Just a few tunes on the net I have seen and like.

Well, its Hump day, and seeing as the next day is Thanksgiving, some of you may have some time on your hands whilst everyone else is asleep from eating too much Turkey.

So what I have done here is a compilation of music I have liked on the internet, and hopefully there may be one there you will like.

Below, this old geezer knocked up a guitar out of timber from the Barn door to a tree outside and boy that Blues Slide is a great riff.

Now below is the unbelievable Samantha Fish- She sure can play Blues slide and I loved this rendition of “Shake Them All Down”
This song Rocks!

OK Below is Little Toby Lee, this kid can shred like the best and what a great Dedicational play to Malcom Young of AC/DC, this kid is Dynamite. I so wish I had a millionth of this lads talent, so super cool what a brilliant guy and good luck to him, not that he needs it, such passion for playing.

What I wanted to show was just sheer talent at any level, I wanted to play the drums and thought I would be great, I mean I can tap a pencil to anything, had a go and what the heck, the coordination is so hard and if I had a hat on, I would take it off to ALL drummers, so this chap Below is Jordan Cannata and this 3 minutes of drumming is super cool.
You may not like Drums but you cannot get away from this guys speed and dexterity, Right on mate.

Next up is a buddy of mine who I knew back home in London, he has a great band and this is just part of the things he can do, Dean has been playing since he was knee high, this song. The Black Tibetans – “Esmae” was recorded about 7 years ago but still rocks, Dean also is the Co Founder of Dice Magazine.

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.

Toe Tapping Tunes for Thursday

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).

Toe Tapping tunes for Thursday!

I have always been into Music, and love Rockabilly, Rhythm & Blues, Surf, jive, and garage etc.
So-here is a great Russian instrumental you may like.
The band is called Messer Chups with their version of Surf Riders From The Swamp Lagoon (Full Album)

Just some background music for you today with some alternative garage rock, you may even like some of these tunes..

But I have always followed the Blue Cats since about 1983 and even today they just ROCK!

 

Crazy French song makes me laugh!

Not much to say here but happy Saturday, My girl goes to Alaska with her mum today and I needed something to cheer me up for a week, these crazy frogs cracked me up, I loved it.

Thought I would put this on the blog for today enjoy!

 

if you havent had enough, watch the video, they are Nuts– love it!!

Another fun Video is “Frantic by PowerSolo.

Now their version of Juanito.

The Black Tibetans- Awesome Band and a Mate of mine.

 

Los Angeles, CA –   Formed in 2011, the three-piece Rock N’ Roll machine consists of Dinst (vocals/guitar), Tammi Tibetan (bass), and Ryan KH (drums).  The Black Tibetans fuse motorcycle-centric culture with old-school sound combining elements of classic Rock N’ Roll, blues and punk influences.  The Black Tibetans have been on countless tours and have shared the stage with bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Eagles of Death Metal, Brody Dalle (The Distillers), Social Distortion, The Supersuckers and more.

The Black Tibetans have had the opportunity to make an impression on the fans of many.  Through this, they have earned a fan base of their own that continues to grow.  With three records and working with well-established musicians in the industry, The Black Tibetans are destined to make a name for themselves. Their most recent release,  The Nashville Session produced by Dan Auerbach is out now and available for download on iTunes.

I have Known the Singer  for many years and have to say that this is one of the best Raw, 60’s style  Garage heavy Guitar groups I have heard in a long time and a well worth a look, their Music is their own style of old and New and if I had a hat on, I would tip it their way.

Try and get to see these Trio of mayhem and raunchy style music, their music is available on I-tunes and well worth some of that hard earned coinage that you lot acquire.

If you want entertainment at its very best, there is no other Band I would rather see right now than The Black Tibetans. ” dalai lama “.

Sheila

Back in 2011 they recorded this track and really put them on the map, turn the Volume up as you will dig this hard core in your face track named “Esmae”

Even earlier in 20120 here is their kicking track “Well it’s a Rock N Roll Party on a Saturday night.

I have known the lead singer for over 20 years and so stoked that he continues to do his thing, the love of music, Motorcycles and the Vintage clothing image that never goes out of style. 10 out of 10 to you all and keep thrashing out these Killer tracks!

 

 

Keep Rockin it mate.

 

Check their tour dates out on Facebook too as they will be heading to the UK soon.

Friday the 13th but a good day at the shop

OK- its Friday and its also Friday the 13th but a good one, the sun is out, the shop is busy and its almost the weekend.
A number of things going on where we are in this sunny state. SoCal speed shop and Waldens have their Open days, limeworks was yesterday and he had a blast, and the start of the Fathers day Roadster show is on in Pomona, as well as at Fontana, Our shop greaser is racing his Kawasaki in the summit series and also racing against his old man, which is great as it will be fathers day, so maybe kota will give him some slack?…NOT!

Ok I like to put Music videos on that cheer my day up and some of you like them by the emails we get here at CCR, so here is a great band, the Reverend Horton heat, who plays down here on a regular basis.
So check this high def video out called “let me teach you how to eat” Bit risque but great for a Friday.

Below is a video from Danny Rockabilly and His Clan-Dirty Baby Music Video and its a new upbeat tempo that i really dig, the riffs are pretty reminisant of early Sun recordings and I just like it and thought would share wit you.

Massive part of my life for over 3 decades and I lived the whole lifestyle, I loved the music clothes the jiving, we sure had a ball back in the UK in the 80’s and 90’s, this was a 5 night a week lifestyle for me and good old Ronnie dawson was a superb guy that was taken away from us waaaay to early.
This is just a smidgen of what we did.

HAPPY FRIDAY- Just some Tunes for ya!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE !


Well, this time has already got here fast and I thought I would add some cool tracks that I really dig, you may not like any of them, but I love stuff like this.
My Mate Geordie Paul sent me this one and I love the track, as well as the cool filler in the screen, just ROCKS!
So, sound up, and kick back to relive the stress of the day.

And below Curtis Gordon singing Draggin- one of my all time favorite rockin Tunes.
