Saturday Matinee – Fresh Guacamole, Freshlyground, Leon Russell & Friends
[h/t Bunkarina for finding this.]
“Pot Belly,” recorded in 2007 by South African band Freshlyground. Nice song with a cool video [via].
Here’s Freshlyground live with “Fire Is Low” from 2011.
Leon Russell celebrated his 71st birthday 2 April. From the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, here’s his take on the Stones‘ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and The Coasters‘ “Young Blood.”
The event was the first-ever benefit concert of such a magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, the band Badfinger, Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan [Wiki].
With that, we’re out of here. Have a great weekend folks.
Saturday Matinee – Dehydrated Peeps, Monochrome Dance, Musical Genius / Sex Symbol Earl Okin & Johnny Burnette
Just add water.
Both vids above h/t Aussie Phil
Earl Okin is almost as seductive as Leon Redbone (sorry, Earl).
Nice vid compilation of Johnny Burnette‘s version of Tiny Bradshaw‘s classic “Train Kept A Rollin'” previously featured here.
Have a great weekend folks. Whether you’re religious or not, never forget the meaning of Easter.
