Howdy all

Today I saw  video a mate of mine posted and had to share it, Hipsters on Cafe Racers to the tune of Chris Rea Road to Hell.

The Bird is well Ropey, I was laughing my socks off watching this, no idea where this came up and see a few faces I know from Back home but It just made me crack up today, so sit back and get the cringe Meter out as it will go off the peg! No Skid Lids and riding with your Gob open is a nice invite for any insect to enter for a look. LOL!

Below is Imelda May- Ireland’s Gorgeous Rocking Singer, – I hear many complain that she has sold out, changed her image and style, but I think many people forget.

imelda1

 

She is a musician, she is finding her own way, her own route in the life of a music icon and I wish her all the luck in the world, although she is Irish and has plenty of luck of her own.

imelda2

Sure I miss that Ram Horn Hair style but I still dig her and good on her for following her dream,.

Recorded by Channel 4 Back home in 2013 Imelda lets you into her life and music tastes as well as influences.

Good Luck Imelda I am sure you will Rock the world even more, such an awesome talent and write her own material too.

Thanks for reading my Blog today, have fun with what you do.

Hey there you lot

Some people ask me what songs I like, I have a varied range of interests in the Rockabilly, Rhythm and Blues, Country and even Cajun, I shall add some somgs I like Old and New and maybe you will enjoy these.

 

Back in the day when I was going to my first Rock N Roll weekenders in 82, Below is the song Zodiac- by the Rhythm Hawks and is about their Ford Zodiac, I had a Consul and a Zephyr but the Zodiac was like the Cadillac of fords back then.

That was a toe tapping song and that brings me right up to date and this time it is with this great young and up coming band called The Runawayz and are doing their version of it.

Now Steve Gibbons Band did this song when I was young and impressionable and I really wanted a BSA when I first heard this hit. I can hear Ronnie dawsons style in this.

The Kabooms from Argentina with a great tune. ” I got News for you”

Next up back home in UK is:
BOPFLIX SESSION with THE DOEL BROTHERS (UK) performing track ‘Futile Blues’, out on El Toro Records. Filmed in Alton, UK (Feb, 2017).

Awesome grungy sounds of the Delta Bombers.

Here is a wicked video filmed at my mates Vinyl shop in Camden. BOPFLIX SESSION with Sarah Vista performing new track ‘I Wish You Hell’, out now on 45′ on Gallow Romantic Records! Filmed at Sounds That Swing (No Hit Records), Camden, London (2016).

Now the Pringles are from japan and Bopflix recorded this, awesome to see.

‘Coming In Hot’ Pat Capocci RUBY RECORDS (bopflix sessions) BOPFLIX is a superb song as Pat is one of them Natural old style Rockin voices you will eat up.

Tuesday- Toe Tapping Time

Posted on by Steve Carpenter
01 Mar

Happy Tuesday, I am not into politics so no radio on at the shop today but thought I would at least offer some sounds that I particularly like and thought that maybe you may enjoy some of the sounds that make my toes tap whilst i am doing stuff in and around the workshop.

Below is a video from Sheffield’s Epileptic Hillbilly’s. I suppose its a bit of a twisted love song listen and watch and it will all come together. This video was conceived and put together in about 6 days, I turned up with my camera thinking i was going to just film some test shots and we ended up filming the whole thing then and there. Steve recons he’s gonna get an oscar for this performance cocky twat! haha!

 

Another British group this time Mad Jack and the Hatters with their 2nd Video from UK Rockabilly band ‘Mad Jack & The Hatters’. The Video was Filmed and Directed by Marc Price & Dominic Brunt, Edited by Dominic Brunt. Guest starring Jo-Ann Mitchell. The song is from the Album ‘ Beware Of The Dog’ on Popeye Records. It is available now on Vinyl / Cd or Download. Find Tunes, Pictures, Tour dates and more at www.madjackandthehatters.com

Below is The Lucky Bullets – Midnight Treat recorded in Berlin.

This time from Norway the Lucky Bullets and Fire down below!

This vid got deleted from youtube at some point. So here it is again. It was made at Fiskå pub, in Norway. The song was The Lucky Bullets contribution for the Norwegian Euro Vision Song Contest 2011. We came 3rd. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!

Some tunes to blow away the cold blues.

Saturday, its a little cooler today but not like back home for sure and to remind me of the cold and wet of jolly old England, here is some cool stuff I know that you will enjoy if you are interested in rhythm and blues.

 

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is a name I am sure you would of not heard of, she was to me, one of the best Blues- Gospel artists who never got the recognition of her skills. Elvis Presley adorned her Music, Chuck Berry listened and learned from her chords, this Black woman from the USA started this style of picking that nobody had ever heard before.
For me, she was and always will be “The Godmother of Rock n roll”

 

 

Below we start of with her on a British tour and yes in the wind and the rain, she still entertained the crowd and gets right into er guitar, not many would even do that today, so sit back and enjoy the talents of Rosetta and her booming Vocal chords.

I will never tire of her classic songs that are delivered with more punch than Mike Tyson, what a thunderous champion of the Blues.

cropped-shout-it-out-sister

So I sure hope not only are you amazed to not of heard of this wonderful lady, but with any luck like me, you will stop and think that she deserves so much recognition into the Rock n Roll hall of fame.

 

 

I was amazed by her power of her vocal chords, she also was a great guitar player and just had that natural ability to pull in the crowd, you cannot help but love this woman, I was blown away by her presence and musical talent.


So here is a documentary if you are hooked like i was many years ago, this will tell you all about this wonderful lady of the Blues!

Enjoy.
