ocean of fire

Here is a track especially for Fire of Love who particularly liked the last Jimmy Martin post.

Jimmy Martin Ocean of Diamonds mp3
He was a great tenor who sang lead vocal with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. I came across him whilst watching the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band DVD Will the Circle...and his performance was up there with all the countrry icons.
Right i am really off to Krakow now and will be out of posting reach for a few days...but hey...i have my mp3 with loads of countrry sounds to keep me amused. adios.

krakow keith countrry

I am on holiday from tomorrow for a week in Krakow so will not be posting any fantastic music. I watched the CMA Awards on the TV the other night from New York and it was damn good!!! My fave act was a bit of a shock...it was Faith Hill and hubby Tim McGraw , followed by Keith Urban. I am a yeehaw kinda countrygrrl but my mobile phone with the inbuilt torch was held aloft in my living room as these fine tracks blasted out at full volume.
However, I am going trad here with a tune from the wonderful Jimmy Martin.Jimmy is up there in the big countrry coral in the sky and will still be known as the King of Bluegrass I am sure.

whilst waiting for a kettle to boil for my camonmile tea my ears were arrested and my body rocked and rolled into magical shapes...yes..honest whilst listening to this track at ear blood spurting volume..aaagh pop is alive and you don't need to purchase an Abba or Robbie disc to know this, Formed in 1993, Sister Hazel is an acoustic jangle-pop band based in Gainesville, Florida, go boys...this is them doing a fab rock out meltdown kind of westlife meets stereophonics cutting round the pasture and saying hi to a david gray...it's late so maybe my ears are out of commission, but this is worth a click onto your hard drive and then a quick shifty to the record store virtual or otherwise...

fountain of beef

It seems that Scotland's top Butcher has been fined a measly £5,000.Simon Howie Butchers - which supplies supermarket chains and Gleneagles Hotel - was fined for discharging prepared raw and cooked meat products into the Latch Burn in Perthshire. The effluent caused high pollution readings and could have had a knock-on effect on fish, The company has an annual turnover of £7 million !!!! Something a bit awry there me thinks...only a drop in the sewage pipe...

Bob Dylan God Knows live Mp3 in Galgary Alberta.year unknown.
Just seen Ozzy Osbourne shuffling on screen and it made me think of the time I saw the band at Greens Playhouse in Glasgow back in the 70's . I was in the second row , well by the end of the gig, there was no second row as it had been totally trashed. Everybody including my good self had stood on the backs of the fixed chairs and headbanged along to the next track..slowly ..and caused the seats to disintegrate ..and rip up from their bolts.. they collapsed and it was then total mayhem...can't imagine that happening at a Babyshambles concert...too much designer gear for total meltdown.....
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath mp3
This trip down memory lane has thrown up this track ..get it whilst you can. Remember, all these music posts are to get you to purchase the artist's material, so if what you hear rocks your duvet, support these artists..even if they are in the record deck in the sky. Some family member is probably depending on the cheque.

grrls cloaking crackers

I have been having a massive tidy out and came across an envelope of ticket stubs for gigs that i went to aeons ago. I saw Led Zepplin for one pound sterling. !!! The support was grrrl outfit Fanny. I can still remember June Millington and her gang disrobing out of black cloaks into scanty gear that would have caused Mary Whitehouse to have a cardiac arrest . They were the first all female group to get a major record contract . June played guitar and her sister Jean was on bass .Alice de Buhr tub thumped and Nickey Barclay whaacked the keyboards .They seemingly chose 'Fanny 'because they thought it was more interesting as it could be a woman's name as well as a part of the female anatomy.
So there you go!! A bit of grrl herstorry there.
I don't have any music by the grrls these days, however David Bowie, is one of their biggest fans. He even wrote an article for Rolling Stone moaning that they were so fabbydabbydozy and seemed almost forgotten now. The press back in the early 70's treated Fanny as though they were a manufactured band, a bit like the Spice Girls today.
So for Fanny and all those grrls who kicked over the statues..Patti, Janis, Indigo's, Annie L, Billie, here is David Bowie with a faaaab live version of Heroes. Go Grrl Go!!!!!
David Bowie Heroes live acoustic mp3
i also couldn't resist posting this , I play this at FULL MEGGGGA db when driving .

And for a bonus ball, howzabout this wee cracker from another grrl of mucho talent.

Liar pants in taxi

Short post as I have been out celebrating a friends birthday and the resignation of the head honcho of the Scottish Tory Party 'Taxi for McLetchie' It is incredible how those scoundrels and bounders think we won't get a tad upset if they spend tax payers cash to get a taxi to work and visit the fairer sex again by taxi and think that the tab will be picked up by moi. So thank god for the press who will go where no MSP wants to incase their expense forms will be given the once over.
