Apparently there is a real shortage of Northern Soul being thrown about on podomatic, and in the podcast world in general, because for some reason my last Northern show went nuts, and is still going nuts, in spite of my "regulars" grabbing it the first day it was up. Well, always your main man, bringing the tunes you want to hear, Johnny on the SPOT if you will- here is the first in a new series of Cloverdale All-Niter shows. The last time around, this stuff went over like a fart in Church, but my listening stats are showing that will not be the case next time around. In any event, I went through my collection and deemed 820 songs worthy of being here...that is 41 episodes. No doubt we will all tire before we get to than endpoint, but for now, Northern Soul it is!
1.Dining in a Chinese Restaurant – Jennifer Wells
2.Take Me Back- Freddie Gorman
3. My Mama Told Me- Barbara Lewis
4.Say Yes Baby- The Matadors
5. My Kind Of A Girl- Volumes
6. Don’t Say Maybe Baby- The Capitols
7.Baby Come Back Home- Shorty Long
8. Stranger In my Arms- Lynne Randall
9. I Think I’m Falling In Love (fast version)- Bettye Swann
10. This Heart Of Mine- Jimmy James and the Vagabonds
11. Big City Playboy- Jimmy Andrews
12. Get A Hold Of Yourself- The Platters
13. Our Love Is Getting Stronger- The Whispers
14.Shy Guy- The Radiants
15. I Got The Power- Joanne Courcy
16.Happy Go Lucky Me- The Bobbettes
17. Call Me Tomorrow- Major Lance
18. That’s the Way He Is- Ann Perry

This is the last one in the series...I have run out of ideas. In any event- some great funky tunes here from Jamaica and other points. One in particular is from Canada, and having bought Mittoo's Wishbone album a while back and loving it, I am finding there are a lot of Jamaicans that made Funk in Canada...who knew Canada was so funky?
Well, that about says it- thanks to those fo you wh weathered the whole thing...and in advance for anyone that suggests what I should do next as I am fresh out of ideas folks- 120 shows down and more to go, but what?

I got this mom...I guess we all have one. Mine is really into Doo-Wop and by association (by total submersion as a youth), so am I. Glad I picked up on this side of her music tastes as she is also a HUGE Eagles fan and I HATE THE EAGLES!!!
OK- rant over- back to the idea here. Came to me as the nights grew warmer. I got all this really rare Doo-Wop sitting around and know one really knows any of it- including mom who has listened to a lot fo it for the last fifty years. In any event- why not do a show that is not about the really up-beat stuff I always play, and more about the classic "Make-Out". Good enough- started off with moms favorite (oh how my dad winces when she makes him dance)and kept it going.
Soooo- grab your sweetheart- get in the car and go somewhere to park it, steam up those windows real good and wait for the familiar tap of the end of a policeman's flashlight on the window- all good things.

A little collection of Mento and Calypso sounds tho kick off the summer as I sit here and think "What is next? I basically cannot separate the two into two groups, but for the uninitiated- Mento is the original folk music of Jamaica (modern Jamaica) and it dates back to the 20's. It differs from Calypso a bit in terms of instrumentation and, given the popularity of Calypso in the 1950's in America, often sound quality. OK- enough of that academic garbage- on with the TUNES!

Was talking about classic country over on the worlds biggest Reggae Forum (do not ask how that happens) and DMC mentioned he had a gap in his collection and suggested I fill it- easy enough, I bring you today some Lefty Frizzell.
Lefty is probably one of my favorite vocalists, and you can hear immediately the influence he had on George Jones and Merle Haggard I think. In any event- these are some great classic country tunes that for the initiated will seem boring...but there is a reason they are his "hits". Lefty died way to young at the age of 47 from a massive stroke. Seems a penchant for booze was bound to kill him, but his legacy is that he was an amazing songwriter and singer that should be known to all.
Enjoy

My mom has this friend Linda- they have been friends for years, but rarely see each other anymore. when we were kids though (me and my little sister), Linda was as much a part of our lives as our parents. We were with her all the time, she was like one of those great aunts that would take you anywhere and let you do anything.
My favorite memory of trips with Linda was when there was nothing on TV and we would hop into Peter Put-Put, her Volkswagon Bug, and head for Oakland. Strange place for two VERY Caucasian children on a Friday night, but that is where I got my first taste for soul.
Add to it that our destination was a ROLLER DISCO and you have the perfect recipe for the dementia you see here. I have never been able to shake my love for Roller Disco, or for 12" late 70's and early 80's soul...so I figured I would share. I will spare you all pictures of me in my Roller Disco outfit though, those you are not ready for.
As Always- enjoy the tunes

For about the last three weeks I have been listening almost exclusively to Gillian Welch. For the uninitiated, she was part of the musical bounty that is "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" and has been a staple in the alt-country/folk circles for a long time. She is also incidentally part of the production team that brought us the first few Old Crow Medicine Show records (sorry guys- last one did not do it for me).
I could go on and on, but we are here to share music so here goes- I have decided since my introduction (reinforced by the last few weeks) to this artist that these are truly the most beautiful songs I know. I hope you enjoy them:

I am the LAST guy on the planet to ever play hippy rock, but today something just got stuck in my head right?
I offer you the BYRDS...more than a Hippy Rock band. More than a set of Dylan covers. A band that not only made the garage era in America more exciting, but certainly took hippy to knew levels as well. Add Graham Parsons to the mix and in my estimation, these lads invented Alt-Country too.
But none of that matters- for some reason today my friend Dirty Boy was in my head and would not get out (he does that often) and so this was on the menu (as well as some other unsavory titles). That got me thinking about what a cool guy my dad is (he loves this band) and the road that lead me to being the music junkie I am today...all arrows point to Mr. Spaceman....
Will you please take me along for a ride?
1.Nashville West- Live at the Avalon Ball Room SF CA 1968
2. Mr. Spaceman
3.The Christian Life- Rehearsal Take
4.You’re Still On My Mind
