a new find for me, and a great inspiration as i head off on a short european tour (austria, slovakia and poland).
freakin' awesome!  She reminds me of that girl who used to play on the streets on the City, doing her Jimi thang.
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.

Man, she can sure bring it. Great voice and a rockin' guitarist to boot. I thought that first song was "What'd I Say"--which, essentially, it was. I'd guess the first clip was from the Mike Douglas show--didn't they use a lot of exclamation points in their stage sets?

And damned if she's not still alive--and playing! Per Wikipedia, she played Jazzfest in NOLa this year.

TANC!
I don't know who wrote it, Wikipedia implies it's Barbara's song, but she also did "I'm a good woman" which is one of my favorite tracks from the first Cold Blood album!

Evidentally, it's true.

I'm putting this here too (it's also in the CG etc thread) to make sure Gaz (and anyone else) checks it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZofBZFaEc&feature=related

It's Lee Mallory's  "That's the Way It's Gonna Be" -- a Phil Ochs composition (!) gone sunshiny. Amazing. Produced, I'm told, by the Association's producer, and it shows.

Wow, never heard that before. You're dead on about the Association reference--it definitely has that post-folkie Association/Seekers kind of vibe. And some nice visuals, too!

I wonder if there's still a train from Caribou, Maine?

This has to have been Ken Jennings' greatest moment on Jeopardy:

This is one of the most delightful things I've found on YouTube:

A&M Records Presents Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass 1966

PS: I don't think I ever noticed how attractive young Herb Alpert was!  Was he considered so at the time?

(ETA: "A Taste of Honey" is competing with "Love Is Blue" and "Keem-O-Sabe" for my all-time favorite instrumental.  "Embryonic Journey" and "Water Song" are not far behind.)

You've always wondered how Dusty Springfield would sound singing "We Are Family," right?  Well, here you go, in a medley in a royal performance from 1979:

Or how about "I Am Woman"?
