2 July 2010: it's an all-American Fourth of July
« on: July 01, 2010, 08:43:00 PM »
or so says AL on FB.  43 comments so far, lots of requests for her to choose from, and I was #43 and yet I was the first to mention Sharon Jones &  the Dap-Kings fab version of "This Land Is Your Land".  Woulda said X's "4th of July" but sundaygal beat me to the punch.  Either one would be swell; if we get both it'll be amazing.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Love, love 4th of July by X - even though it seemed like an obvious choice.  
Good call too with your request - We need some Woody Guthrie goin' on in the mix tomorrow.

AL gets kudos for playing the Chuck version rather than the Linda version.

"American Music" is NTM.

indeed, much as I love Ms Ronstadt, the orig is still the best. It's just Chuck & Little Richard still alive from the "Founding Fathers".

Let's don't forget James Brown!

My request  ;D

I wonder if this a Don Was production.  Sounds a lot like Was (Not Was).

Yup, and so do the Pointer Sisters.

Great segue from JCM ("let's don't forget James Brown") to the man himself.  UH!

Jerry Lee is dead to me -- he's murdered too many wives (no wonder he's "The Killer"!)
