Song Of The Day.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Flash Mob - Ode an die Freude ( Ode to Joy ) Beethoven Symphony No.9

 
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

 
 
A song written by Neil Diamond, but made a hit by Glen Campbell.

 
Nearly 60 years later, there's still some personal poignancy for me in this song ....

 
Flash Mob Bolero.

 
In memory of singer Cassandra Wilson, who died two days ago. Death Letter, from her Grammy-winning New Moon Daughter Album, is a cover of the Son House classic.


And here is Son House performing the song.

 
Michael Nesmith wrote this song before he joined The Monkees.
They rejected it. Then it became a hit for Linda Ronstadt.
 
I don't think there has been any Sacred Steel Guitar yet in this this thread. So here's Calvin Cooke singing about what happened since he laid his burden down.

 
Goose featuring Bruce Hornsby


 
The original version of Piece of My Heart - first performed by Erma Franklin (Aretha's big sister)

 
Louise - written by Paul Seibel

I first heard the Leo Kottke rendition of this when I was in college. I was immediately captivated by the haunting lyrics and melody. Definitely a sad song, but the mental picture it created resounded within me. Later, Bonnie Raitt did a popular cover. But she left out a verse, so it felt incomplete. Finally, I put in one of Paul Seibel's recordings.

But after it all, I'm still most captivated by Kottke's sparse rendition, with a 12-string guitar and no accompaniment. To me, that arrangement just fits the song so well.
