When you look on the InterWebs for the top 100 folk songs of all time you generally wont find the Indigo Girls "Closer to Fine". However, for me, that song makes it into the top ten of all-time folk songs.

Music Whenever Santana Soul Sacrifice

12.19 in Boat Plans, music, sacrifice, santana, soul, whenever
Nostalgia. In college I didnt have a LP player but I did own a couple of LPs. Santanas "Soul Sacrifice" was at the top of my play list, the album rapidly overplayed into pops and hisses (Jethro Tull and Its a Beautiful Day LPs close behind). Here is the title song from Santanas album as performed at Tanglewood in 1970. Excuse me now while I get up and dance away (well at least the old fart bob up and down).

Music Whenever The Speakeasies Swing Band Theme from Godfather

12.07 in band, Boat Plans, from, godfather, music, speakeasies, swing, the, theme, whenever
The Star Wars movie series is fun - at least the recent one matches the first three in touching all the buttons - but, lets be honest, still sci-fi fluff. But the Godfather, the Dark Side not as a caricature, but the Dark Side we can relate too, the one that is embedded into our brain as the true dichotomy, the statement of the paradox of the human animal.
A great cover of the Godfather theme, the wistful, tender, but ultimately boppy love song (lyrics by Larry Kusik, and music by Nino Rota) underpinning a movie about the battle of the black souls, call them anti-heroes, but seared into our culture nonetheless..

Music Whenever Lord Huron Fool for Love
0
16.46 in Boat Plans, fool, for, huron, lord, love, music, whenever
During early summer, this song was getting a lot of play time on the local WHFS station. The song is about a crazy-in-love lunk who goes after the girl only to get the crap beat out of him by her bigger and more violent boyfriend. So, in this song, we have an underdog who loses big time. Despite the outcome, the song is still one of my favorites of 2015.

One of the small cadre of readers, who actually likes my music posts, requested I put up another one. Since I get few requests for anything on this blog, I am happy to oblige.
Here is a well-done, with the band having a lot of fun, acoustic cover of the a-ha song "Take On Me".

In the depths of winter, where the winter sun is wan and disappears fast and the cold keeps coming; nothing like a boozy and/or reefer madness, let-it-all hang out, sing-along to raise the spirits.
Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, The Old Crow Medicine Show, and others join together in a joyous hoedown of the classic gospel song, "This Train is Bound for Glory". Join me in singing and smiling to the computer.

This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train is bound for glory,
Dont carry nothing but the righteous and the holy.

This train dont carry no gamblers, this train;

This train is leaving in the morning, this train.

Great God Almighty, a new day is dawning!

Music Whenever Valentines Day 2015

07.05 in 2015, Boat Plans, day, music, valentines, whenever
In the ancient history of this blog (2009, 2010), I used to post a couple of love song videos for Valentines Day. It was something that fell by the wayside but, for 2015, at least for this year, Im bringing the tradition back.
Click here if you want to see my previous Valentines Day posts.
Lets start with the popular Passenger (aka Mike Rosenberg) "Hearts on Fire".
Adam Baldwin with the slow-dance tune "Love You With My Eyes Closed".
ADAM BALDWIN - Love You With My Eyes Closed from Southern Souls on Vimeo.
And a R and B tune; Lee Fields and The Expressions, "Youre the Kind of Girl".
Oops! My lovely wife is questioning me about an unexplained charge that just showed up on our credit card bill. Gotta go!

For that very small, loose-knit group of Earwigoagin readers who are interested in my occasional music selections; an Americana folk foursome.
First up, as pointed out to me by my good friend Ed Salva, a blues tune set to the beat of an ancient steam engine.
My favorite bluegrass duo, Mandolin Orange, with a Bob Dylan cover, Boots of Spanish Leather.
A folk tune I never tire of, The Stable Song by Gregory Alan Isakov.
Finally, Love Aint Enough by the Barr Brothers.
