Radio Jed
I'm going to do this like a free-form radio station using clips from YouTube, sometimes it'll be an eclectic mix sometimes there might be a theme sometimes I may say something about the tune sometimes I'll let the music speak for it self.
Radio Jed Is On The Air! http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2.../Radiojed3.jpg First up one of my all-time favorite rock instrumentals the one and only Santana with "Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) Here's Ryan Bingham from his 2007 debut album "Mescalito" with "Southside Of Heaven". What do you get when you're too country for Nashville?...You get awesome. I don't know what to say about Curtis Mayfield other than heed the advice in this song. Here is one of the best guitarists you've may never have heard of, the great Roy Buchanan and his song "Five String Blues". Early on he breaks a string on the guitar and just plays through like nothing happened. One of my all-time favorite musicians is John Coltrane, his album "Giant Steps" (title tune presented here) was recorded at virtually the same time as Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue" of which Coltrane was an integral part, it's mind blowing that one artist could have so much music in him. |
Really looking forward to this, I need more 50s music and you listen to lots of it.

The music of the 50's will be in the mix but first no radio show would be complete without a kick arse theme, "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?". Here's a song that changed Rock 'n' Roll forever, young John Lennon told Paul McCartney he could join his band because Pauly knew all the words to "Twenty Flight Rock" by Eddie Cochran. The great Robbie Krieger black-eye video, there are three stories floating out there on what happened. 1) Robbie & Jim were jumped by rednecks for having long hair, Jim ducked and Robbie got clocked in the eye. 2) Robbie was in a car crash and hit his head on the dash. and my fave. 3) Jim hated the Robbie penned "Touch Me" and slugged him the eye for having to sing it, ironically working title for the song was "Hit Me". I've been digging this song from Band Of Horses lately. "Laredo". Richmond Fontaine's "You Can Move Back Here" From the album "We Used to Think the Freeway Sounded Like a River" One of the great harp players in Chicago Blues was Little Walter with sage advice to "Mellow Down Easy". Legend has that Jimi Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the worlds greatest guitarist, Jimi answered I don't know you would have to ask Phil Keaggy...OK urban legend has it...but still Phil Keaggy is one of the greatest ever. |
Thanks for posting that Band Of Horses tune there - they're one of those bands I've been thinking about listening to for quite a long time now, but just never had that level of interest sparked off so to speak. Fairly impressive song to embedded there, so that's them pushed up my to-do list...

Oh wow Jedey, you have quite a nice variety here. Looks like you know what you're doing sir. :D Love the Curtis Mayfield and Santana choices. And you have posted alot of great looking stuff that is completely unknown to me. Youtube videos take a painstakingly long time to load on my computer, so I rarely play them, but I will definitely make an exception for this thread and report back. Thank you!

Since embedding videos doesn't always work I'll just post links this time.

The Platters with "The Great Pretender", nothing like a little Doo-Wop to start a Sunday. Fats Domino - "Blueberry Hill". Drop the needle on one of the greatest Rock-N-Roll songs ever, Buddy Holly - "Oh Boy". Just what is the first Rock-N-Roll record? Bill Haley & The Comets - "Rock Around The Clock".... ...or...
