Too Experienced, The Bodysnatchers (1980) 2-Tone RecordsThe Bodysnatchers, an all-female rock steady group from the UK, had potential. This cover of the song written by Keith Anderson (aka Bob Andy) appeared on the B-side of their second single, fulfilling their contract with 2-Tone Records. The company folded soon after and The Bodysnatchers played their last gig in October of 1980, but morphed into The Belle Stars and signed on with Stiff Records.

Saturday Matinee – Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Leo P & Jeff Beck w/ Imelda May
I get the grins whenever I hear The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. Don’t let the silly stuff distract you; The Reverend has some killer chops.
Leo Pellegrino (of Too Many Zooz & Lucky Chops) really blows it in 2017 and breaks into Charles Mingus’ Moanin’ at about 3:14.
In 2019 Pellegrino sued Epic Games for allegedly using his likeness when designing the “Phone it in” dance emote. “Because of his externally rotatable feet, he eventually developed his own unique dancing style and his signature and original movements – viz., the Signature Move,” reads the filing.
Jeff Beck & Imelda May – great take on The Shangri-Las‘ 1964 breakout hit Remember (Walking In The Sand).

Stop Overlooking Me, The Cairos (1966)Founded in 1964, folded in 1967, Shrine Records is considered the rarest of the soul labels.
“Miss Ray, Barry Gordy‘s second wife, started Shrine Records with her new hubby after both bounced from Motown. Shrine (located in D.C.) issued the peppy “Stop Overlooking Me” b/w “Don’t Fight It” in 1966; it flopped just like the other 18 singles bearing the Shrine logo.”

Saturday Matinee – Cat City, Pinetop Perkins & Luther Johnson
Cat City (2017) by Vewn.
“I wanted to portray a world where a character’s experience in the physical world is a reflection of their emotional turmoil. In a way, it parallels my own experience of growing up and leaving home to pursue what I thought was my dream, and then slowly realizing it wasn’t what I thought it would be.”
-Victoria Vincent
Joe Willie “Pinetop” Perkins (1913-2011) passed on a year after this performance. A long time member of Muddy Waters‘ band, he recorded Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie (1953), a song originally written and recorded by Clarence “Pinetop” Smith in 1929.
Woman Don’t Lie & Somebody Loan Me A Dime – Luther Johnson, with Sonny Thompson on piano (1973). The second [3:50] is a cover of a Fenton Robinson song.
