Puppy - Entombed


London-based trio PUPPY passed by in haste a few months ago, once again they swashed by, but this time i got them by the tale and gave them a chance for a swing.




"Vol. II" is a five-tune EP, full of heavy and fuzzy guitar riffs that flows around in the delightful alternative 90's rock and pop. Like today's tune "Entombed" where we get a little touch of GHOST vibes in the vocal parts. Another tunes like "My Tree" flirts with ALICE IN CHAINS and "Arabella" where the intro sounds like D.A.D. and continues with something else, a really nice piece of music.

The guys are out touring atm, check the dates below.

Tedeschi Trucks Band - Live From the Fox Oakland


Monday, New Week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

"Live From the Fox Oakland" captures the TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND firing on all cylinders at their Sept 9, 2016 show that fans and band members regard as one of their finest performances to date. "Live From the Fox Oakland" is a fantastic live album, clearly one of the best released in later period of the 21st century. The sound is amazing, you can hear every note that is played, I am totally stunned of the performance, what a joy and presence. The group, led by husband-and-wife duo Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks and the 12-person band, a real travelling circus.




"Live From the Fox Oakland" is an delicious table of Southern snacks, warm, soulful and groovy natural rhythm. It's bluesy with a rootsy feels, splotches of brass, explosive slide guitar and soulful backing vocals. Six of its fifteen tracks originate from last year’s "Let Me Get By". There are many highlights on the album, take for instance "Crying Over You" a groovy tune with Derek on the lead, the jam part is stunning with the organ and the horn section. A cool and really rugged version of Bobby Blands tune "I Pity the Fool". There are a few more classics that gets it's treat, like the nearly 11-minute cover of DEREK AND THE DOMINOS "Keep on Growing", Leonard Cohen’s "Bird on a Wire" done by Susan's soulful vocals, the obscure jazzy tune "Ali".


The 15 tunes are split on 3 disc Vinyl version, was mastered separately and specifically for vinyl to ensure true Vinyl sound and pressed on 180 gram discs for highest sound quality. The double CD (also available with DVD or Blu-ray video) puts you in the middle of the music, making this the perfect way to absorb the impact of THE TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND firing on all cylinders in their natural habitat.

THE TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND is a blues rock group based in Jacksonville, Florida, US. Formed in 2010, the band is led by Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. Their debut album, Revelator (2011), won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Blues Album. The band has released three studio and two live albums. 



Live from the Fox Oakland album track list:

1. "Don't Know What It Means"
2. "Keep On Growing"
3. "Bird On the Wire"
4. "Within You, Without You"
5. "Just As Strange"
6. "Crying Over You"
7. "These Walls (featuring Alam Khan)"
8. "Anyhow"
9. "Right On Time"
10. "Leavin' Trunk"
11. "Don't Drift Away"
12. "I Want More (Soul Sacrifice outro)"
13. "I Pity the Fool"
14. "Ali"
15. "Let Me Get By"

Sum: "Live From The Fox Oakland" is a new peak of a great American blues rock, a record that should not be missed.

Today's tune "Keep On Growing" taken from their live release "Live From The Fox Oakland."

Joe Cocker - Cry Me A River


Sunday, time for a classic.

"Cry Me a River" is a popular American torch song, written by Arthur Hamilton, first published in 1953 and made famous in 1955 with the version by Julie London.

An upbeat rock cover version was made by Joe Cocker 1970.




Mad Dogs & Englishmen is a live album by Joe Cocker, released in 1970. The album's title is drawn from the 1931 Noël Coward song of the same name. Only four songs of the 16 on the original album were drawn from his first two studio albums. Besides the contributions of bandmate and musical director Leon Russell, it draws equally from rock (the Rolling Stones, Traffic, Bob Dylan, the Beatles) and soul (Ray Charles, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding). Accompanying Cocker is a choir, a three-piece horn section and several drummers.

The single "The Letter"/"Space Captain", recorded during rehearsals was released to coincide with the tour. The album yielded the single "Cry Me a River"/"Give Peace a Chance." "Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen"/"Let It Be" was a non-album single from the movie soundtrack that featured Leon Russell and Claudia Lennear.

In 2005, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was released as a two-disc deluxe edition set through Universal Records to commemorate the album's 35th anniversary.

In 2006, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was released as a six-disc box set under the title The Complete Fillmore East Concerts by Hip-O Select. Both early and late shows from March 27 and 28, 1970, were released in their entirety.



John Robert Joseph "Joe" Cocker, OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014) was an English singer and musician. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance and definitive versions of popular songs.

Today's tune "Cry Me a River" taken from "Mad Dogs & Englishmen", the video clip was filmed at the Metropol in Berlin on October 31, 1970




On 11 September 2015 a "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" tribute concert to Joe Cocker was performed at the Lockn' Festival featuring THE TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND, Chris Stainton, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, Pamela Polland, Doyle Bramhall II, Dave Mason, John Bell, Warren Haynes and Chris Robinson, amongst others. In commemoration, a Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen Memory Book was created by Linda Wolf to celebrate the event.

A DIY 6-track EP was released in 2004 and they started touring throughout Sweden and made themselves a reputation of being one of Sweden?s best live acts. THE BABOON SHOW signed to the Swedish indie label National and they released their three first albums within one year and seven months! They were played frequently in national radio and television.

Except for Sweden, they have also played in Norway, Finland, Greece, Denmark, Czech Republic, France, Germany, China and Cuba. In Cuba they became so popular that they have been playing there three years in a row! Things really started moving with their fourth and fifth album ”Punk Rock Harbour” and ”People?s Republic of The Baboon Show formerly known as Sweden”, produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt who has also worked with The Hives and Randy.

They were nominated for several awards in Sweden. Both albums were also released by German label Kidnap Music and the band started touring more often, especially in Germany where the fan base grew bigger and bigger for every time. According to some magazines The Baboon Show is the next big thing! Last year they released their seventh studio album "The World Is Bigger Than You".
