Bo Diddley- Bob Seger
My Pledge Of Love- The Joe Jeffrey Group
One Lie For Me, One For You- Chuck Prophet w/Qiensave
It's Gonna Be Easy- Doug Sahm
The Way It Will Be- Gillian Welch
Wide World- Alton Ellis
Eye Communication- Marianne Faithfull
Bo Diddley- Bob Seger
(This version rocks pretty hard, thanks to that manic tambourine player.)
My Pledge Of Love- The Joe Jeffrey Group
(I covered this with The Cool Jerks at one rehearsal, maybe two. It never worked, but I still love this single.)
One Lie For Me, One For You- Chuck Prophet w/Qiensave
("Wake The Dead" gets better with each spin and with each spin, I have a new favorite. This week it's this track.)
It's Gonna Be Easy- Doug Sahm
(I was in a Greenwich Village record store this week, diggin' through bin after bin of overpriced garbage. Then I saw "Doug Sahm & Band" and I thought, "I'll buy this." $25. It's a $10 record! Always has been. Still is, if you shop online. But that's the NYC record store experience these days. You flip through thrift store crap and the first solid title is twice the price it should be. Well, I didn't buy it. My MP3's will have to do.)
The Way It Will Be- Gillian Welch
(This song haunted me for years because Gillian Welch had been playing it live for years and never got around to recording it. I have various live versions, each with a slightly different title, since no one could confirm the exact title...until finally, in 2011, when it appeared on Welch's "The Harrow & The Harvest" record. It's still as stunning as ever.)
Wide World- Alton Ellis
(From this week's "Reggae Record of The Week.")
Eye Communication- Marianne Faithfull
(And one more for Marianne.)

I first learned about Chuck Prophet through Burning Wood, so thank you for that. And this track is brilliant....
Thanks for this, Sal. And to Rick above - same here; I don't think I was aware of Chuck Prophet 'til discovering him through this blog. And a bunch of other artists.
Ooh -- haven't heard "Pledge of Love" in ages. What a delightful record....
