SOUL SACRIFICE-- SANTANA-- They blew away half a million people just a few weeks ago at Woodstock and now their debut album is out. From San Francisco, California. Closing track.
THE NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-- At this time, many of us had the new CCR album in our collections. It's their third album called "Green River, and there's this old blues classic done up CCR-style. (I'd already put my $5 down for the album. One of the Delta Sigs four main albums played at all parties.)
SWEET CAROLINA-- NEIL DIAMOND-- One of his biggest hits to date. ("Sweet Caroline, Dah, dah, dah." Come on and sing the call-and answer.)
WHAT KIND OF FOOL DO YOU THINK I AM-- BILL DEAL & THE RHONDELLS-- They call it Beach Music down in the Carolinas, their third hit in 1969. Originally dome by the Tams in the early 60s. (And I didn't even know it was Beach Music I was listening to in North Carolina back then. I'm a big-time Beach Music fan nowadays.)
GET TOGETHER-- YOUNGBLOODS-- rising up the charts in the Top Ten, a band that relocated from Boston to the west coast. This is Jesse Collin Young and the Youngbloods. (This song pretty well sums up the sixties for me.)
THE SOFT PARADE-- DOORS-- New album "The Soft Parade" at their progressive peak with the title track.
HONKY TONK WOMEN-- ROLLING STONES-- (Always reminds me of cruising down roads around Wayne County, North Carolina on a long trip to that state to visit family. Great use of a cow bell.)
YOU, I-- RUGBYS-- a Canadian band (I consider this one of the great garage rock songs ever.)
More to Come. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
