Saturday Matinee: Nana, Pink, Eric & Ma
Saturday, 10 January 2009This video sums up my attitude for the last few weeks. Thank God that there are people like raincoaster to find and approves gems like this. Okay. Next.
Pink Floyd was at their best in the early/mid 1970′s, at least until “Animals” came out. Speaking of Animals…
Eric Burdon was a classic. What a gloriously depressing song of frustration and hope against reality and cool chord patterns and stuff. [That was snarkasm.] Gotta deal with what’s coming down, y’all.
Okay, I could fill up this post with a big ‘ol honkin’ wad of Eric Burdon and the Animals, Eric Burdon & War, but you can easily googoyle them for yourselves. Lets talk about one of their 1967 hits, “See See Rider” instead.
It was a ripoff of Ma Rainey/others. C.C. Rider, according to Bunk’s sources, referred to the Chitlin’ Circuit bluesplayers’ route through the south.
Couldn’t find Ma Rainey’s version of C.C. Rider, but here’s this excellent and nasty “Booze & Blues.”
