THE THIRD RAIL
Id Music
1967 U.S. pressing

One hell of an infectious #60s #psychedelic pop record, anchored by the almost annoyingly catchy “Run, Run, Run”.

Every one of these songs but one clock in at around two & a half minutes, with the longest one being 3:07. So either way, love it or hate it, it’s over before you know it.
Not much to hate here, though. Pretty fun album.

JOHN LEE HOOKER
It Serve You Right To Suffer
1966 U.S. stereo pressing

Last night, while groggily stumbling around half asleep, I stubbed my toe on our brick fireplace and fractured my foot.
I’m black, blue, swollen and miserable; in huge amounts of pain, so I figured some blues would be appropriate today while I’m laid up.

Maybe it does serve me right. 😂
Who knows…

Continued thread

To piggyback off my post of Peter Kelley, just wanted to post this for those who are intrigued who want to learn a little more about him.
He was a pretty wild dude.
Check out this thing I found. This is just scratching the surface

#JukeboxFridayNight
#HitAndMiss

The Chris Kenner original wasn't a huge hit for him but two other artists had better luck. The legendary Wilson Pickett recorded a successful version, but the band that really had a smash with it was a Mexican-American garage band called "Cannibal and the Headhunters".

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #HitAndMiss. There were multiple options for this theme, I chose "songs that were hits when covered but misses for the original artist".

Aretha Franklin's sister Erma was the first to record this tune later made famous by Janis Joplin. A miss on the charts comparatively, but definitely not a miss otherwise.
