"LUCKY STROLLERS" Vol. 5 + 6

The Stroll was both a slow Rock dance and a song that was popular in late 1950s. The dance called the Stroll began in black communities to the song "C. C. Rider" by Chuck Willis prior to the song by the same name. Billboard first reported that "The Stroll" may herald a new dance craze similar to the "Big Apple" in December 1957. "The Stroll" was originally recorded by the Canadian group the Diamonds (Mercury 71242), and was written by Clyde Otis and Nancy Lee.
The original version of the song reached number four on the Billboard pop charts, number five on the R&B charts, and number one on the Cashbox charts.
In the dance, two lines of dancers, men on one side and women on the other, face each other, moving in place to the music. Each paired couple then steps out and does a more elabarate dance up and down between the rows of dancers.
It was first performed to "C. C. Rider" by Chuck Willis on American Bandstand. Link Wray's "Rumble" were also popular tunes for doing the Stroll.trax Vol. 5:

Elvis Presley - Today '75 [Legacy Edition] (2015)

Next up in the Sony Music 'Legacy Edition' series is a reissue of the 'Elvis Today' classic. A highlight of this set is the Undubbed 'Original Session mixes' that are almost worthy of their own release in our opinion. Originally released in 1975.
The Today sessions were held in RCA's Studio C, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, March 10–12, 1975, and marked the last time Elvis Presley would record in a studio. Elvis last recorded at Studio C, Hollywood in 1972 where he recorded the gold records 'Burning Love' and 'Separate Ways'.
Today featured a new rock song, 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E', which was released as its first single and went Top 40 in the US. 'Bringin' It Back' was its second single in the US. The album also features covers of songs by Perry Como, Tom Jones, The Pointer Sisters, Billy Swan, Faye Adams, The Statler Brothers and Charlie Rich.
'Green, Green Grass of Home' was released as a single in the UK, where it went Top 30, and also received US airplay. Elvis first heard the song in 1967 while driving his bus back to Memphis after making another movie, and heard Tom Jones' new single 'Green Green Grass of Home' for the first time and loved it. He had his 'memphis mafia' call the local AM station to make them replay it over and over again. Eight years later Elvis cut his own version.

Hazmat Modine - Extra-Deluxe-Supreme (2015)

One of New York’s most original bands, HAZMAT MODINE delivers a rustic, deliriously Dionysian blend of whorehouse Blues, Reggae, Klezmer, Country and Gypsy-tinged music.

Rattling with the sounds of migration from the caldron of New York City, Hazmat Modine returns to Europe rejuvenated. They’ll be serving up the bones of American music on a platter of silver, brass, reeds, electric guitars, violin, and vocal harmonies, and as always, presided over by the dashing harmonica wizard Wade Schuman.
Hazmat will be presenting music from their much anticipated magnum opus, ostensibly entitled Extra-Deluxe-Supreme. The songs present allegories of triumph and tragedy. Musically, the inspiration is drawn from Memphis and Rock Steady- garnished with the sounds of Egyptian Afro-Pop, American roots and Tuvan Soul. Set to simmer, it’s blended and distilled into a distinctive Hazmatian stew.
The new recording Extra-Deluxe-Supreme puts an emphasis on tight vocal harmonies that ring with Gospel overtones. The arrangements are crisp and elaborate in a style that can only be referred to as Baroque Blues.

Lee Hazlewood- The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes & Backsides (1968-1971)

One could go off the rails trying to explain the odd genius of Lee Hazlewood. A born wanderer, a natural iconoclast, and a man who simply heard music his own way and was somehow able to sail the shark-infested waters of the music business on his own terms by out-sharking the sharks and doing what he pleased, Hazlewood defied easy definitions. He was a fascinating songwriter with a sort of desert Vegas cowboy vision of life, and he was a subtle, brilliant, and innovative producer in the studio, crafting recordings that had enough echo, space, and surprises that Phil Spector viewed him as a mentor. Hazlewood was every bit as eccentric as Spector, too, and at the close of the '60s, he suddenly moved to Stockholm, started his own label, LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries), and turned out a fair amount of extremely interesting material, most of which wasn't even remotely aimed at commercial success. Light in the Attic Records has begun an archival reissue series of some of these rare Hazlewood sides, and this set, which covers 1968 to 1971, is the first of these. With a sparse and yet somehow strangely lush production sound full of reverb and echo, spooky strings, and hushed percussion, Hazlewood sounds here like a resigned and weary ex-patriot cowboy version of Leonard Cohen crossed with Sun Records-era Johnny Cash, all of which would make these recordings simply curios if the songs weren't so good -- and they're good. "No Train to Stockholm" is brilliant, and so, too, is the bleak beauty of "If It's Monday Morning" and the weary wisdom of "I Just Learned to Run." Hazlewood manages to sound resigned, lightly disgusted, heartbroken, and deathbed wise as he sings his way through these songs, none of which ever hit anywhere near an AM radio station. It's easy to be excited for more volumes in this series after hearing this one. (Steve leggett, Allmusic)

Frankie Lee - American Dreamer '15

“American Dreamer is an album with brutally honest lyrics, real cowboy grit, and that perfect balance of roughly hewn hooks and polished melodies.” NPR

W
With echoes of Springsteen, Dylan and Ryan Adams, Frankie Lee is no avant-garde trailblazer. The Mississippian eulogises being “born in a summer storm” and even “a little house we call home”. After picking up songwriting tips from Merle Haggard and Roky Erikson on his travels, the diagnosed narcoleptic’s wonderfully laconic delivery brims with simple wisdom: “All the time we take / We never take our time”; “I’ve got to learn to let this go / ’Cos it’s your time before you know”. But beneath the familiar glow of his beautifully burnished Americana lurks a restless, angry soul. High and Dry urges folk to start growing their own food for when capitalism fails them. The outstanding East Side Blues and Where Do We Belong lay into developers who have destroyed US towns and address the casualties of the so-called American dream. It’s a traditional-sounding debut, but wild and radical at heart, and should take him a long way. (The Guardian)

“Frankie Lee is one of the most brilliant singer-songwriters in the U.S. today.” (Record Runner)

Sure I am doing something wrong (again...) and now you know part of why I hide behind anonymous, but I've downloaded the Dylan several times and it keeps telling me it can't get #12 (Stuck Inside of Mobile) because the file name is too long....what am I doing wrong?

Sorry

courtney said...

Thanks, Gyro...who could have guessed in 1965 that we would be able to listen to never-before-heard music from Elvis and Dylan fifty years later?

Robert said...

Thanks for the Dylan material. I've paid for the 6-CD version of Cutting Edge, and I'm hoping that the 18-CD super deluxe and super expensive edition makes it online someday. Robert in Tucson

JavaMan said...

dear sorry;
try right-clicking on the song title & a box with options should appear, one of which is "rename". just shorten the name to (e.g.) stuck inside & that should do it. it's worked for me many times in the past.
good luck,
JavaMan

Before you open the rar file (looks like a short stack of books) change the name to Bob and erase the rest of the words. It will still open and that should work.

PS thanks Gyro

Anonymous - easiest way to fix that is to double-click the file, select that song and either rename it to something shorter (and then extract it) or extract just that song (which usually works because it doesn't use the full path).

If you're more sophisticated there are a number of settings you can play with (dealing with the path names) which will fix that in most cases.

Thanks Gyro for the Dylan sampler.

The rocked up version of "Visions Of Johanna" is particularly interesting as it is very different from the "official" version.

thanks for all the advice on getting the song; y'all never cease to amaze me. Ever grateful.
