I actually enjoy this faster paced version more than Ray Wylie Hubbard's, but I love both of them.
Whatcha Listening To?

Today this song is largely unnoticed with all the country music piping out of folks speakers. It would have been a banger back in the day. The guitar mid song it pretty darn good.

Finishing up painting a Moor Hen decoy, and this CD fits the time & space of the day.

Big Star is commonly referred to as the greatest band you've never heard. For certain you've heard the acts they influenced. I wish I had found them in my youth but maybe I listen more closely these days to appreciate them.

You going? I've seen them on social media but don't have any of their music. I mentioned the show to my kids and they didn't recognize them. That surprised me.

I didn't, Eric. They just popped up on my YouTube, and I noticed they were doing a concert in Grant.
In high school I don't remember a single friend of mine listening to Blue Oyster Cult. They knew who they were but nobody was in to them. I thought they were better than most of the metal bands getting played at the time. Maybe their lyrics were a bit too disparate.

This won't be for everyone's taste buds, but IMO, White Stripes and The Black Keys are the two best 2-member bands. Witness:
Both have such good music, if you've never partook of their albums. Jack White went out on his own after White Stripes called it quits. He is up there with the GOATs.

Speaking of GOATS, it's pretty hard to beat Mark Knopfler as a lead guitarist. I've had this long and live version of Sultans of Swing on regular rotation in the truck for long drives to trout ponds recently.

And I will never forget my first rock concert, age 14 or 15, when the Moody Blues had a new album out and were all the rage on top 40 radio. Some obscure white guy from Texas none of us had ever heard of opened for them. Damn glad I was young and stupid and showed up to see every minute of the unknown opening act. Completely stole the show. 1983, Portland, ME, Civic Center. Another long live one.

And of course the original version, from another guitar GOAT. Sound quality is pretty lousy on this version, but . . . .Woodstock!
The decoy carvers here will appreciate this.
I was a fan at that time, too - but similarly didn't know of a widespread following among my friends.
totally agree, an all time great

In the early 1980s I remember guys wearing Blue Oyster Cult concert tshirts in high school.
They never played in my area or I would have had a t-shirt.

I was outside Philadelphia
That's a big metro area. Probably a never ending list of acts to see.
