Saturday Matinee – This Is Hormel (1964), The Rave-Ups, Tom Waits, Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood, and Freddie King

Everything you ever wanted to know about Hormel… up to 1964. [h/t SL]

The Rave-Ups got some traction for their work in the movie Pretty In Pink (1986). Their cover of the Byrds‘ You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere is pretty good, too.

Tom Waits does rockabilly his way, and the intro on his live version is pure awesome.

Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood tell the truth (2009).

Any Freddie KIng jam makes me smile, and Boogie Funk (ca. 1968) matches what’s been going on in my brain lately. (I’m not sure that’s the correct song title – it might be Feelin’ Good.)

Have a great weekend, we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Wow! I haven’t thought about the Rave Ups for a long time. I bought the vinyl album “Town and Country” when it was first released back in the mid eighties for the song “Positively Lost Me”………

  The Rave-Ups should have had more success. I bought the “Town and Country” LP also after hearing Rave Up / Shut Up (and not because of that stupid Molly Ringwald movie). Those guys rocked, but I guess they didn’t fit in with the other stuff that was being hyped in 1985.
  
  “Looks like a local lass – she got a buck for gas?” Awesome.

    By the way, there’s a Yardbirds tribute band out there calling themselves The Rave Ups. Not the same. OURS has a hyphen.
