RRF Move It On Over- George Thorogood and the Destoryers

For random record Friday I listened to an album that was the first rock artist I listened too. I had a version of Move It On Over on CD and this was what I listened too before I got it on record which was one of the first 20 records in my collection. Even since listening to this album I have liked George Thorogood and the Destoryers. Move It On Over was Thorogood's second album and in my opinion  his best album. This album is made up of all covers by Chess artists such as Chuck Berry, Elmore James, Willie Dixon and Bo Diddley and also the albums title track Move It On Over written and preformed by Hank Williams in 1947. This was the album that opened the door for me to all of the classic blues and rock artists. After hearing this I decided to go and listen to the original tracks by the original artists.  I had  only heard the original version of Who Do You Love by Bo Diddley and Move It On Over.  Up to this point I have had never the original version of The Sky Is Crying by Elmore James. I had only heard cover versions by Thorogood, SRV and Gary Moore. It was great to listen too this classic album again.

RRF Late for the Sky- Jackson Browne

Today on random record Friday we go from a group I have barely heard(The Moody Blues) to a artist(Jackson Browne) who I have heard many times before and has become one of my favorite musicians. I will be seeing him on October 28th with Sarah Watkins. Late for the Sky is my favorite Jackson Browne album of all time and I think it is his best. It also has my favorite of his songs For a Dancer. One thing I just learned while researching the album that the it's cover was inspired by a 1954 painting by Belgian surrealist René Magritte called Empire of Light. He states on the back of the album "cover concept Jackson Browne if it's all reet with Magritte." When I was looking though the liner notes I saw names like Don Henley and JD Souther. Browne wrote The Eagles hit Take It Easy two years earlier. Great album with not one bad song on it.

R R F- To Our Children's Children's Children The Moody Blues

The record that I pulled today for Random Record Friday is To Our Children's Children's Children by English rock band The Moody Blues. This will be my first time  listening to a Moody Blues album even though I have had this album along with Every Good Boy Deserves Favor for several years. I have only heard a few of their songs on the radio but besides that I know nothing about them. One interesting fact about them is that they are all still alive and performing which is rare for groups of the 60's and 70's.


This album which was in 1969 has many references to space travel. Mnay English artists of the time were singing about space travel in their songs  like David Bowie and The Rolling Stones.  Being  some what psychedelic rock album it is of very strange sounding especially Eyes of a Child which I like because it is one of the only rock songs to feature the harp as a main instrument something I have not heard before in a rock group. The cover art is great because now days you do not see many painted covers. Their 60's and 70's albums were designed by Philip Travers   I liked the album it was very relaxing and puts you in a good mood.    

This is so amazing words cannot describe.
