Johnny Cash and Lulu, "Games People Play"

that was...awkward.

"Yer cute!"  Ah but this Ronstadt clip kicks butt -- she's the only mama that'll walk the line in hoop earrings.

I think this just happened 2 weeks ago in Disney World Orlando.

There was a similar thing last year, but it wasn't as good:

I wasn't aware of this until I read the piece about them in this week's EW, but Sugarland apparently have a hit with a countrified cover of (of all things) "Life in a Northern Town":

"This is a rare clip of the Jacksons performing Blame it on the Boogie from a very rare and hard to find (complete) ABBA TV special. Filmed in Switzerland, it shows the Jacksons performing with some of the most nonresponsive children on the planet, I guess the boogie didn't get them. On a quick note, it is amazing the the single didn't go gold despite its huge popularity."

The J5, "Blame It on the Boogie"

Well, impressive for a country act to visibly give a shit about northern towns, and the shared vocals were all impressive, but I bemoan the absence of that tympani.  And I'm still pissed at Sugarland for kicking out the thick gal.

Now this is a curiosity: Tim Curry giving "Baby Love" the ballad treatment, circa 1976; the poster sez produced by Lou Adler.

Wow! Thanks for that -- a real find. *Very* mid-'70s production, and the "mellow" cover of an uptempo song (Rita Coolidge's "Higher & Higher", JT's "Handy Man") was a staple of the era..  His covers are a treat -- Dylan, Joni, he always does something interesting with other folks' material.

As a (mostly) left-hander, I'm always pleased to see lefty guitarists.  Do I lose cred points if I thought on the first notes that she was covering the Doors' "Break on Through"?

Trivia I know about her via Dave Marsh: she's from the same Texas town, Port Arthur, as Janis Joplin.
