I think this is Cassandra Wilson doing a rendition of "Wichita Lineman." An old Glenn Campbell tune, right? Interesting.

It's a sunny day here, highway traffic not too bad for a Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. and I just heard Ike Turner on the radio.
Baby's Got It.
I was feeling pretty damn good seconds into it and down right happy by the end.
Listeners were informed that he's playing piano, guitar and bass. Multi tracking and overdubbing never sounded so good.
Went to the Stax Studio Museum in Memphis. Spent 4 hours in the shrine. 1 hour staring at Booker T's M4 Hammond organ...lol
First heard The Long Black Veil by the Kingston Trio. People think it's an old 18th century ballad but it was written by Mary Jane Wilkin back in the early 60's and was first recorded by Johnny Cash in 1963.
BTW, her son was Ronnie from Ronnie & The Daytonas- GTO fame
hiya Joe
Poor Ike, one of the classic 'love your art, hate your persona' people.
Ahh Stax. Wilson, Aretha.
Ever hear the story about Motown's Funk Brothers - there was a respected female bass player (who's name completely escapes me but I can look it up) who claims that the many of the Funk Brother's backing tracks weren't used on the released versions of many Motown hits and that often the session guys she played with provided the finished product. I'm sure Panz has heard the story, any idea on how true it is?
Ike Turner and his band, deaturing Billy Gales, is credited with recording the first Rock n' roll song, at Sun Records, wih Sam Phillips. "Tore Up", 1951.
