Green Eggs And Ham, Not Bob Dylan (1997) In 1997, a 30-something music producer from Houston, Texas, produced a mashup of Bob Dylan and Dr. Seuss titled Dylan Hears a Who, a parody album that went viral online. IIRC, the estate of Dr. Seuss issued a cease and desist order based on copyright infringement, and the album / website disappeared (but not before some of us snagged it).

Saturday Matinee – Bill McClintock / Isleyhead, The Sugaray Rayford Band & The Scott Henderson Trio (+1)

Isleyhead – Ace of Shout mashup by Bill McClintock put a big grin on my face. Amazing how well it works, and McClintock’s got more. [h/t Gord S.]

Texas born Caron “Sugaray” Rayford grew up in starvation-level poverty. His mother struggled to raise three boys alone while battling cancer; when she died, the siblings were relieved. “She suffered and we suffered. Then, we moved in with my grandmother and our lives were a lot better. We ate every day and we were in church every day, which I loved. I grew up in gospel and soul.”

Speed jammin’ blues rock from Scott Henderson on guitar, Kirk Covington / drums, John Humphrey / bass, and Pat O’Brien  / harmonica.

Amazing how much news can fit into one week and my neck is stiff from the whip arounds. Looks like we’re do for some quality patio time tomorrow. See you there.

America Paz: “I spent three years playing on the street in Chile – when the video went viral my career changed.” More about her here.

Greensky BluegrassLiving Over reminds me of some of the stuff I’d listen to on early morning cross-country roadtrips many years ago.

GA-20 does a mighty fine cover of Billy The Kid Emerson‘s No Teasin’ Around (1954). I need to pay more attention to these guys from Boston.

That’ll do for this edition of The Saturday Matinee. Rock on me bloogies, have a great weekend, and we’ll think of something else to do tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Big Daddy, Big Daddy and Big Daddy

Big Daddy‘s take on Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” is pure awesome. Check out their mashup of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – you’ll love it. You might even be able to find a clean download somewhere before it’s gone (hint hint nudge nudge).

Then there’s this Big Daddy I never heard of. Pure brilliance happens within the first 60 seconds. See how long you can stand it before you click on

this. The Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Mugs mug too much, but their music is retrohot.

Nice drivin’ acoustic blues by Big Daddy Wilson, live at the Bluesmoose Café 14 March 2012, featuring
Big Daddy Wilson – vocal & percussion
Roberto Morbioli – Guitar
Detlef Blanke – Bass.

Whoa Mama! There’s a long weekend coming up. Have a great one, and be back here tomorrow if only because we told you to.
