Classic Musics - "Traveling Wilburys"
One of the greatest compilation bands to ever evolve. I have been listening to these guys since I was a kid and their music never gets old. If you have never heard of them check them out at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_Wilburys
Lyric Sample: "Tweeter and the Monkey Man"
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout course he went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99
Classic Musics - "Long John Baldry"
Another classic artist who is no longer with us unfortunately. He did early last year in British Columbia. He has written many wonderful songs and here is a taste of the lyrics:
Lyric Sample: "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock & Roll"
Don't you feed me no TV dinners when you know I'm used to steak
I don't need no rank beginners when it's time to shake that shake
You better pull your thing together, reach in and dust it out
And if ya feel that you just can't dig it then I guess you know the route
It ain't a matter of pork 'n beans that's gonna justify your soul
Just don't try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll.
I enjoy music that has a different approach, it tells a story. These songs push more towards folk music I suppose. On a final note long live the Moody Blues.
Enjoy the music and be good everyone.
White Knight,
