Stormy Monday Blues Allman Brothers Band live
I grew up thinking he was singing, “...than the latest knife...”, because it was at about the same time Bobby Darrin’s “Mack The Knife” stayed #1 on the charts for like 28 weeks in a row.
Buffet - Rhymin’ and Reason in Hurricane Season.
And any other song by Buffet.
Beethoven’s 9th 4th Movement, Ode to Joy is also good.
- ZZ Top (second album, 1972)
“Rainey Night In Georgia”.
Good timing there.
I think Tina Turner did it also.
“Love, Rain O’re Me”
I first heard that a few years back and fell in love with it. Amazing song and by the king of rock bands! It amazes me that The Who played and produced that song.
Great recommendation!
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
My favorite covers are by Burl Ives, Judy Collins (yes, Judy Collins - one of the few female covers), Anton Myburgh, Duane Eddy, Johnny Cash, Kevin Lovatt, Marty Robbins, Patrick Norman, Richard Kiser, The Sons of the Pioneers, Vaugn Monroe, and Vic Damone. All have some remarkable variations on the theme, but powerful male baritones rule (except for Judy Collins).
“Full Disclosure” by Stormy Daniels.
That is a GREAT song, isn’t it?
"Last Kiss by made popular by J. Frank Wilson in 1964. Lots of covers since then, too, but Wilson's is the one I remember best.
It's only obliquely a "stormy" song because of the line near the end: "When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down; There were people standing all around"
The story is deep (no pun intended).
The musicians are absolutely spot on and professional.
Listen to the ‘raindrop effect’ of the lead piano.
The piano acts as a Greek Chorus to the narrator or vocalist. This is a much overlooked song, occurring about 1961, on the edge of the 50’s sound, and the cusp of country ballads. Frankie Lane (Rawhide, High Noon, That Lucky Old Sun) also sang songs like this one, but his voice was more nasal, and not nearly as flexible as Pat Boone’s.
One of my favorite Dylan albums (vinal)
