His style and delivery made him fun to hear. I had never seen him so young.

This is completely insane! Probably not for most, piano and harp like you have never heard it before.

Wow !
So talented, and beautiful.
Hardly recognize her.

A "pop vocals" track (I guess) that was a hit for Dionne Warwick way back in 1964. But I'd not encountered a version like this before. I just stumbled upon it.

I noticed that the second of the three songs in that video is Sweet Child of Mine. I found another great cover of this Guns N' Roses song. This version kicks ass! I am not kidding!

Maiya Sykes, extraordinary vocalist creates a masterpiece like no other.

Dry leaves fly in the cold wind of November,
the air is humid and the people run to their houses... funny thing when you have a house but not a home...
not at least since she left... last cigarette boy, make it worth...
the road to home is long and maybe you're not gonna make it; at least I'll try it...
walk old man... just walk... '

This is by far the biggest song transformation,
a lot of them have epic differences but this is a whole other song completely.
I know the original well and still can't find it in here.
brilliant work. '

Tell me true,
do you hear Pink Floyd's sax riffs back in '58 ?
Released July 22, 1958 - Roulette Records, New York.

... Mary Lou - Young Jessie '55, original artist
Scoured the inet to discover the saxophonists names, to no avail.
Makes my ocd tickle, need to fill out the data matrix for the simulation, lol.

Who Dat ? Rockin Ronnie.

Something primordial in these beats, one of the very first tunes I can remember tapping my toe to.
Yeah.

Meanwhile, in Siberia...

This girl has taken her instrument so far beyond its Hindustani Classical roots. She is the embodiment of musical innovation.



Most of you will be unimpressed, but some will be mesmerized.

Not bad. They should do covers.

In the beginning I thought they were breaking into Black Betty.

The tone on that thing is sweet.

Sam Taylor (tenor sax)

"Mary Lou" and "Need Your Lovin'" were recorded along with six other titles to be included within Hawkins' first album
(Roulette R 25078 "Ronnie Hawkins") during a session on April 29, 1959 at New York's Bell Sound Studios.

The Hawks were:
Jimmy Ray Paulman (lead guitar)
Will 'Pop' Jones (piano)
Sam Taylor (tenor sax)
Levon Helm (drums)

Wow,
I can say without a doubt that the sounds of that sax is at the very heart of American music of the 20th century.
This rendition of ' Summertime ' is reminiscent of the early Bond soundtracks.
Sweet.

Same song, same city, soprano sax, 20 years earlier.

I am a huge Gershwin fan, I love the soprano sax and Bechet was a master. This recording is an absolute jazz classic.

Goin' Down Geneva - Van Morrison

'Tis the season...



...the original from 1929:

The album "My Bluegrass Heart" has been out for about a year now and has become one of my all time favorites.



Bela Fleck is an absolute musical genius, right up there with Frank Zappa.

How about Tina Guo and Mohini Dey! I did not know they ever played together. I just stumbled on this.

Back in 1975, I was just getting deeper into rock.....Including buying my first Queen album (Queen II)....

Anyway, there was an odd little song that I really enjoyed- sounded a bit like old Doowop.....Pete Wingfield, "Eighteen with a Bullet"

Go ahead, tell me she is "Just like (fill in the blank)".
Every time I listen to her, I am left speechless.



...and because it is Halloween:

These guys have been around since the 1970s. Probably the best band you've never heard.

I don't think I have ever listened to them before. They are tight.
I don't recall ever seeing anyone swap humbuckers into a Ric.

Machine Head
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar
Jon Lord - Keyboards, Organ
Ian Paice - Drums
Ian Gillan - Vocals
Roger Glover - Bass Guitar

Recommend replay, it still works !

So there is something to be said for the proposal for a big block Fiero.
...Somewhere off in the misty past obscured by hazy clouds, are the plans for such a ' Highway Star '.

How about some jazz vibes from Mariya Kamysheva:

Whose voice is this?
That dares to wake us angels
arresting our slumber suddenly
The distant bells can be heard
as if an invisible hand struck them
Such melody soared through the heavens
where we nest
We awoke and came down to listen
and stayed for a while
our hearts were touched
and our eyes glistened
The Creator called us back
but we shan't forget what we heard
Even here where joy is eternal

Let's kick off Saturday night with 85 minutes of smokin' Pedal Steel from Sarah Jory.



Because that video can't be embedded, here is one that can.

I don't know how to exactly define a "Heavy song" but Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" is very.....Heavy;
