Well then,
This one was a ton of fun to put together. I like doing theme shows, they're actually a ton of fun. This one was centered around, and featured the Bo Diddley beat, and how it's basic structure has influenced music for 5 decades now. It's one of those beats that is absolutely essential to a band to learn how to play live and make work. It's a beat so basic, and so great when it's done live, the baddest ass, coolest people in the room will get up and dance.
Bo Diddley (the original 1955 mono single) - Bo Diddley
Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly and The Crickets
Not Fade Away  - The Rolling Stones
Magic Bus - The Who
1969 - The Stooges
Willie and The Hand Jive - George Thorogood and The Destroyers
No One To Run With - The Allman Brothers
Bo Diddley - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
She's The One - Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band
Bo Diddley's A Gunslinger/Bo Diddley - Warren Zevon
Who Do You Love? - Bo Diddley
Thanks for listening and supporting the show, and this one marked the kickoff of the Claire Marie Plaisance fund. It's a way for you to help make the world a little better place for a 2 year old girl. Just listen and you'll find out how. Thanks for supporting the music and the musicians.
Peace out,

Desolation Angel Radio Thursday July 19th, 2012

The Desolation Angel Radio show, and myself are infamous for telling folks to go see someone live and local who doesn't play covers. There is a place for covers however, beyond high school reunions, wedding receptions and your local beer joint with the band who had day jobs all week long and then sets up and plays for everyone's drinking and dancing pleasure on Friday night. Once an artist has established themselves, and can basically own a cover, grab it by the throat and make it their own, while still honoring and respecting the song's and songwriter's original intent, some very, very cool shit happens. That's we did here Thursday night.
Justin Townes Earle - Racing In the Street
The Rolling Stones - Love In Vain
Truth & Salvage Co. - Games People Play
Johnny Burnette & The Rock and Roll Trio - Honey Hush
Foghat - Honey Hush
Secret Sisters - Big River
James Luther Dickinson and The North Mississippi Allstars - Truck Drivin'  Man
Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Oh, Susannah
Left Lane Cruiser and James Leg - Come To Poppa
The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
Waylon Jennings  and friends - The Weight
It was a great show to do, and worked really, really well. Hope you enjoy it. As always thanks for being a supporter of this music, and these artists and this radio station, where we play music that's gritty, real, authentic, raw, passionate, down in the blood and close to bone.
