Covered: Neil Young, Volume 8: 2016-2020

As I write this, I’m sitting in an airplane, about to fly back to the U.S. I’m glad to see my plan to keep posting albums while on vacation has worked out. 

Here’s the next album in the Neil Young “Covered” series. There are two albums to go after this one. Once more, thanks to Fabio from Rio from doing most of the heavy lifting for these albums. Here is the intro to his notes:

By the late 2010s, Neil Young's songwriting had fully entered the digital age of reinterpretation. Covers were no longer limited to traditional tribute albums or major-label releases. Many now emerged through independent recordings, Bandcamp releases, streaming platforms, and fan communities online. At the same time, a younger generation of indie-folk, Americana, and roots musicians continued to rediscover Young's catalog, often gravitating toward the emotional honesty and melodic simplicity that have always defined his best work. Meanwhile, Young himself remained active both musically and politically, releasing albums that addressed environmental and social issues while also opening vast portions of his archival material through the Neil Young Archives project. The performances collected here reflect that ecosystem: established artists, roots musicians, and independent performers revisiting both classics and deep cuts from across his remarkable career.

Note that Fabio wrote individual paragraphs about all the songs in this volume. To see that, please look at the Word file added to the download zip file. Thanks again to Fabio for his help putting these albums together.

Bettye LaVette - Soulville - Non-Album Tracks (2017-2023)

I've been posting a few Bettye LaVette albums lately. Here's another one. It's another collection of non-album tracks, from 2017 to 2023. This gets us caught up to current day, since I didn't find any non-album tracks worthy of inclusion since 2023.

Six of the songs here are unreleased: tracks 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12. All of them are from concert bootlegs. They generally come from tribute concerts. I removed the audience cheering from all of them so they'd fit in better with the studio tracks.

Tracks 1 and 3 come from the deluxe edition of "Music from The American Epic Sessions." Track 4 is from the Todd Rundgren album "White Knight." Tracks 8 and 11 are from tribute albums. For more details, look at the mp3 tags for each song, as usual.

This album is 52 minutes long.

Beck - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: The Biggest Weekend, Titanic Slipways, Belfast, Britain, 5-25-2018

Here's another album I thought I'd posted but actually hadn't. It's the sixth and most recent BBC album I have of Beck, at least so far. This one is a concert.

Maybe the reason I didn't post this is because it's from one of my least favorite phases of Beck's music career. In 2017, he released the album "Colors." If you look at the crowd sourced ratings at rateyourmusic.com, you can see it's one of his lowest rated albums. That said, I think the songs come across better in a live format. They seemed overproduced to me, so they lost most of that when played live. 

Also, the songs were upbeat and danceable, and this whole concert is like that. It includes a fun medley of classic songs near the end.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 57 minutes long.

Joan Armatrading - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: 2011-2021

I was going through my music collection recently, and I noticed some albums in there that I thought I'd posted at my blog, yet I never had. Here's one. I previously posted five BBC albums by singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading. The previous four were concerts, but this one is a collection of studio sessions.

The first song is from a brief revival of the Old Grey Whistle Test BBC TV show in 2011. It has been released on an album, called "The Old Grey Whistle Test: Live." Everything else here is unreleased. The second song is from the BBC Folk Awards in 2016. Tracks three through five are from a 2016 radio session. Tracks six and seven are from another 2016 radio session. Finally, tracks eight and nine are from a 2021 radio session.

Most of the songs are in solo acoustic format, but not all. By the way, if anyone knows of additional BBC sessions by her that I missed, please let me know. It's easy to miss some of these.

This album is 36 minutes long.

Covered: Tom Waits, Volume 4: 2013-2023

Here's the fourth and last album in the Covered series celebrating the songs of Tom Waits by collecting cover versions.

Once again, I have to thank Fabio from Rio for being the prime mover behind putting these Waits albums together. He selected a large number of songs, and I narrowed it down to a reasonable amount. And one again, Fabio was nice enough to do the write up. So, take it away, Fabio:

--- 

Waits released his last studio record to date ("Bad as Me") in 2011. His later works revisit all earlier phases in fragmented, refined form. Waits alternates tender ballads with abrasive rhythm experiments, presenting a distilled, self-aware summary of his artistic language rather than a new stylistic break.

This last volume with performances from the 2010s and 2020s is mostly filled with female voices, hinting that, musically, Waits has become something of a ladies' man — at least for a younger generation of singers.

Here again we have a wild range of different styles, from forties-like doo-wop (Ice Cream Man) to eighties-drum-machine-electro-pop ("All Stripped Down"), from jazz and blues rock ("Fumblin' with the Blues", "Shore Leave") to americana and alt-country ("Walk Away", "Blue Skies").

We will also find adult contemporary ("In-Between Love"), dark cabaret ("Little Drop of Poison", "Starving in the Belly of a Whale"), R&B ("Such a Scream"), and confessional ballad ("Martha") in the mix.

Tom Jones makes "Bad as Me" his own. "Emotional Weather Report" is a deep cut taken from the little-known jazz and spoken-word Waits seventies album "Nighthawks on the Radio", which highlights Tom Waits' deadpan humor. 

Other standouts are Rosanne Cash's "Time" and Aimee Mann's version for "Hold On" - which kind of reminded me, in spirit if not in sound, of the acappella version sung by Emily Kinney as Beth Greene in "The Walking Dead" - one of the most poignant moments of the entire series(*). 

(*) You can check it out (along with Tom Waits' original version) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNeGLUAUbgQ&list=RDGNeGLUAUbgQ

Squeeze - BBC Sessions, Volume 9: 2010-2018

Yesterday, after posting "BBC Sessions, Volume 10" by Squeeze, it was pointed out to me that I had never posted Volume 9. Oops! I thought for sure that I had, since I had it all ready to go. So here it is now.

I found a couple of BBC concerts Squeeze did during this time period. But to be honest, I was getting a little tired of posting concerts mostly consisting of their old hits. In my opinion, they were still writing good new songs during this time period, and I was more interested in hearing those. So the first seven tracks are from a BBC concert in Newcastle, Britain, in 2010. Tracks 10 to 13 are from the 2016 Glastonbury Festival. Tracks 14 and 15 are from the Biggest Weekend Festival in Perth, Britain, which was broadcast by the BBC, just like the Glastonbury Festival.

So that makes up most of the songs. But there are two others. "Please, Please Me," a cover of the Beatles song, is from a 2013 BBC radio special called "12 Hours to Please Me" that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' debut album in Britain, "Please, Please Me." 

"Cradle to the Grave" is from the Andrew Marr BBC TV show. What's particularly interesting is that the lyrics were changed near the end of the song, just for this version. Here's the new lyrics:

I grew up in social housing
Part of what made Britain great
There are some here who are hell-bent
On the destruction of the welfare state

This seems to be a deliberate snub of David Cameron, prime minister of Britain at the time, who actually was on stage during the performance, because he was another guest on the show! Indeed, as a leader of the right wing Tory party, Cameron took part in that party's destruction of the welfare state that has be steadily and gradually weakening Britain's economy. Kudos to Squeeze to have the balls to sing that right to Cameron's face. Cameron clapped and smiled at the end of the song, probably oblivious about the lyrics.

Everything on this album is unreleased. I used the MVSEP program to remove all the crowd noise, so the songs with cheering fit in with the ones without. There are a couple of lesser known older songs here. But most of the songs are from the band's two albums of new material during this time period, "Cradle to the Grave" in 2015 and "The Knowledge" in 2017.  

This album is 47 minutes long.

05 If It's Love (Squeeze)

Covered: Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham, Volume 2: 1968-2023

Here's the second and final album of the Covered series for the songwriting team of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham.

In the first volume, I noted that Penn and Oldham had a lot of success writing hit songs from about 1966 to 1968, while based in Memphis, Tennessee. The first song here is from 1968. But after that, there was a sharp drop with their musical successes. Penn later claimed that there was a lot of fruitful collaboration between white songwriters like Spooner and him and the black singers they were mainly writing for during that time period, but that changed as the years went on. He saw the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 as a key moment. After that, race became more of an issue, and the expectation grew that soul music songs sung by black singers would be written by black songwriters too.

Due to this changed environment, Penn and Oldham split up. Oldham moved to Los Angeles, where he found a lot of success playing keyboards as a session musician. That continued for decades, with him playing on albums by the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Aretha Franklin, Jackson Browne, the Everly Brothers, J.J. Cale, Linda Ronstadt, and many, many more. 

Meanwhile, Penn moved to Nashville, the home of country music, and tried to find success writing country songs. However, although his style had always been an interesting combination of soul and country music, he didn't do well writing just  for country singers. In 1973, he finally released his first solo album, "Nobody's Fool." While it was critically acclaimed, it sold very little. He did have some success as a songwriter and/or producer, but in a low-key way.

In 1994, Penn and Oldham reunited for Penn's second solo album, "Do Right Man." This mostly consisted of Penn's versions of his biggest hits from the 1960s. It was critically acclaimed. And while it also wasn't a big seller, it generated enough interest for Penn and Oldham to essentially start a new career as duo, going on tour to promote the occasional new album by Penn. Since then, Penn has released three more studio albums. The two of them have built up a following. As I write this in 2025, they are still going on tour, despite the fact that they're both in their early eighties.

Penn continues to write new songs, though it seems not often with Oldham anymore. He's had the occasional successful late career song. For instance, "Don't Give Up on Me" was the title track to Solomon Burke's acclaimed 2002 album by that same name. And "Memphis Women and Chicken" from Penn's 1994 album is usually performed in the concerts by Penn and Oldham.

Most of the songs here were written by Penn with others instead of Oldham. However, "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers" was written by Oldham without Penn. Unlike the hit-filled Volume 1, there really aren't any big hits here, though arguably some could be considered classics, and the songwriting is still at a consistently high level. Some of the songs were written much earlier than when the versions here were recorded. For instance, "Keep On Talking," recorded by Texas in 2023, was first released by someone else in 1965. In cases like that, these are the versions I like best.

This album is 45 minutes long.

01 I Met Her in Church (Box Tops)
02 A Woman Left Lonely (Janis Joplin)
03 Rainbow Road (Percy Sledge)
04 Lonely Women Make Good Lovers (Bob Luman)
05 Zero Willpower (Irma Thomas)
06 Like a Road Leading Home (Jerry Garcia Band)
07 Where There's a Will [There's a Way] (Dan Penn)
08 Time I Took a Holiday (Nick Lowe)
09 Don't Give Up on Me (Solomon Burke)
10 Memphis Women and Chicken (Gary Nicholson)
11 I Hate You (Nicki Bluhm)
12 Keep On Talking (Texas)

Various Artists - Songs in the Key of Brian - Remembering Brian Wilson (1975-2021) (GUEST POST BY FABIO FROM RIO)

One of the all-time great musical geniuses, Brian Wilson, died a few days ago, on June 11, 2025. He was 82 years old. I wanted to post something to mark his passing. Luckily, I've recently been collaborating with a new musical friend, who goes by the name Fabio from Rio. He's a big fan of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, and came up with the idea of creating an album consisting entirely of songs about Brian Wilson. So that's what this is. I gave him free reign, and only helped him some with suggestions on song selection.

I would have never come up with the idea for this album, because I had no idea that there would be enough songs about Brian Wilson to make up an entire album. I knew of the song "Brian Wilson" by Barenaked Ladies, since that was a hit back in the 1990s, but that was about it. But Fabio must be a really big fan, because he found so many songs that we had to cut some out to keep the album from getting too long.

The album starts with a rare demo written and sung by Wilson himself. It also ends with two more written and sung by him, including a rare live version of "Love and Mercy." Fabio explained the reasoning for this in an email, which I liked. I'll just paste in his explanation here:

"The Wilson tunes are bookends, as they serve to introduce and close the 'main event' (all the tracks written to him or about him) while bringing a personal Brian touch to the collection. The first song, a 1975, demo works as a prelude (acknowledging Brian's fragility and strength both simultaneously contained in his voice), 'The Last Song' is the epilogue, and 'Love and Mercy' is a coda." 

Regarding the rest of the songs, what Fabio calls the "main event," tracks 2 through 13, are basically divided into two parts. Tracks 2 through 8 are direct tributes to Brian. That's obvious by their titles, but it's not just that: the lyrics and musical style ooze reference and admiration for the man. That's followed by tracks 9 through 13, which are indirect tributes to Brian, or direct tributes to things related to him (the Beach Boys, his health shop, girls, his genius, family), all mentioning him either in the title or lyrics.

So, a big thanks to Fabio from Rio for coming up with the idea for this album and then finding and selecting the songs. As you could guess from the name, he's Brazilian, and hopefully in the future he'll be able to assist in sharing more music from Brazil. I like a lot of music from Brazil, despite not speaking Portuguese at all. I haven't really shared any music from Brazil until now, because I don't have worthy rarities. But he does, so look forward to that in the future. He also has some other plans, including creating one or more albums as a further tribute to Wilson that will consist of songs in a Beach Boys style composed by other musical acts. 

Fabio has also taped a great number of concerts in Brazil. You can find some of them on his YouTube page, here:

John Fogerty - Weeping in the Promised Land - Non-Album Tracks (2013-2022)

I recently got a request from a commenter to post more of my non-album track albums by John Fogerty. I only have one more by him before we get to the present day, more or less. So here it is. (And by the way, I still have lots of these stray track albums to post by various musical acts, but they've been on the backburner compared to BBC albums and other things recently.)

In 2013, the year of the first song in this album, Fogerty was 68 years old. In 2022, the year of the last song in this album, he was 77 years old. As I write this in 2025, he still has a strong voice and plays lead guitar very well, but it's obvious his songwriting creativity has slowed way down. He hasn't released an album of new original songs since 2007. So the songs here mostly consist of cover versions, plus acoustic versions of songs from earlier in his career, with only a couple new originals ("The Holy Grail" and "Weeping in the Promised Land").

The first song, "Sharp Dressed Man," is a ZZ Top song done with Billy Gibbons, the lead vocalist and lead guitarist in ZZ Top. Both Fogerty and Gibbons sang and played lead guitar on it. It's unreleased, from a bootleg. "New Orleans" is a cover of a 1960s hit performed in concert for a Dr. John tribute album. "Give Peace a Chance" and "In My Life" are John Lennon songs done for a Lennon tribute concert in 2015. They come from an official album of highlights of that concert. Tracks 5, 6, 11, and 12 are unreleased acoustic versions of hits Fogerty had earlier in his career, mostly from when he a member of Creedence Clearwater Revival. They're from radio or Internet shows. "Long as I Can See the Light" is particularly interesting since it was played on piano instead of guitar as usual. 

"Love and War" is a song performed with country star Brad Paisley from his 2017 album, also called "Love and War." "I Won't Back Down" is a cover of the classic Tom Petty song. This is from an concert bootleg, and the sound quality is a little poorer than the other songs. "The Holy Grail" is a single from 2018, and "Weeping in the Promised Land" is a single from 2021. 

"With a Little Help from My Friends" is a cover of the Beatles song from the 2019 official live album "50 Year Trip: Live at Red Rocks." However, it is done in the same style as Joe Cocker's famous hit cover version. "Walk, Don't Run," is a cover on the famous instrumental hit by the Ventures. Fogerty only performed it once in concert, on January 22, 2022, because it was done in honor of the lead guitarist for the Ventures, Don Wilson, who died earlier in the day. Finally, "The City of New Orleans" is yet another cover song of a classic, done from a various artists collection of train songs in 2022.

This album is 49 minutes long.

Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 19: In Concert, BBC Radio Theatre, London, Britain, 11-1-2018

I'm getting close! Just one more album after this, and I'll be caught up to present day with Paul Weller BBC albums. This is a BBC concert from 2018.

This concert is very similar to an official live album, "Other Aspects: Live at the Royal Festival Hall." Both were recorded in London in late 2018 with a band and a full orchestra. But this is an entirely different concert that took place about half a month after that concert. Naturally, their set lists are pretty similar. In all honesty, you might just want that official live album, since it's a full concert too and has more songs on it. But this is an unreleased BBC concert with excellent sound quality, so I'm posting it anyway.

Weller released the studio album "True Meanings" not long prior to this concert, in September 2018. So naturally there are a bunch of songs here from that. But he also goes back as far as his days with the Jam and the Style Council, selecting songs that work well with orchestral backing.

This album is an hour and 11 minutes long.

Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 18: 2018-2024

Here's another album of Paul Weller performing for the BBC. This is a collection of BBC studio sessions, from 2018 to 2024.

I'm finally getting close to the end of the BBC albums from him that I want to post. I'm caught up to the present day with studio sessions (since I'm writing this in early 2025). However, I still have two more BBC concerts to post. And I assume he'll keep performing for the BBC in the future, since he's been doing so ever since he first started getting widespread attention back in 1977.

Everything here is officially unreleased, from lots of different sessions. The first four songs are from 2018. The next one is from 2019. Tracks six and seven are from 2020. Track eight is from 2021. The remainder are from 2024. A couple of the songs had some audience applause. But I used the MVSEP audio program to get rid of all of the applause, so everything sounds like a studio recording.

For the most part, the songs are originals from Weller's then-current albums, or occasionally from earlier in his music career. However, he included some covers he didn't put on albums. For instance, "Days" is the Kinks classic. "Nobody's Fool" is an obscure track also by the Kinks, only later released as a bonus track. This version was performed with Suggs, who is the lead singer of the band Madness. "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)" is a classic 1970s soul song first done by Jr. Walker and the All-Stars. "Say You Don't Mind" was a minor hit in 1967 by Denny Laine, who was the first lead singer for the Moody Blues back in the 1960s.

This album is an hour and one minute long.

UPDATE: On August 11, 2025, I added two songs I'd previously missed, "Flying Fish" and "I Woke Up."

02 What Would He Say (Paul Weller)

Covered: Stevie Wonder, Volume 7: 2005-2018

Here is the seventh and last volume of Stevie Wonder's "Covered" series. Just as a reminder, like all the "Covered" albums I post, the emphasis is on the songwriting. So these are all songs written or co-written by Wonder, but performed by others.

By the time period of this album, 2005 to 2018, Wonder's songwriting had slowed way down. In fact, writing this in 2025, Wonder still hasn't released a new studio album since 2005. So all the songs here are covers from earlier years, especially from his golden era of the 1970s. "You Met Your Match" is the oldest song here, from 1968.

Finally, with this volume, the full scope of Wonder's songwriting genius can be seen. Some of his best songs don't show up until this volume. So all seven volumes should be seen as a whole. 

Just by chance, I didn't find any covers that I liked best from after 2018. But I'm sure more great covers will emerge in the years to come.

This album is 59 minutes long.

01 I'm Going Left (Eric Clapton)
02 You Haven't Done Nothin' (Joe Cocker)
03 Village Ghetto Land (Jen Chapin)
04 You Met Your Match (Tower of Power)
05 Sir Duke (Devon Allman)
06 Do I Do (Cuban Jazz Combo)
07 True to Your Heart (Wailing Souls)
08 Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer (Phil Collins)
09 Part-Time Lover (Hyannis Sound)
10 Jesus Children of America (Michele Thomas)
11 Master Blaster [Jammin'] (Minnie Driver)
12 Happier than the Morning Sun (Venice)
13 Another Star (Denise King & Massimo Farao Trio)
14 He's Misstra Know It All (Beverley Knight)
15 I Just Called to Say I Love You (John Prine)

Freedonia - The Secret Side Project of Christopher Cross, 2018-2021- Freedonia (2018-2021) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

With my big VH-1 Storytellers project done, this is a good time for another Mike Solof guest post. He actually has a handful of albums that he's getting ready, but this is the first one to be finalized.

Do you remember singer-songwriter Christopher Cross? He had some big hits in the early 1980s, like "Sailing," "Ride like the Wind," and "Arthur's Theme (Best You Can Do)." His commercial sales declined quite a lot after that, but he kept putting out new music and touring. In 2018, he joined a local band in Austin, Texas, called Freedonia. This band put out a studio album in 2018, another one in 2019, and an EP in 2021 (though it was actually recorded back in 2018 and 2019). Mike has noted this has basically been a secret side project for Cross, because he hasn't put his name on the record covers (even though he does all the lead vocals and most of the songwriting), and the band apparently only performs concerts in the Austin area. It seems to be a labor of love.

Mike has put together a compilation of what he considers the best of Freedonia's music. So if you haven't heard of this band, and you probably haven't, this is a good way to check them out. It's a kind of jazz rock that sounds a lot like Steely Dan. As usual, Mike has included a PDF file that gives his thoughts plus some photos.

Oh, and there's an interesting bonus track. Most people don't know that Cross is actually a really talented lead guitarist too. His 1980 hit "Ride like the Wind" has a ripping guitar solo at the end of the song that was buried deep down in the mix. But with advances in audio software, that solo has been brought up in the mix. So that's the bonus track. (By the way, there's a whole YouTube video by Rick Beato taking about that very solo that you should check out.)

This album is 58 minutes long.

01 Enjoy the Show (Freedonia)
02 Leaving It Up to the Moon (Freedonia)
03 Firefly (Freedonia)
04 Bring Back the Dinosaurs (Freedonia)
05 The Lost River [Instrumental] (Freedonia)
06 Gone So Long (Freedonia)
07 The World Is Broken (Freedonia)
08 Van the Bluesman (Freedonia)
09 Westeros [Instrumental] (Freedonia)
10 When All is Said and Done (Freedonia)
11 You'll Go It Alone (Freedonia)
12 Soweto (Freedonia)
13 FBI (Freedonia)
14 Ride like the Wind [Remix] (Christopher Cross)

Sara Bareilles - Non Sequiturs, Volume 1 (2007-2023) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

Have you heard of Sara Bareilles? Up until recently, I had not. But frequent guest poster Mike Solof came to me recently with a proposal to post an album of original, unreleased songs by her. I listened to it and thought it was good, so I approved posting it. But I also wondered how many people will download it if they hadn't heard of it before, like me. So I suggested to Mike that he make an album of cover songs she's done, all from stray tracks, so people who just love good music can listen to her and discover she has a great voice. So that's what this is.

As usual with Mike's post, you can find a lot more information in his PDFs he writes and includes in the downloads. So check that out. And the other Sara Bareilles album I mentioned is in the works and should be posted here too.

This album is an hour and four minutes long.

01 I Want You Back (Straight No Chaser & Sara Bareilles)
02 Single Ladies [Put a Ring on It] (Sara Bareilles)
03 Oh Darling (Sara Bareilles)
04 I Can Let Go Now (Sara Bareilles)
05 In Your Eyes (Sara Bareilles)
06 I've Had the Time of My Life (Sara Bareilles)
07 Fuck You (Sara Bareilles)

09 I Don't Know How to Love Him (Sara Bareilles)
10 River (Sara Bareilles)

I have no idea when or where the cover photo is from, and I doubt Mike does either. But he presented a bunch of options to me for the cover photo, and I liked this one the best, so here we are. I'm guessing there are different colors on her because she was sitting near a stained glass window, which I think is a cool effect.

Fiona Apple - Cover Songs, Volume 4: 2016-2022

Here's the last of four volumes of Fiona Apple performing cover versions. I particularly enjoyed this series, and I wish it could keep going, but this is all I could find with worthy sound quality. This last volume gets us caught up to the present day, more or less (as I write this in early 2024).

All but four of the songs here have been officially released. They're from the usual mix of movie soundtracks, appearances on other artist's albums, and various artists compilations. 

As for the unreleased ones, those are tracks 1, 2, 3, and 9. The first one, "Ain't That a Shame," was done for an Internet show. The next two are from another Internet show, this one hosted by musician Andrew Bird (and they're duets with Bird). I included three other songs from that same show on the previous album in this series. Finally, the ninth song, "The Whole of the Moon," was done for the TV show "The Affair," but it only appeared in the show, not on a soundtrack for it or anything like that.

There are two bonus tracks, "All Night Thing" and "You Don't Own Me." They're both from audience concert bootlegs. Their quality was good enough for bonus tracks (some others didn't even make that cut), but not good enough for the album proper.

Here's a list of the original artists for each song:

01 Ain't That a Shame - Fats Domino
02 Why - Andrew Bird
03 Oh, Sister - Bob Dylan
04 I Can't Wait to Meet You - Solangie Jimenez & Thomas Cabaniss
05 Your Molecular Structure - Mose Allison
06 It Won't Be Wrong - Byrds
07 In My Room - Beach Bosy
08 Don't Worry 'Bout Me - Katherine Perry
09 The Whole of the Moon - Waterboys
10 7 O'Clock News - Silent Night - Simon & Garfunkel medley, including "Silent Night" by Franz Xaver Gruber & Joseph Mohr
11 Love More - Sharon Van Etten
12 [Remember Me] I'm the One Who Loves You - Stuart Hamblen
13 Where the Shadows Lie - Bear McCreary

All Night Thing - Temple of the Dog
You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore

And here's the usual song list:

01 Ain't That a Shame (Fiona Apple)
02 Why (Fiona Apple & Andrew Bird)
03 Oh, Sister (Fiona Apple & Andrew Bird)
04 I Can't Wait to Meet You (Fiona Apple)
05 Your Molecular Structure (Tippo All Stars & Fiona Apple)
06 It Won't Be Wrong (Fiona Apple & Jakob Dylan)
07 In My Room (Fiona Apple & Jakob Dylan)
08 Don't Worry 'Bout Me (Jeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra with Fiona Apple)
09 The Whole of the Moon (Fiona Apple)
10 7 O'Clock News - Silent Night (Phoebe Bridgers, Fiona Apple & Matt Berninger)
11 Love More (Fiona Apple)
12 [Remember Me] I'm the One Who Loves You (Watkins Family Hour with Fiona Apple)
13 Where the Shadows Lie (Fiona Apple & Bear McCreary)

All Night Thing (Fiona Apple)
You Don't Own Me (Shirley Manson & Fiona Apple)

Mark Knopfler - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: 2004-2018

This is the next volume of Mark Knopfler performing for the BBC. This time, it consists of studio sessions.

Everything on this album is unreleased. But it's all top notch in terms of sound quality. Only one song, "Haul Away," was played in front of an audience. 

The first three songs are from a 2004 radio session. The next two are from a 2007 session, and then one song is from a 2009 session. The song after that, "Haul Away," is the one live one I just mentioned, from a BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ceremony in 2016. The remaining songs are from three different sessions in 2018.

This album deals with a pretty large period in time - fourteen years. I must say I'm surprised Knopfler didn't do more BBC performances in those years, since it seems like an ideal way for him to promote his music. However, he did do one much longer session in 2007. That's not here because it's enough for an album of its own, which will be Volume 5. If anyone knows of anything I missed, please let me know.

This album is 52 minutes long.

01 Everybody Pays (Mark Knopfler)
02 Boom like That (Mark Knopfler)
03 Song for Sonny Liston (Mark Knopfler)
04 Let It All Go [Acoustic Version] (Mark Knopfler)
05 Secondary Waltz (Mark Knopfler)
06 Get Lucky (Mark Knopfler)
07 Haul Away (Mark Knopfler)
08 Waterbound (Mark Knopfler)
09 Romeo and Juliet (Mark Knopfler)
10 Good on You Son (Mark Knopfler)
11 The Boxer (Mark Knopfler)
12 Going Home [Theme From 'Local Hero'] [Instrumental] (Mark Knopfler)

Sheryl Crow - The Good Fight - Non-Album Tracks (2018-2020)

Phew. Sheryl Crow has sooo many stray tracks. This is the nineteenth album of non-album tracks I've posted so far, and I still have two more to go to get caught up to the present day.

By now, you probably know the drill. This is the usual mix of released and unreleased tracks. There are six released tracks this time, and in four cases they're from Crow appearing on albums by other artists. The two others are A-sides ("Woman in the White House" and "Lonely Town, Lonely Street").

As for the three unreleased tracks, those are "Tumbling Dice," "Walk Away," and "Redemption Day." "Tumbling Dice" sounds a bit rough, and just barely made the cut. Everything else on the album sounds very good though. As for the song "Redemption Day," Crow has done versions just by herself and also as a duet with Johnny Cash. This is another duet version, but with Bruce Springsteen singing Cash's part.

There are two bonus tracks, both from bootlegs. The sound quality wasn't good enough for those.

This album is 39 minutes long, not counting the bonus tracks.

01 My Sweet Love (Reef & Sheryl Crow)
02 The Good Fight (Timothy B. Schmit & Sheryl Crow)
03 Tumbling Dice (Sheryl Crow)
04 Turn Off the News [Build a Garden] (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real & Sheryl Crow)
05 Walk Away (Sheryl Crow & Joe Walsh)
06 Redemption Day (Sheryl Crow & Bruce Springsteen)
07 Everywhere You Go (Ziggy Marley & Sheryl Crow)
08 Woman in the White House [2020 Version] (Sheryl Crow)
09 Lonely Town, Lonely Street (Sheryl Crow with Citizen Cope)

Black Dog (Robert Plant & Sheryl Crow)
When Will I Be Loved (Sheryl Crow)

https://www.upload.ee/files/16054504/SherylC_2018-2020_ThGoodFght_atse.zip.html

This time, I used a concert poster for the album cover. I had to cut off a lot of the bottom part of the poster to get it to fit. I also write the album name over where the name of her back up band had been. (It used to say "and the Thieves.")

Sheryl Crow - The Dreaming Kind - Non-Album Tracks (2016-2018)

One these years, I'm going to finish posting all the Sheryl Crow stray tracks albums. Moving forward chronologically, I'm getting closer to the present day (as I write this in November 2023).

I believe this is the 18th, Crow stray tracks album I've posted. If you're familiar with some of the others, you should know the drill by now. Seven of the songs are officially released, and they're the usual mix of songs from movie soundtracks, bonus tracks, various artists compliations, and the like. Two of the songs, "The Dreaming Kind" and "Wouldn't Want to Be like You," were A-sides, but weren't big hits.

The other four songs are unreleased. One of them, "Dude I'm Still Alive," is kind of a jokey song making fun of rumors that she had died. It was done in the studio and put on the Internet. The other three unreleased songs are all from concert bootlegs, and are covers of classic songs ("Fire and Rain," "Go Your Own Way," and "New Kid in Town.").

There's one bonus track, another live cover of a classic song, "For What It's Worth." Unfortunately, the sound quality just wasn't good enough to put it with the other songs.

This album is 44 minutes long.

01 Dancing with Your Shadow (Sheryl Crow)
02 Embraceable You (Willie Nelson & Sheryl Crow)
03 Natural High (Sheryl Crow)
04 New Kid in Town (Sheryl Crow & Grace Potter)
05 Fire and Rain - Your Smiling Face (Sheryl Crow)
06 The Dreaming Kind (Sheryl Crow)
07 Dude, I'm Still Alive (Sheryl Crow)
08 I'm Tied to Ya (Rodney Crowell & Sheryl Crow)
09 Disappearing World (Sheryl Crow)
10 Go Your Own Way (Sheryl Crow)
11 Wouldn't Want to Be like You (Sheryl Crow with Annie Clark)

For What It's Worth (Sheryl Crow)

https://www.upload.ee/files/15931247/SherylC_2016-2018_ThDreamngKnd_atse.zip.html

Like the cover for the last album in this series, I got tired of album covers that were just photos of Sheryl Crow. So this time, I found some nice artwork that was part of one of her concert posters. That included her name at the top. As usual with posters, I had to crop the image to turn the rectangular shape into a square one. I added the album name at the bottom.

Belle & Sebastian - BBC Sessions, Volume 14: 2017-2022

Finally, here is the last album of Belle and Sebastian performing for the BBC. Or at least it's the last for now, as I'm all caught up to 2023. I read that the band's main lead singer Stuart Murdoch is having some health issues, but is planning on having the band tour again in 2024.

It's almost false advertising to call this a BBC album though. Only the first two songs actually come from a BBC session. But the rest all come from radio station sessions that sound just like BBC sessions. It would be more accurate to call this a collection of radio stations in general, but I figure I can take a little creative license after so many BBC albums in this series.

More specifically, the first two songs are from a 2017 BBC concert. I only posted two unique songs (including a fun cover of "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses) because most of the concert is similar to the 2017 BBC concert I posted as "Volume 13" in this series. Tracks 3 through 7 are from a 2018 concert in Germany that was broadcast on the radio there. Then there's a big chronological gap, due to the Covid pandemic. Tracks 8 through 12 are from a Seattle radio station, and tracks 13 to 16 are from an NPR "Tiny Desk" concert in Washington, DC.

This album is 53 minutes long.

01 Are You Coming Over for Christmas (Belle & Sebastian)
02 Christmas Wrapping (Belle & Sebastian)
03 Show Me the Sun (Belle & Sebastian)
04 If She Wants Me (Belle & Sebastian)
05 talk (Belle & Sebastian)
06 Piazza, New York Catcher (Belle & Sebastian)
07 Poor Boy (Belle & Sebastian)
08 String Bean Jean (Belle & Sebastian)
09 If They're Shooting at You (Belle & Sebastian)
10 She's Losing It (Belle & Sebastian)
11 Unnecessary Drama (Belle & Sebastian)
12 talk (Belle & Sebastian)
13 Working Boy in New York City (Belle & Sebastian)
14 Reclaim the Night (Belle & Sebastian)
15 talk (Belle & Sebastian)
16 Judy and the Dream of Horses (Belle & Sebastian)

I found the cover photo with a 2023 Rolling Stone article. I assume it's from 2023 or at least 2022.

Bad Lip Reading - Seagulls - Selected Best Tracks (2011-2019)

Okay, here's something really weird. You may have heard of "Bad Lip Reading" (BLR). It's a YouTube channel created and run by an anonymous producer who intentionally lip-reads video clips poorly, for comedic effect. Many of his videos have gone viral. In fact, his channel has gotten over a billion views.

His videos rely on the fact that when a person says or sings something, the motions of their mouth could also be the exact same motions of some other words. There are a limited number of alternates of what could be said, and he picks phrases for comedic effect. As an example, there's a line in the BTS hit song "Idol" that goes: "You can't stop me lovin' myself." Yet BLR overdubs that to be "You took a sample of my pasta," and it fits the mouth movements perfectly.

You can read more about BLR at its Wikipedia page:

Bad Lip Reading - Wikipedia

What's maybe less known is that BLR has made about thirty songs using this same technique. The songs will use the mouth movements of a scene from a famous movie, or sometimes a music video. But this is even more impressive, because he creates a brand new song to go with the comedic misunderstood lip reading. Even if it's based on a music video of a hit song, he throws that out and comes up with a totally new song from scratch.

The crazy thing is, these songs are really, really good! The lyrics are bizarre, but the production, performance, melody, and every other aspect are top notch. Apparently, this anonymous person does everything: writing the songs, playing all the instruments, producing the vocals, and even singing all the vocals parts. He uses a vocal modulator to make his voice sound whatever he wants it to be, even female voices.

This is all very amusing. But I have to say, all joking aside, from a pure musical level alone, I'm extremely impressed. It's widely speculated that the anonymous person behind BLR must be a very successful music producer, because there are very few people on the planet with the skills to pull this off so successfully. If you peruse the many thousands of comments on each of the YouTube videos of his songs, you'll see one theme over and over, that people actually prefer the songs he wrote over the songs they were based on (when they're based on music videos), and that they could easily be hit songs if their lyrics weren't so bizarre. 

I totally agree. I'm not much of a fan of modern pop, finding it generally formulaic and musically simple. But it modern pop was like his songs, I'd be much more of a fan. The bizarre, funny lyrics are actually a plus in my opinion, because they're the complete opposite of the same ol', same ol' cliched and simple lyrics of the vast majority of modern hit songs. Plus, the lyrics often vaguely make sense in intriguing ways.

To fully appreciate these songs, you need to do to his YouTube channel and watch the videos. Here's a link to help you get there:

Bad Lip Reading - YouTube

But, heck, I just like hearing these songs even without the video element. This album is for other people who feel the same. However, I only took some of my favorite songs, in the hopes this will make you want to go to his channel and see the rest of them, and well as his other funny videos.

Six of the songs here are based on the "Star Wars" movies. The others are either based on other famous movies or TVs or music videos of very popular hits. If you go to the Wikipedia page linked to above, you can find charts that explain the source material of each song.

As an aside, I'm pleased to say that many of the famous people who had their movies or songs parodied by BLR have publicly commented how much they've enjoyed his work. For instance, Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films, said this in 2017: "I love them, and I showed Carrie [Fisher, who played Princess Leia] the Yoda one… we were dying. I showed it to her in her trailer. She loved it. I retweeted it..." He actually went on to take part in another BLR video, reading the vocal lines of the character Han Solo in a scene. 

As another example, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the maker of the smash hit play "Hamilton," called one of the songs here, "Bushes of Love," "THE summer jam of 2017" and said that BLR had "made my life" by parodying some of his songs. In my opinion, in a better alternate universe, many of these would be hit songs in their own right.

This album is 48 minutes long.

01 Gang Fight (Bad Lip Reading)
02 Carl Poppa (Bad Lip Reading)
03 Hey Choo Choo Go (Bad Lip Reading)
04 Bushes of Love (Bad Lip Reading)
05 Seagulls [Stop It Now] (Bad Lip Reading)
06 Not the Future (Bad Lip Reading)
07 Hostiles on the Hill (Bad Lip Reading)
08 Ice God of Hungary (Bad Lip Reading)
09 It's Not a Moon (Bad Lip Reading)
10 Chocolate Lagoon (Bad Lip Reading)
11 Sample of My Pasta (Bad Lip Reading)
12 My Stick (Bad Lip Reading)

https://www.upload.ee/files/15124389/BadLpRead_2011-2019_Seaglls_atse.zip.html

The cover photo uses a still of a scene featuring Yoda from the Star Wars move "The Empire Strikes Back." But someone, maybe BLR, added in a microphone. So I figured that was ideal for this cover.
