Grogan]

That kind of turns into like redneck rap or something

(I don't mind it)

[Jan_19]

That's exactly right! I think that is what I like about it. I'm not a big fan of rap, in fact most of it I don't like. Some of it is ok and mixed in with the "redneck" here makes me like this song.

[Zema Bus]

Different, but not bad

[Grogan]

That's what I appreciated about it, that it was different. It didn't tweak any musical emotions or anything though.

I generally don't like "Rap" EXCEPT for some of the nasty, funny rhymes. I don't care for the monotonous musical character of it, just the recitation and the beat kind of just goes along with it.

When my nephew was about 10, he said to me "I met a girl from Hawaii... I put it in her ass and she said Aieeeeee". One his friends at school was reciting that lol. Oh man, that just smashed my funny bone. That they thought up something nasty that rhymed with Hawaii. I don't know what the song is (he does) but that cracked me up, especially "out of the mouths of babes" so to speak.

These folks are a cover band, a group of dads and their daughters (hence the name, Foxes and Fossils). They are fabulous musicians, who, in many cases reproduce the music they are doing, better than the original artists.

For example, this is the absolute best rendition of "Angel From Montgomery" that I have ever heard. The harmony is goosebump inducing.

She makes a bit of a speech about John Prine at the start, jump through it if uninterested.



The Eagles, Seven Bridges Road. I'm not an Eagles fan but that's a good song, and these people blow it right out of the water. This is just too good.



A bit more upbeat, this is an incredibly good performance of "The Go Go's - Our Lips are Sealed". It looks like an older one. The dad makes a good vocal backing in this one a bit later in the song. Wow.



They can even mimic Crosby Stills Nash and Young

[Zema Bus]

They're pretty good. I listened to the first one, I'll listen to the others later.

[Jan_19]

Oh yeah, I like the Angel From Montgomery too! She's a cute gal with a really good voice. I have to listen to the others also later this evening.

Laughing at your nephew story. We never know what to expect from these kids..... I think that's funny too and I can see you getting a big kick out of it.
