The Shadow Knows: The Coasters

October 23, 2010The Carlton Weaver: The Highwaymen
October 22, 2010This song is from The Best of the Highwaymen which was reissued as a CD in 1992. When I did a bit of research for this song, I found out it is also titled The Calton Weaver and that Calton was a village, swallowed up by Glasgow in the early 20th century. Here is the Wikipedia link to the story of the weavers.
Lady With the Braid: Dory Previn
October 22, 2010This song is from Dory’s 1971 album Mythical Kings and Iguanas. She has appeared here on Coffee before and I described her as overlooked, missed by many. She wrote the lyrics to Valley of the Dolls which for some is Dory’s only claim to fame. That would change if people listened to her albums.
My friend sblake reminded me today is Dory’s 85th birthday, and I’m sending warm wishes.
Good Morning Starshine: Serena Ryder
October 21, 2010This song is the sound of morning to me.
I know Oliver had a hit with it in 1969, but I also like this cover. It is from Serena’s 2006 album If Your Memory Serves You Well. When I was looking up the original date for this song, I read that the album Get Together with Andy Williams, also released in 1969, had him singing this song with The Osmond Brothers. Another note mentioned that in the 1996 movie A Very Brady Sequel the villain Trevor Thomas ate psychoactive mushrooms in spaghetti that Alice made for him, and he daydreamed being in another world with this song.
