Overtime

Trace Bundy video for the song "Overtime", off the album Elephant King.

Charles Street

"Charles Street" is one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe version of Amos Lee's latest album.  Unfortunately he did not perform the song at last night's DC concert.  But since the song is set in Baltimore, he did do it at last week's concert over there.  Here is a video of that performance.

Amos Lee & Mutlu

The final encore at tonight's Amos Lee concert was the Boyz II Men song "End of the Road". It was a duet with Mutlu, who I have never heard before. He is a version of them performing the song from a couple years ago. The Drummer also helps out with the vocal.

Buck Owens

Buck Owens appearing on the Jimmy Dean Show. I am guessing this is the middle 1960's, because "Loves Gonna Live Here" was released in 1963.

"My Heart Skips a Beat"
"Bud's Bounce"
"Foolin' Round"
"Love's Gonna Live Here Again"

Ranch Party

Johnny Cash - "I Walk the Line"
Patsy Cline, in her finest cowgirl getup - "I've Loved and Lost Again"

Do Right Woman

Yesterday's post of "Why Don't You Do Right?" has prompted me to post "Do Right Woman" today. Here a 1967 Aretha Franklins performance of that song.

Why Don't You Do Right?

I found this this great version of "Why Don't You Do Right" performed by the Carolina Chocolate Drops, with vocals by Rhiannon Giddens and a guy that makes a trumpet sound with just his mouth. For good measure I am also including Jessica Rabbit's version of the song, followed by Peggy Lee's 1942 version of the song with the Benny Goodman Orchestra.

Walt Grace's Submarine Test, Jan. 1967

This is my favorite track on John Mayer's Born and Raised album. Normally I like to post live versions of songs, but the recording of this song is about as close to perfect as you can get. So here is the album track of "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, Jan. 1967", with some interesting animation.
