Various "Some Gravy For Ya - Vol. 1" (REPOST)

Various - "Some Gravy For Ya - Vol 1" (live on CBC Radio Q show)

This is the premier issue of this series (ha ha ha) and features 3 tracks each from Adele, Skydiggers, Joel Plaskett, The Arkells, and Serena Ryder. These performances are all done live on the fabulous CBC Radio Q show (so I may hear from them....although I doubt it). If you're not familiar with this show - do yourself a favour and check it out sometime! They talk to guests from all over the world in all arts (film, books, music, theatre, etc) during the week. On Friday they usually have an artist play live in the studio, in a primarily acoustic format. Personally I dig some of the versions here a lot more than the studio versions. I started collecting the podcasts last year, and snag it whenever I hear someone of interest. Look for Vol. II someday soon (if I don't hear from Big Brother at CBC before then!?)........

P.S. If you don't know the "gravy" reference, Google "Billy Bob Thornton" on CBC radio......what a jackass!

Enjoy!

Elvis Presley "Christmas Sessions" (REPOST)

Tracks are as follows:

1) Home On Christmas Day

2) Holly Leaves

3) Silver Bells

4) Winter Wonderland

5) Listen To The Bells

6) Merry Christmas Baby

7) Johnny B. Goode, etc

8) Don' Think Twice, It's Alright

Ok, so Elvis fans will flame me big time for this.....but they've likely got every single song he ever did anyway. Sorry I have NO INFO about when/where these were done. I snagged this last year from an EP Newsgroup, burned the CD, leant it to a friend. Many months later (after his back surgery), he says he can't find original, but has made a copy of it. I get copy back, but of course, all tags on MP3's are lost.

Anyhow.....some of these are just same old Christmas tracks u'v likely heard before. But there are a few that show the "real" Elvis. that is the man in control, a real rockin' true-to-life musician, not the candy ass actor/Vegas lounge singer he became (or should I say the Colonel forced him into becoming!?). Check out track 6 Merry Christmas Baby if you need proof. Needless to say, that one wasn't recorded during the day with the RCA brass breathing down his neck. You can be sure it was a late night session, quite possibly after a few beverages, etc. I'd love to find more of this gritty blues type stuff! I'm positive it exists, and sure I'll stumble across someday......
