REGGAE TUNES I MISS WHEN I AM AWAY...

Cloverdale Dave — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:28:18 GMT

This week I had the occasion to go camping with my wife and the hounds. While camping is a great endeavor- out in the woods away from it all, I found the quiet maddening. I found myself humming to stave off insanity, and the list of tunes that popped into my head is presented here- Reggae I desperately missed whilst off in the middle of the woods.

One for Buck...A Merle Haggard Tribute

Cloverdale Dave — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:58:45 GMT

I got this friend Buck I always argue with over who is the "King Of Bakersfield". I say it is Buck Owens...who I am a huge fan of, he says it is Merle Haggard- because he is crazy. Anyway, I have to do a show for him because first, he asked me too, and second, he has been dealt a crappy hand lately- all you who come for the Reggae- bless up Buck and his wife right now for me and I promise I will drop some scorchers on you soon. So, an obligation to satisfy a friend who is obviously crazy- do a Merle Show...perhaps the Prince of Bakersfield? Not that the man is bad- these songs are amazing...Buck Owens is just better. But what do I know about music right? Seen- Merle Haggard: 1.California Blues (Blue Yodel No. 4) 2.Think I’ll Just Stay Here And Drink 3.Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8) 4.California Cotton Fields 5.Sing Me Back Home 6.Mama Tried 7.Blue Yodel No. 6 8.Somebody Else You’ve Known 9.Okie From Muskogee 10. Ramblin’ Fever 11. Walkin’ the Floor Over You 12.The Fugitive 13. Shade tree (Fix It Man) 14.The Bottle Let Me Down 15.Sam Hill 16.Strangers 17. I Threw Away the Rose 18. Travelin’ Blues 19.Workin’ Mans Blues 20. Fightin’ Side of Me Buck- I love you you sonofabitch... I cannot believe I did this CD

OTIS!

Cloverdale Dave — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:51:43 GMT

On December 10th, 1967...at just 26 years of age a man whose name would forever be synonymous with the term "Deep Soul" was taken from us way too early. He began his career as the driver for Johnny Jenkins and the Pinetoppers and was discovered during one of their recording sessions...imagine the first time someone heard that voice, as he belted out "These Arms Of Mine" at a Volt session- unbelievable. Otis died before I was born, but he is remembered on a nearly daily basis around these parts. I have mixed the old with the new here- no rhyme or reason, and I have failed to include his only "hit" as I feel, like most "hits", it is sub-par. Hope you enjoy the selection. Testify! 1.I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (live) 2.Fa Fa fa fa fa fa faf afaffsff- Oh forget it- Sad Song 3.Try A Little Tenderness 4.Pain In My Heart 5.These Arms Of Mine (live) 6.I’ve got Dreams To Remember 7.Shout Bamalama 8.Can’t Turn You Loose (live) 9.Hard To Handle 10.I’m Depending On You (live) 11.Mr. Pitiful (live) 12.Fat Girl 13.Gettin’ Hip 14.Sweet Lorene 15.You Left The Water Running 16.Chain Gang 17. Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag (live) 18.Knock On Wood (with Carla Thomas) 19. Any Ol’ Way (live) 20.A Little Time 21.Chained And Bound 22.For Your Precious Love

Cloverdale Dave — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:11:15 GMT

Just an American Boy

Cloverdale Dave — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:45:24 GMT

Well, these days of intense heat and no requests have gotten to me, I cannot for the life of me figure out what to play, especially when I look at the Reggae- help me out folks, I am dying here (if you request Claudette and the Corporation, prepare for me to be rude). Anyway, I don't think I like anyone as much as I like Steve Earle- really. Out of everyone that is still making records today, I think he is the tops, weird huh? Anyway, I got the chance to listen to some idiot talk about how he hated Steve Earle and how he was a trader to the country (who cares?) because of John Walkers Blues. I asked if he had ever heard the song and he said no...gave me some line about not listening to it on principle. Well, he used less syllables. Anyway- I think if half the people pissed about the song listened to it, they would find it was the opposite of what the media made it out to be...but I am surrounded by morons, and I am sure you are too. Jeez- I went on forever right there- lets get to the tunes: 1.Rivers Of Babylon 2.In The Jailhouse Now (with the V-ROYS) 3.Johnny Come Lately (with the Pogues) 4.Steve’s Last Ramble 5.Galway Girl (with Sharron Shannon) 7.Jerusalem 8.Guitar Town 9.Tom Ames Prayer 10. Texas Eagle (with the Del McCoury Band) 11.John Walker’s Blues 12.Creepy Jackalope Eye with the SUPERSUCKERS 13.Tecumseh Valley 14.Until The Day I Die 15.Crying, Waiting Hoping (with Marty Stuart) 16.Ben McCullough 17.You’re Still Standing There 18.Johnny Too Bad (with the VROYS) 19.What’s A Simple Man To Do? 20.Home To Houston 21.Goodbye 22.Dixieland (with Del McCoury) 23.High Fashion Queen (with Chris Hillman) 24.I Don’t Wanna Lose You Yet 25.Nothing But A Child As always- Enjoy

When Dave Was 13...

Cloverdale Dave — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:28:08 GMT

A little tribute to my all time favorite band. I know, how does a guy who loves the RAMONES get so into Reggae? Who knows. Anyway, I think I was about 13 when I discovered the RAMONES, and that day changed my life. They were some of the first records I ever bought, some of the first music I loved, the first band I went into "completist" mode on (those of you that know me know there are lots of those now)...the first time I ever was consumed by music. They are all gone now, but some of us still remember... 1.Durango 95 2.R.A.M.O.N.E.S (Motorhead) 3.Your Gonna Kill That Girl 4.Blitzkrieg Bop (Full Blown Cherry- Rockabilly cover) 5.Blitzkrieg Bop (Live…but I can’t remember where) 6.Palisades Park 7.Let’s Dance 8.Rockaway Beach- unknown Soul Cover 9.Rockaway Beach 10.Danny Says (Demo) 11. 7-11 12. I Just Wanna Have Something To Do 13. Happy Birthday Mr. Burns 14.Chain Saw 15.Glad To See You Go 16.Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio (KISS) 17.Jackie Is A Punk 18.Oh Oh I Love Her So (Live NYC 1978) 19. She’s The One 20. Do You Wanna Dance 21.Ramona 22. Touring (1981 Version) 23.No Go 24. R.A.M.O.N.E.S (Adios Amigos Japanese Version) 25.I Don’t Want To Grow Up Gabba Gabba we except you, we except you one of us As Always- Enjoy

Is there any Country made anymore worth listenin' to?

Cloverdale Dave — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 01:57:28 GMT

Sure there is, you just gotta dig. Cloverdale is about as country as it gets, and everyone here listens to country, including me (when the old soul and reggae are not doing the trick). I suppose I am destroying my "street cred" by posting this stuff lately, but it is the "Songs Stuck in MY Head" and not anyone elses, so I guess I have that right. Really, I think the reason I like Reggae so much is that it has a lot in common with old country, and so does this- you will find no Toby Kieth or Shania Twain in here. Here are some great songs from my collection of Alterna-Twang (which is nearly as large as my Reggae collection) that I hope y'all will like. Anyway, give it a shot- you may be surprised by it. Most the bands herein are young hard-working sorts who could use your cash if you do like what you here, so if there is something you like and cannot find, let me know, I can direct you toward the band. Here is the set: 1.Shut Up And Get On The Plane- Drive By Truckers 2.Hard Livin’ (Live) Justin Townes Earle 3.I Can Get Us Out Of Here- Lucero 4.Hard Core Troubador- Steve Earle 5.Medicine Hat (acoustic live radio version) Son Volt 6.What May Seem Like Love- Whiskeytown 7.Wagon Wheel (first time recorded Live)- Old Crow Medicine Show 8.Florida- Patty Griffin 9.Anna Leigh- The Sadies 10. Ancony Bell- Gillian Welch 11.No Depression- Uncle Tupelo 12.Let It Ride- Ryan Adams & The Cardinals 13.Over The Cliff- Old 97’s 14.Old Man From The Mountain (Live) - The Gourds 15.Liza- Wrinkle Neck Mules 16.Witching Hour- Austin Collins 17.I Pity The Poor Bastard- The Dark Horses 18.Burn In Hell- Two Cow Garage 19. College Days- Robert Earl Keen Jr. As always- Enjoy

One for the Calypsonians...

Cloverdale Dave — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:47:25 GMT

Feeling like a little Mento/Calypso today. Mellow mood brought on by spending the last 24 hours with some very dear friends walking around a track- Relay For Life.
