Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert

Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Neil Young, John Mellancamp, George Harrison, Johnny Winter, Ron Wood, Richie Havens, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and more, including Dylan himself on this album. I am not much of a compilations album buyer but this one is at the top of my list.

All-Time Great Album One More From The Road

Lynyrd Skynyrd One More From The Road

This is one of the great live albums of all time and right now you can download it at amazon.com for $14.99. If you were to only own one Skynyrd record this is the one to have. It is indeed one of the best live albums of all time in my humble opinion. This is the only live album of the band in their prime, pre-plane crash.

The Zoo!

The below is one of my favorite Scorpion tracks. If you enjoy Michael Schenker on guitar I highly recommend Strangers in the Night live by UFO. As for as the Scorpions go it is hard to pick a best album though Lovedrive is quite an accomplishment. You might also be surprised at their newest release called Humanity Hour 1. As for live albums the 19 song World Wide Live (Remastered) is quite a good deal on Itunes for $9.99.

Neil Young and The Boss Rock the Free World

This a sweet video. I am late comer to Neil Young Music but have really enjoyed his greatest hits CD which just came out not long ago. He and Dylan and Larry Norman are fantastic poets of Rock and Roll. Here are the lyrics to keep on rockin in the free world:

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Government Mule Bad Little Doggie

What a cool Riff on this song. Warren Haynes heads up this band. You may know him from stints with the Allman Brothers band, etc. Gov'T Mule is a superb band so let me give you some recommendations for getting their music:

1. The Deepest End (Live)
2. The Warren Haynes Benefit Concert Vols 1 and 2. This is a mixture of various bands and great stuff indeed. All sales of these albums goes to Habitat For Humanity. These concerts were recorded at the 12th Christmas Jam in Asheville, NC. The music on this thing is smokin' with artists such as Derek Trucks Band, The Allman Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, Edwin McCain, The Bottle Rockets, etc-- all southern rock/blues stuff.
3. Live With a Little Help From My Friends: They are excellent Live!

Buddy Guy: Skin Deep (Two Videos)

If your a Buddy Guy fan (now in his 70's)and don't have a copy of Skin Deep what are you waiting for? This is one of the best blues albums since Albert King and Stevie Ray put out In Session. This album features guests Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Quinn Sullivan and Robert Randolph,

The lyrics for the song Whose Gonna Fill Those Shoes are Below:

(Somebody got to help me ……)
Tell me who….. who’s gonna fill their shoes…… (know what I’m talking about)
Tell me who…..who’s gonna fill their shoes
They’re the ones who made the blues
Who’s gonna fill their shoes…. (That’s what I need help about)

Down in the delta….Old sun house
Hard luck and trouble what he was singing about
Robert Johnson heard it …made it his own
He got it started …Now we got to carry on

Tell me who…..who’s gonna fill their shoes
They’re the ones who made the blues
Who’s gonna fill those big shoes

Check out this cool live show recording (10 mins)of Whose Gonna Fill Those Shoes with Linday Ell in Canada.
