Tommy James & The Shondells- “Crystal Blue Persuasion”
This week the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick is Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells. Released as a single in June 1969, it became one of the group’s biggest hits. This live performance of this really cool song took place in 1996…enjoy…DJPJ
We haven’t touched on any Bluegrass on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick. I don’t listen to a lot of Bluegrass but when I do it’s usually American singer-songwriter Gillian Welch and her musical partner David Rawlings. Their song tonight is Caleb Meyer…enjoy…DJPJ.
John Lee Hooker- “Boom! Boom!”
Tonight it’s the Blues on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick with my all-time favorite Blues guy…John Lee Hooker. The song is Boom!Boom! and the clip is from a gig he did on the BBC in the early sixties!…enjoy…DJPJ.
Eagles- “Best of My Love”
I was looking over the list of musicians that have been featured on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick for those I’ve missed and found one group…the Eagles. So without further ado, the Eagles performing Best of My Love…Enjoy…DJPJ.
Arlo Guthrie- “The Motorcycle Song”
This week the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick, The Motorcycle Song, has some significance for me other than it being one of my favorite Arlo Guthrie songs. Sold my old motorcycle over the past two weeks and bought a newer one. Not bad for a guy on the east side of 65. Anyway, tonight we’re on the road with Arlo Guthrie and The Motorcycle Song. That sound at the end is me heading for the open road…enjoy…DJPJ
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Cold Shot
It’s been a while since I’ve had a SRV fix so tonight on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick it’s the incredible Stevie Ray Vaughan performing Cold Shot. This is also for a friend of mine out in Oregon. Like me, he really loves the guitar and no one does it like SRV…enjoy…DJPJ.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers- “Runnin’ Down A Dream”
Last week on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick it was all about mellow. This week we’re going to kick it up a notch. The group is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the song is their hit song Runnin’ Down A Dream…enjoy…DJPJ.
Stevie Wonder and Sting- “Higher Ground & Roxanne”
It’s a twofer/twofer night for the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music pick. The first twofer is two great artists on stage….Sting and Stevie Wonder. The second twofer is that they are performing two great songs…Wonder’s Higher Ground and Sting’s Roxanne. So it’s a double dose of talent and a double dose of songs…enjoy…DJPJ
