King Hobo - King Blues

KING HOBO is a rock band from Sweden, formed in 2005. Jean-Paul Gaster from CLUTCH met OPETH keyboardist Per Wiberg at the Sounds of the Underground Tour. They jammed together, and allowed other musicians to join them, with the motto of "get funky or get out". Later, they gathered at a home Wiberg rented in Sweden, and invited KAMCHATKA guitarist Thomas Andersson and Ulf Rockis Ivarsson, among others, to record an album in one week, witch resulted of the release of the self-titled album "King Hobo" (2008). After busy times with their regular bands KING HOBO was left on the bookshelf for some time until it was time to shake off the dust and record the second album "Mauga" (2019). The band is called "a triumph of musicianship drawing on all the talent at the group's disposal.

"Mauga" was release on May 31st via the CLUTCHs record label, Weathermaker Music.

Today's tune "King Blues" is taken from the latest release "Mauga", the clip is filmed live when KING HOBO playing at Sticky Fingers, Gothenburg. (February 9, 2013). Enjoy!

The Order Of Israfel - Swords To The Sky

"Red Robes" is the upcoming follow up album after the success debut "Wisdom" form 2014. "Red Robes" is set to release on May 27th. A release party is set to be at Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg on the release date.

Judges and cardinals don red robes. Edgar Allen Poe enshrouded death in deepest red. And now doom metal itself proudly wears the most sinful color of them all when Swedes THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL unleash their second longplayer Red Robes! The band`s first steps might have been heavily influenced by genre icons such as CATHEDRAL, PENTAGRAM and WITCHCRAFT, but the fourpiece has firmly established its very own brand of slow-motion goodness in 2016: folk and the NWOBHM play a big role in THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL cosmos, but these guys also have a knack for THIN LIZZY-isms. The result is a wondrous, mystical piece of art featuring unforgettable vocals and ten-ton riffing that will haunt you for aeons!

Marianne Faithfull - Sister Morphine

Sunday, time for a classic tune!

"Sister Morphine" is a song written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Marianne Faithfull. Faithfull released a version of the song as the b-side to her 1969 single "Something Better" on Decca Records, 21 February 1969. Although sung live to a backing track by Faithfull at The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, that film was never televised and "Something Better" did not hit the UK chart, an estimated 500 copies only being issued by Decca. A different version was released two years later by The Rolling Stones as a track on their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. It was originally credited solely to Jagger and Richards, but after a legal battle Faithfull retained her rights as a co-author, acknowledged by the 1994 Virgin Records reissue of the Stones' album catalogue from Sticky Fingers through Steel Wheels.

The personnel for the Faithfull version is herself on vocals, Jagger on acoustic guitar, Ry Cooder on slide guitar and bass, Jack Nitzsche on piano and organ, and Charlie Watts on drums. The Stones' version has Jagger on vocals, Richards on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, Cooder and Nitzche again on slide guitar and piano respectively, Bill Wyman on bass, and Watts again on drums.

Faithfull recorded the song again in 1979, during the sessions for her Broken English album; this version was subsequently released on a 12" single, and appears as a bonus track on the second disc of the 2013 deluxe edition of the album.

A chapter of the 1978 book Babel by Patti Smith is entitled "Sister Morphine" and the song is referenced in the 1982 novel The Transmigration of Timothy Archer by Philip K. Dick.

Today's tune is Marianne Faithfull's "Sister Morphine" from 1989 live album "Blazing Away".

Not that I "Stones" has been thinking of put an end of this concept and just write a little every now and then when I feel like it and not be tie up myself to any pre-created rules, you to be a little rebel, but.. . here we are now.

What about the future for Tune Of The Day is a bit uncertain, I simply have too many irons in the fire as the Swedish spoken language says. Do you have any suggestions? We receive them more than happy.

For five years I have been writing this blog.

For five years I have learned from other blogs about music.

For five years I have discovered new friends.

For five years I have shared all that I know, good or bad, for anyone to read and hopefully learn something.

For five years I have met some of the greatest people I know.

Thanks.
