The Good Neighbor Policy; Latin music in the 30's and 40's....
I got to play a gig with Herman Olivera last month. This is an old Eddie Palmieri classic from the 60's. http://youtu.be/SpFRXpeXD6o -

Most depressing song you know?
Man, I love the Fureys and Davey Aurther. The Irish have the market cornered in sad ballads…do they ever. One of their other hits was “The Green Fields of France”, also about WW1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2YvcB9lW18&feature=fvwrel The song was written by Eric Bogle, who also wrote... -

As I was going through some of Jimmy’s music in my ipod, I came across a favorite song: Never Let Me Go. I almost never think of it when rummaging through my mind with regards to my favorites, but it’s a classic (almost noir-like) tune, and I love it. I had to look it up on wiki to see that Jay... -

Jimmy Sabater has passed away, not that many would know who he is. What’s eerie to me is that I was just listening to “A Man Ain’t Supposed To Cry” On my way into work this morning. There aren't any double/triple threat artists of his caliber around these days. Both of these tunes are from the... -

“Mayeya” features stellar work from two masters, Mongo Santamaria and Charlie Palmieri. What a great track. Every now and again I come back to it and think that I need to remember about that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ8_viTxf_g -

That's actually The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, if you want to get technical about it, though Makem would leave the group that year. The tune is from an old traditional called "The Gallant Forty-Twa" that they first recorded on 1964's "The First Hurrah!". Liam Clancy sang the tune on the... -

I've been listening to this since it seems like forever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH4odHVfF5E The 80's were crappy, but it's nice when one of the excesses of the time meant a full sax section, which Billy's band always had (not that I consider horns an excess, anything but). When this... -

Yeah GH was awesome. Speaking of Cat Stevens and covers, I wish that they would release the Elvis Costello version of "Sitting" already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhott7TobgA -

I'm really excited about Nick Lowe's new record coming out in September. He's better now than he ever was as a young man. Amazing. Here's a sample from each of his last 4 records. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC3DA3v8Ii4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HO4mTPJUMw... -

George Harrison’s spirituality really came through in his music. “Stuck Inside a Cloud" off of his last album is a good example of this. He also did a pretty nice version of “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” on it, complete with ukulele and tuba. The “All Things Must Pass” album is as... -

Listening to the mighty sounds of Cal Tjader and Eddie Palmieri. “Come An’ Get It” was never used in a James Bond film, though you’d never know it from the video, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBBAnylZ4aY -
