Stuff I Do When I’m Bored
Saturday Matinee – Samantha Fish, Shovels & Rope & The Marcus King Band
Samantha Fish has been playing her cover of the Barbara Lewis’ classic for a while, but I just heard it for the first time today. There are more recent versions on the Utoobage, but I like this one the best. [h/t lobo91]
It starts out slow then throws you face down in the mud. Husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst tour forever as Shovels & Rope.
The Marcus King Band hails from Greenville, South Carolina. A fourth-generation musician, Marcus King started learning guitar at age three or four and has played professionally since he was 11. It shows.
Amazing how the weekends seem to go back to back these days… at least for me. Have a great one – howl at the moon, bark at the sunrise, laugh at life, and we’ll see you soon.
Saturday Matinee – Fishbone, Ry Cooder & Justin Johnson
Fishbone was, and is, one of the tightest high-speed ska bands I ever heard. [The above is dedicated to Professor Christine Ford, whose evil testimony under oath has been proven to be fabricated in order to impune the character of an innocent man.]
One of the best slide guitar players in the business. Ry Cooder‘s 1988 swamp rock take on Elvis‘ “All Shook Up” was awesome.
Killer stuff from Justin Johnson. Turn it up. It’s the musical equivalent to stress on the 405 through L.A. at rush hour and I love it.
Have a great weekend, folks, see you back here after I tear up my kitchen tomorrow.
