Saturday Matinee – The Black Hole, Carolyn Wonderland, The Henrik Freischlader Trio & The Gary Hoey Band

The Black Hole (UK, 2008) is a short film starring Napoleon Ryan and a hole, directed by Phil Sampson and Olly Williams (Phil and Olly) who may or may not have been fans of Warner Bros. cartoons.

“Carolyn Wonderland  describes herself as ‘a guitarist in a roomful of singers and a singer in a roomful of guitarists,’ was recently called ‘one of Texas’ finest Americana guitar-slingers’ by her hometown newspaper, The Austin American-Statesman.” – Alligator Records

The Henrik Freischlader Trio plays some damn good funkified blues. Freischlader is a German blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Wuppertal, Germany.

Gary Hoey was in diapers when the Chantays recorded their 1962 classic, and he rips it up with respect.

Way too much happened this past week. I think some of the sensory overload is intentional and unnecessary, but we’ll cope.
Porch. Tomorrow. Noonish.

Saturday Matinee – Alt Math, Rag’n’Bone Man & Tom Waits

This is scary. The Correct Answer Is 22.

Rag’n’Bone Man‘s cover of the Stones “Gimme Shelter” is killer.

More about that talented Brit via Wiki:

Rag’n’Bone Man’s first hit single, “Human“, was released on Columbia Records in July 2016. It peaked at number one in the Official Singles Charts in Austria, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. It was certified Gold in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland.

That’s is an entirely different version and a precursor to the one I’m familiar with:

Tom Waits is amazing.

Have a great weekend, folks, and for Fathers’ Day, buy your Dad a big bacon cheeseburger with fries and a pint of stout. He’ll love it, despite what your Mom says about it causing tumors in rats.
