Very cool song.

I've been listening to Bohren & der Club of Gore's "Sunset Mission" album a lot while walking lately at night. I love this album. It reminds me a lot of Blue Velvet. Very cool stuff.

"I Put a Spell On You" - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Simultaneously creepy and amazing. Awesome.

Pearl Bailey - 16 Most Requested Songs - 1991 - **

[Image: f60020o8oly.jpg]

Records, film, broadway, tv, Pearl could do it all. Although her recording career was not that spectacular as far as sales, she was a draw on the night club circuit. Her standing in the jazz community was huge. Started recording professionaly in the 40's and had her only top 10 hit in 1952, with Takes Two To Tango, which is not on this compilation. This is still a very good perspective, but only covers the Columbia years, 1945-1950. Teaming up with Moms Mabley and Hot Lips Page are some classics.

It's a German re-release of his 1991 Warsaw Jazz Jamboree Concert.

I'm currently listening to Renée Live: December 17/18, 1982

[Image: Renee_Geyer_-_Renee_Live.gif]

This big (around 6ft) Aussie Soul/Blues singer headed for the States in the eighties and tried to make a name for herself. Unfortunately, her first album was getting great airplay on the 'Black' FM Stations until they caught sight of the cover and discovered she wasn't 'Black' as assumed but a big, white, Jewish Aussie chick and the airplay immediately ceased.
She did stay and became a fixture on the 'Session Scene' as a backing vocalist. She can be heard on Sting's version of Little Wing.

Currently listening to this little gem from my mate, Seth Rochford and his band from New York State Bernie Clarke & the Rhythm Sharks

Love it Seth old mate. Great versions of some great songs, some great originals and, as I said earlier, 'a real gem'! [Image: wink.gif]
