Monday Random Ten (Ernie Banks edition)

Did the random ten last Monday but forgot to post it, so in the immortal words of Ernie Banks, it's a beautiful day, let's play two!

Let's...hit...shuffle!

Monday 5/4/2020
Dave Brady and The Stars - Ridin' High
Bill Staines - Eyes to Eyes
A Girl Called Eddy - Did You See the Moon Tonight
Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - Dress Blues (Live)
Aretha Franklin - You Send Me (mono)
The Beatles - She Loves You (Live at the BBC)
Southside Johnny with La Bamba's Big Band - Shiver Me Timbers
The Suicide Commandos - Burn It Down
Rosanne Cash - Price of Temptation
Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi - He Will See You Through

Bonus 11
Jeff Lynne's ELO - Time Of Our Life

Dave Brady's tune's from the great Twin Cities Funk & Soul:  Lost Grooves from Minneapolis/St. Paul 1964-1979 compilation. We've been really digging A Girl Called Eddy for the last couple of months. We also think Jason Isbell has written the most powerful song about the endless war in the Middle East. 

Monday 5/11/2020
Dwight Yoakam - Ring of Fire
Fleetwood Mac - Sara
The Jayhawks - Darling Today (from "Blown Away" soundtrack)
Howlin' Wolf - How Many More Years
Jackson Browne - Rock Me on the Water
Neil Young - Southern Man
Vigilantes of Love - Version of the Truth
Peter Gabriel - This Is the Picture (Excellent Birds)
Rosanne Cash - Paralyzed
Mark Heard - Tip of My Tongue

Bonus 11
Ray Charles - I Can't Stop Loving You

Dwight Yoakam's debut, Guitars, Cadillacs, etc. etc. is still fantastic. The Jayhawks tune is from the "Blown Away" soundtrack, which also has Aretha doing the great "If You Lose Me". I feel bad for Jackson Browne, having to follow Wolf. Interesting that Ms. Cash shows up batting ninth again.

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("Really, Ray? We know everyone was doing it, but you thought that chorale singing backups sounded good?")
