I shot the sheriff
(But I swear it was in self-defence) oh no, oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff oh, Lord (and they say it is a capital offence)
Yeah, yeah! Hear that...

Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should
But what I got to give will sho' 'nuff do you good
Tell me something good...




#10



Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
(Yes, baby, I'm your doctor of love)...

54 years ago today,

Jimi Hendrix died.

Link to some of his best guitar solos.

The songs by Clapton, Billy Preston and Chaka Khan are all still worth listening to. The rest can sink into obscurity and never be missed.

Going to this show in a couple of weeks in San Diego. Should be interesting.

You are not IN to Andy Kim?





Touching you
So warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly...

That’s quite a lineup.

I recognized Mato Nanji’s name because of this album. If you haven’t heard it, get it.

[Mikey]

I’ll definitely check that out. Something I haven’t heard before. Thanks!

Love me some David Hidalgo. Have you listened to any of the Los Super Seven albums? Those are some pretty cool ensembles.

Thought that was Spray on the left (RIP)

[Roux]

Spray died??

I didn’t think I had ever heard of that song but after listening it did ring a bell. I probably thought it was Neil Diamond when it was on the air.

Not exactly memorable. I’ve had Billy Preston worming through my brain for the past day, though.

[Sudden Sam]

I have not heard the Los Lobos Super Seven stuff. But I will now. Thanks.

Unless Spray died in the last 2 days, he’s fine.

[Screw_Michigan]

Spray died??

I'm trolling
