Thanks G! I've heard it before, but sung by someone else - I think maybe an Australian? Love that fuzz but not quite as keen on the shrieky vocal - think I might like the other version better. But it's definitely in my fun bucket  I'll have a think about something for someone else a bit later... |

You might have heard the Tommy James and the Shondells version.
Interestingly Dylan loved the Johnny Thunder track. It was his favourite track of 69, you wouldn't have thought it was his thing as he was releasing countryish stuff at the time.

It was this version:
it's been used in a couple of films, I think

That's really great too, but the extra wildness of the JT track just pushes it ahead for me.

^ A (surprisingly faithful) Tommy James & The Shondells cover, if you didn't know! [Oops - too late.]

and this one is for riggers (just the first track)! Yep, having that one. Never knowingly heard them before, just knew that they had a 14 year old drummer. Vocal is reminiscent of Jake Burns. Guitars more loose and scrappy, indie rock-ish rather than Punk buzzsaw. That's gone in the playlist. Cheers JC! Ok, I'll leave this one here for loveless. I'm guessing one of the admin types updates the thread title? |

Oh, that was swell!
I want to say "a folk-rockier Harper Valley PTA" - the harmonica is crucial.
For Davey:

Really like the Richard & Mimi track. Think Hatz is a big fan of that album.
We should invent one of those retrospective genres to describe this stuff, folk-rock is too general, but there was a specific sound that you got post-Dylan of these tough, electrified folk tracks with biting lyrics giving it to the man. The Bobby Darin material of this time is very much in this vein.

I love Fanny - and Todd Rundgren is throwing the kitchen sink in production-wise! It’s a ridiculous record… in all the best ways. Okay - taking a chance here (cause you never know what he’ll like), but here’s one for Ray: |

Sorry I took so long to get around to this Okay - taking a chance here ( cause you never know what he’ll like), but here’s one for Ray: Oh, you're on pretty safe ground with a church-based female soul singer from the early 1960s. And yes, I like this: I didn't hear the single at the time, but it turned up on more than a few comps in the 60s and 70s. It was from the sleeve notes on those that I learned it was a secular adaptation of a gospel song recorded by the Soul Stirrers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0OpkjBjX-k if you're interested). And if you thought I was unpredictable, well, I really don't have a facking clue what anyone else might like that would be new to them (especially if I'm restricted to those who haven't been named yet). I toyed with the idea of asking Dougie to write about I'll Never Need More Than This, because I know he rates it, and I'd like to read why, but decided that's a bit of a cop-out, so I'm going to take a wild flyer and put up something I was listening to yesterday that I really enjoyed, and attach a name more or less at random, but would be interested to hear what anyone thinks of it . jeffrey lewis and the junkyard - the upside down cross for dayodead (or anyone, really) |

"jeffrey lewis and the junkyard - the upside down cross
for dayodead (or anyone, really)"
Slapped another link on it because the one above didn't work...Jeffrey Lewis going outside his usual Antifolk shtick..Kinda has an early Mercury Rev vibe about it, bordering on psychedelic, but not quite..Not bad..
Going random on both song and person with the next one...For Ange..

That early 80s drum sound and synths are always very welcome in my world, and it's not a long song so as a mood piece it works really well. It's like early New Order and a 60s garage band had a baby. Ok, i will think of a tune for someone else next. |

Ok, one for our G man and anyone who likes soul jazz and R&B...
Billy Hawks - 'O' Baby (I Believe I'm Losing You)
Hawks was an organist and singer who released just a couple of LPs in the late-60s on Prestige, but this smoking track should be right up your alley G, though you may have heard it before.
