Boombada, Les Baxter (1960) From the great 1988 compilation album Swing For A Crime, this recording includes an intro clip from The Big Heat (1953), featuring Lee Marvin being firm but gentle, and then just firm.

Seahorse.

It was hot.

Dot Matrix.

Quiet modesty.

Do the Electric Clam.

Advertising honesty.

Saturday Matinee – Rising Appalachia, Little Feat (w/ Lowell George), and Moreland & Arbuckle

Such a pretty sound. Rising Appalachia plays roots-based music righteously.

Little Feat, with founder Lowell George and Mick Taylor sitting in, live in London 1977.

“Where Zeppelin meets Son House.”
Moreland & Arbuckle were a trio consisting of Aaron Moreland on box guitar, Dustin Arbuckle on harp, Kendall Newby drums. Active from 2001-2017, they’re still performing, with different bands and lineups.

Gonna be a long hot (and probably loud) weekend given Independence Day on schedule for Tuesday. Don’t blow your wad of Black Cats too soon and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
