The Weakerthans is just one of the those bands that grow on you. John K Sampson's lyrics are a real treat.

This song is about a bus driver who has to constantly drive by the house where he and his ex used to live.

"this part of the day bewilders me..."

The Housemartins - Caravan of Love

reminds me of times that seem to be less turbulent but yet had their own turbulence...

The Housemartins were one of the most overlooked bands of the 80s. Good share, cyn.

I added Twilight Singers - Bonnie Brae.
Great band. Great song.

I need to diversify and expand my musicology. I have but an intimate knowledge of less than 700 songs at the moment, so I will add this one for you all since I discovered it just now.

I find it interesting that mixedmedia would class House of the Rising Sun as country. That interpretation does have a definite country influence, but I would still call it blues.

In the spirit of that, I thought we could do with some Muddy Waters.

That was me

And it is a take on the song done in the traditional vein...not so much country, but I was taking the short cut.

Keeping on with the blues. What better artist for the "HollaWalla" than Howlin' Wolf?

I debated Albert King or Mississippi John Hurt. Al won in the end for having more soul.
