MindCrime Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Turn The Page Metallica Written by Bob Seger. First single released from their 1998 covers album "Garage Inc." Reached #1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock chart for 11 weeks, which is the longest any Metallica song has ever spent in the top spot of any chart. Drummer Lars Ulrich first heard the song while driving around and thought that it sounded like something James Hetfield could do and suggested it to the band to cover. The saxophone from the Bob Segar original is replaced by a high slide guitar. The music video portrays an exotic dancer / prostitute who is also a mother, and MTV temporarily banned the video due to a graphic scene where the woman is abused by a client, but that part had been edited out.

edna Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 "Little Umbrellas" Frank Zappa Written by Frank Zappa. A track from his 1969 album, "Hot Rats". It was also the B-side for the single "Peaches In regalia", released in 1970. Opening on a round double bass line, "Little Umbrellas," a delicate medium-tempo instrumental piece by Frank Zappa, failed to make a lasting impression. Released on the 1969 LP Hot Rats, it was eclipsed by stronger pieces like "Peaches en Regalia" and "Willie the Pimp." Nicely arranged with piano, clarinet, and even a recorder part, it has a naïve quality to it that will be better expressed in "Twenty Small Cigars" on the album Chunga's Revenge... It seems it was never performed live and was put to rest immediately after its inclusion on Hot Rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 "From A Buick 6" Bob Dylan Written by Bob Dylan. A track from "Highway 61", his 1965 and whole electric LP. Recorded in July 30th, it was released as a single on August 30th as the B-side of "Positively 4th Street". Bob Dylan imagines himself as some kind of outlaw paying tribute to his gangster moll on this raucous, up-tempo blues number. The track is played almost recklessly by Dylan and his band of blues aficionados, including Al Kooper on the organ and Mike Bloomfield on guitar. The hard-driving approach and raving vocals assured listeners that Dylan was diving head-on into the electrified folk and rock & roll that would remain his focus for years. Like many "contemporary" blues songs, "From a Buick 6" is based in part on an older tune, the Sleepy John Estes chestnut from 1930, "Milk Cow Blues." This, by the way, is a different version, if not a different song altogether, from the blues of the same name attributed to Kokomo Arnold in 1934. That latter variation was also covered by Dylan together with Johnny Cash -- available on The Genuine Bootleg Series (1996) -- as well as by countless others, Elvis Presley included. One more connection: Bloomfield also appeared on a 1964 Estes record called Broke and Hungry. While "From a Buick 6" takes its pounding rhythm, changes, and even a line or two from Estes, it is really more similar in approach -- tempo and attack -- to the Kinks' menacing version of the Arnold variant of "Milk Cow Blues" from Kink Kontroversy (1965) than it is to either of the old country blues recordings. Dylan, a diminutive white Jewish kid from Minnesota, seems to be having fun swaggering like Big Bill Broonzy or Muddy Waters as he howls out such classic lines as "She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead" and "I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead/I need a dump truck baby to unload my head/She brings me everything and more and just like I said/Well, if I fall down dyin' you know she's bound to put a blanket on my bed." Dylan swings the lyrics and seems spurred by the relentless rocking of his well-assembled backing band; the spotlight is all his, however -- great backbeat and bass line notwithstanding. One thing that many of the white students of the blues seemed to forget after the mid-'60s was the visceral power of the blues in its raw form; blues guitarists, in particular, started gaining praise for their polish and flash. Dylan, while obviously contemporary, sounds more like a direct descendent of the older blues guys, going his own way. It was as if the electric Fender equipment were placed into the hands of the elders back in the '20s and '30s. One suspects that they would have played the tune with a similar ebullient abandon.
