Random Thoughts: 1/19/2020
Welcome to Random Thoughts. Here, I will set one of my music collections to "random", see what ten songs come up, listen to them and comment. Let's see how this goes.... Source for today: iTunes music collection Song 1: Grateful Dead "Ain't it Crazy (the rub) 3/18/71 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ViHiIWf60 It's not completely shocking that my first tune is a Dead tune. But it made me happy. Anyone who knows my Dead fandom knows that i GREATLY prefer the early 70's dead with Pigpen as my absolute favorites. And this tune is such a great example of that. His raspy vocals were never recaptured after he was no longer around, and the bluesy swagger the boys played with while he was there is what i loved so much. And that harmonica solo! Amazing! If you don't know these good old pigpen songs, you are MISSING OUT! Song 2: Mumford & Sons, "Friend of the Devil" (from the Day of the Dead album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkYNu
