That Tom Rush is his version of a phenomenal song by Joni Mitchell.
I probably heard his version before hers.
Tune of the Day
Bil Lloyd - Back to Even Great power pop. Clever word play. The opening track: Thanks to Pokey77 for turning me on to Bill and Lyric Genius for the words.... "My life hit the curb knocked my wheels out of whack From a Dom Perignon to a brown paper sack Chorus... Wth only LOVE to hold me up there."
(Back to even and truly thanking God for that.)

Very cool @ghosthouse on the Tom Rush. Similar to the folk of Fred Neil to my ear. Thanks! |

Nice to have a dialog with someone about the music. I will follow up on your Jessie Sykes recommendations. Found the first Third Mind album on Tidal and listened to a good bit of it late last night into early this morning. Will return to it. I am usually not big on covers but what a selection Dave Alvin chose there. Great songs and they've definitely brought something fresh to them taking a page from Miles' book. ALSO, "Dolphins" led me to Fred Neil and that opened up a whole new area. So more thanks for that. Yup...the original "Sally Go 'Round the Roses" goes back to '63. Had a Japanese made transistor radio glued to my ear in those days listening to 77 WABC out of NYC playing all the hits. I remember that song very well. |
It’s good to hear from a fellow Big Head Todd fan @ghosthouse. Their music still seems fresh to me. Haven’t checked into any of their output in a couple decades. Jesse Sykes is absolutely wonderful. I have a couple of albums by Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter. Check out "Like, Love and Lust and the Open Halls of the Soul" & "Marble Son". Her contribution to The Third Mind is brilliant. I’ve been a Dave Alvin fan forever and think he’s a wonderful guitarist. When I first read about TTM’s first album, I knew I was gonna get it. Have their second (live) disc on preorder. I’ll be a completest for sure. Never occurred to me to check out the origin of Sally Go Round The Roses, so thanks for making me aware. I can here some similarities in the was the music’ pace varies. So far the album is my favorite of 2025.

Greetings again. At one time, thought I was the only one knowing Big Head Todd. Haven’t followed them much lately but back in the ’90s...Another Mayberry, Midnight Radio, Sister Sweetly, Stratagem, Beautiful World...spent a lot of time with those. Thanks now for Third Mind. Knew Jessie Sykes a little but otherwise no clue. Checking them out. Sally Go Round the Roses. Think they have enough guitars in that band? ;-). Great tone though. Way different than the original...
