We Like American Music: Podcast #118
What is American Music to you? I think one of the greatest things about American Music is that it can mean something different to everyone. This weeks podcast is a little taste of what it means to me. I sat down and really pondered where the music came from. From it’s Folk, Blues and Jazz roots to its country beginnings, R&B and Soul, through to Rock n Roll and back again. American music has a long, diverse, and storied history; rich in tradition but also heavy on exploration and improvisation. It’s also important to mention that there are many more that I would have loved to add to this list; and even as I write this now several more have popped in my head (Doc Watson, Velvet Underground, Link Wray, The Temptations, and Stevie Wonder just to name a few). So, nevertheless I invite you to listen to my interpretation; soak it in, but also I encourage you to make your own playlist and think of what american music means to you. As always, enjoy, and listen loud.
These are the truly american tracks that were played:
Robert Johnson – Cross Road Blues ++ Chuck Berry – Roll Over Beethoven ++ Otis Redding – I Can’t Turn You Loose – Sam Cooke – Another Saturday Night ++ Leon Bridges – Coming Home ++ Aretha Franklin – I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) ++ Billie Holiday and her Orchestra – Summertime ++ Preservation Hall Jazz Band & The Del McCoury Band – I’ll Fly Away ++ Lead Belly – Midnight Special ++ The Allman Brothers Band – Revival ++ Bruce Springsteen – 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) ++ Dawes – From a Window Seat ++ The Band – The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (live) ++ Woody Guthrie – Going Down The Road Feeling Bad ++ Bob Dylan – You’re No Good ++ The Byrds – You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere ++ Joe Pug – Hymn #101 ++ Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues ++ Buddy Holly – Not Fade Away ++ Grateful Dead – Ripple ++ Alabama Shakes – Gimme All Your Love ++ Father John Misty – Bored In the USA ++ The Gourds – All The Labor

Audio Vino: Shady Groove Podcast #68
Wine and song. So many similarities. So many good times. Both are better when shared with others but can also be graciously enjoyed on one’s own. Songs tend to ‘taste’ better when drinking wine and wine seems to ‘sound’ better when listening to your favorite tunes (See what I did there).
There is obviously a long and wonderful history of the interweaving of these two arts, and always being the historian, Shady Groove sought to find the best songs about wine. Many songs did not make the list. One, because its only an hour podcast, two because some of the songs are just not that good. We may have to do another Audio Vino podcast in the future, we’ll just have to wait and see. Anyway, enough rambling by me. Lets get to the music.
These were the deliciously baccanalian audio tracks that were included in this weeks’ Audio Vino Podcast:
Eric Burdon & War – Spill The Wine ++ Delbert McClinton – Two More Bottles Of Wine ++ Tom Paxton – Bottle Of Wine ++ The Band – Strawberry Wine ++ The Rolling Stones – Sweet Virginia ++ Jerry Lee Lewis – Drinkin’ Wine, Spoo-Dee-O-Dee ++ Muddy “Mississippi” Waters – Champagne & Reefer ++ The Gourds – Cracklins ++ Derek & The Dominos – Bottle Of Red Wine ++ Merle Haggard – Wine Takes Me Away ++ UB40 – Red Red Wine ++ Willie Nelson – Yesterday’s Wine ++ The Gourds – Out On The Vine ++ Lambert, Hendricks and Ross – Gimme That Wine ++ The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band – Two Bottles Of Wine ++ The Gourds – When Wine Was Cheap
