...In 1972, Tav moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he began developing an artistic career as a photographer and filmmaker in which he would create a documentary on Memphis blues artist R.L. Burnside. He joined Jim Dickinson's eccentric band Mud Boy & the Neutrons as a performance artist where they would play at Memphis’ Orpheum Theater. When Mud Boy disbanded Tav continued to perform at the Orpheum where in 1978 Alex Chilton would see him chain-sawing a guitar in a performance. Alex was so excited about Tav's act the two would go on to form the Panther Burns along with Jim Dickinson. They named the band after The Panther Burn Plantation in Mississippi Delta that dates back to the 19th Century.Tav would go on to inherit Panther Burns as his own band which has undergone numerous line-up changes as well as various name changes; his albums have been credited to Tav Falco, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Tav Falco and Panther Burns, Tav Falco's Amazing Panther Burns, Tav Falco and The Unapproachable Panther Burns, among many others. He also changed his name to Gus Nelson (his stepfather's last name) for a short time and occasionally uses the pseudonym Eugene Baffle when he writes songs.
Tav also worked as an actor appearing in films such as "Great Balls of Fire" in 1989 and "Wayne County Ramblin'" in 2002. Since the late 90s he has been living in Europe where he still performs with his ever-revolving lineup of Panther Burns. In April 2005 he performed at The Barbican in London for a "It Came From Memphis Festival" in in a lineup that included North Mississippi All Stars and a reunited Mud Boy & the Neutrons.

"C'est si bon" Song Swarm
Various Artists
I'm re-upping this swarm to zippyshare so it will last more than the one week it
was posted on We Transfer. So now it's in two parts that will merge into one if
you're using iTunes. Plus I've added Stan Freburg as suggested by a TZer who is,
apparently like me, foolishly enamored by the song.

C'est si bon Swarm 2:
http://www111.zippyshare.com/v/TDdWsOSz/file.html
"C'est si bon" is a French popular song composed in 1947 by Henri Betti with the
lyrics by André Hornez. The English lyrics were written in 1950 by Jerry Seelen.
The song is also adapted in several languages.
Wikipedia lists 360 different recordings of the song. There has to be plenty
more! It has appeared in too many movies and TV shows to list not to mention its
use in advertisements. Its easy to say C'est si bon is one of the most
recognizable tunes in musical history.
It's always been one of my favorite songs but I never could recognize the lyrics
so I always sang it with made-up sentimental words. I should have, but never
did, get any girls with it, however. My life's story.
I spent some time compiling this swarm. 34 songs sounds like plenty but I just
couldn't help myself. I've listened through the thing and each song holds up in
its own way. I love it. Hope you do too.
Oh, by the way there are no rock'n'roll songs included so most of you can just
move on. But for those in the mood, who love the mood, here stands the mood.

Thanks everyone for the daily goodies !
Time to share a bit on my side :
Here's Jack Scott, one of the last living great 50s rockers (check out his last year's album, it's great).
This CD is a two-fer including his first Lp (1958) and "What in the world's come over you" (1960), plus 6 bonus tracks. The sound is great, as always with this serie, that I recommend. And they're very cheap.

RYP, thanks for the Tav Falco that I didn't have.
Gyro1966: thank YOU and RYP for all the sounds!
Hallo RYP,
vielen Dank für ein weiteres großartiges Tav Falco-Album das in meiner Sammlung noch fehlt und für die genial schrägen Ziggens die ich bisher noch gar nicht kannte. Super!
Hello Ravachol,
many thanks for your two fantastic compilation-albums, a real good buy!
WATTS
Simple, fun, enjoyable Rock N Roll from Boston, Massachusetts.
They have a good mix of bands like Drive By Truckers, Rolling Stones, Against Me, and Chuck Berry in their DNA.
WATTS - THE BLACK HEART OF ROCK N ROLL (2016) @320
The Watts have returned much to the joy of The Rock And Roll Guru! After falling in love with their last album, I was delighted to listen to their latest release, The Black Heart Of Rock N Roll. I was overjoyed after the first play through. Watts took everything that was great about their previous release and built upon it. The end result is a magnificent collection of songs that is available for rock music lover’s ear consumption.
There aren’t any weak spots on The Black Heart Of Rock N Roll. Every song is a gem. Watts stuck to what they are good at – four bar, four part, bar band rock and roll. They have a good mix of bands like Drive By Truckers, Rolling Stones, Against Me, and Chuck Berry in their DNA. They are an exceptional blend of alt country, blues, punk, and good old fashioned rock and roll. And isn’t that what the best bands are made of?
“Up All Night” is a bouncing beauty with a magnificent bass line that hooks the listener early. This is a song that makes you want to jump up and dance, or maybe even do a little duck walking in your living room. Like most songs by this band, “Up All Night” is just straight out fun! “Up All Night” proves that simple can be magnificent. It is a short burst of song that is big on energy and enjoyment.
The majority of songs on The Black Heart Of Rock N Roll are short and sweet. The entire album is barely over 30 minutes long. However, that only ups the replay value. Watts definitely leaves the listener wanting more, and so the repeat button is hit at the end of the last track. Each song is short and sweet, showcasing only the best Watts has to offer.
The message in “Bye & Bye” is that life is too short to give yourself away. These are true words reinforced with exceptional vocals and a terrific guitar solo that drives the point home. Don’t settle for anything less than the best is the true essence of the stated message. “Bye & Bye” is a reminder of a simple statement. Nothing less than the best will do. Don’t give in. Don’t give up. And don’t give yourself away.
One of the best songs the band ever recorded shows up near the end of the record. “The B Side” is a foot stomping, hand clapping, hell of a good time in the form of music. I couldn’t stop listening to the song for the first week I had this album. ”The B Side” a short, quick, blast of fun guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and put a little pep in your step.
Watts have once again delivered a fine piece of musical art for all to enjoy. The Black Heart Of Rock N Roll is simple, fun, enjoyable rock and roll that no one knows how to make anymore. This band has taken rock music and boiled it down to its simplest elements---and that’s what great music is about. Steady drums and dazzling guitar solos will always be a rock and roll staple and always be loved. That is where Watts are masters. Add in some fine lyric writing, exceptional vocals, and a whole lot of fun and you have the definition of Watts --- a damn good rock and roll band! (www.rockandrollguru.blogspot.com)

WATTS - FLASH OF WHITE LIGHT (2015) @320
'Flash Of White Light' is the third album from Boston retro rock 'n' roll throwbacks Watts and, in '80s teen girl speak, it's a stonker.
Eleven tracks long, and without a whiff of a weak moment let alone song throughout its tracklisting, 'Flash Of White Light' is one of those records that you can't quite believe you haven't heard before, sounds like all the best records from your youth that you listened to a million times, and will get played on your wanton stereo over & over & over again.
This cocktail of Stones-like rock 'n' roll and old school power pop, with lashings of British Invasion suss and vintage rock strut worked in for good measure, is as infectious a record as you'll hear right now or in the near future. All other albums have been put on hold here as I play this again and again.
I'm reminded of so many of the rock 'n' roll world's coolest mofos when I listen to this album: vintage Aerosmith on 'Trick', old school Springsteen on 'Ghosts On The Dancefloor', Keef 'n' Ronnie on 'Rocks', Hanoi Rocks, Georgia Satellites, Col. Parker - the list goes on. The songs traverse the decades at will: '70s Cheap Trick one minute, '80s gutter rock the next, the garage rock revisited of '90s NYC smeared all over.
There are melancholy moments strategically placed to offset the precious strains of RnR - think Ronnie Lane-sung tracks on Faces albums - but, for the majority of this long player, the guitars are low slung, the hooks are like fly traps, the urge to just forget all of your troubles and get up 'n' get down always prevalent.
What a great friggin' record - buy it!

LAST ROUNDUP - TWISTER (1987)
Here's some punkish hillbilly. Great fun. I love the guitar on this one. Ripped from my vinyl copy at 320.
'Last Roundup is made up of Angel Dean singing lead vocals, Amy McMahon Rigby playing guitar and harmonizing, her brother Michael McMahon playing Guitar, Lap Steel and Fiddle, and Garth Powell. The songs were written by the McMahon siblings and you may recognize Amy as she of "Diary of a Mod Housewife" fame a decade later. Angel Dean had a great alt.country band called Angel Dean & The Zephyrs who had a couple of songs on the Rig Rock Deluxe series by Diesel Only Records. She released a record with Sue Garner, who had preceeded her as vocalist for Last Roundup, in 2004.' (from Tuna Melt)

Thanks to all the contributors here!!
@martin: no I wasn't at the Weekender last weekend, I have never been. Were you?
Ty to all who posted on this thread some interesting looking albums
@Psyclist thanks so much for the Hank Williams post - especially the original singles collection! I grabbed a lot of Hank on vinyl, everything issued later than the fifties is soundwise a disappointment (remastered for stereo etc...). In general I do not like CDs, but to be honest this 3 CD set beats every vinyl record I had...!
Thank you Rank Stranger for more LX Chitlins!
@Psyclist ......many, many thanks Psyclist, for the Hank Williams posts.
If you have them, could you post the Polygram CDs.......8 double LPs were issued first, then 8 CDs were issued in the early 90s.
They contained all of the studio recordings and also some undubbed demos.
Thanks again and I hope you can help.
Richard
Thanks to Ravachol for the comps and to Rank Stranger
Hank Williams!!!
Cheers
Any chance of a re-up on some of this Tav Falco stuff. I'm a huge Alex Chilton fan and all I have is Magnolia Curtain. Cheers!
Nate,
it's actually time for re-ups. At the moment, however, I have huge quantities on the waiting list, so it can take some time. In any case, I have reserved Tav!
