RRF Runaround Sue by Dion

This was Dion's greatest record because it featured his two most well-known songs The Wanderer and the ablums title track Runaround Sue. The rest of the songs on this album are covers of Take Good Care of my Baby written by Carol King and was most known as being a hit for Bobby Vee that same year in 1961. Other songs covered on this Album include Kansas City written by songwriting greats Leiber and Stoller. He was still is and will always be more talented then Elvis because unlike Elvis he actually co-wrote Runaround Sue his biggest hit with Ernie Maresca who also wrote The Wander and worked for many years with Dion and with

Dion and the Belmonts more Dion went solo. Dion kept writing and recordings song thought the 60's 70's 80's 90's and still records today at the age of 73 with a new album called Tank Full of Blues released January of this year. This album is by far his best work and should be listened to by all fans of 50's and 60's rock 'n' roll.

Tonight I'm heading off to the blues club to see Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials.

Yesterday I listened to some of the oldest and iconic pieces of blues music ever recorded.

The artist is Blind Blake who lived from 1896 to 1934. The recordings I heard dated back to 1926, 27, 28 and 29.  He may be dead but his music   still lives on. Above is the only known photograph of Blake taken in 1927. Very little is known about his life. His real name was Arthur Blake and he was born in either  Newport News, Virginia or Jacksonville, Florida. It is truly amazing how much of his work survived and that it is still listened  too today more then 80 years after these tracks were recorded by me and 19 year old in the year 2012. He is dubbed as The King Of Ragtime Guitar. As we all know the King of Ragtime is and will always be Scott Joplin. You are not a real blues fan until you have heard at least one or more of his recordings.

RRF Smokin' O.P.'s by Bob Seger

The random record  for last Friday was Smokin' O.P.'s which was released in 1972. I have 5 of his albums and this is my first time listening to them. I thought it was nothing special just another album with a few songs written by the artist and then covers of 50's rock musicians.  He covered Bo Diddly and Let It Rock. I will say this right now and that is that you are not a real rock band until you have covered at least one or more Chuck Berry songs. I can't really say much about Bob Seger because I have not heard much of his music other then a few songs on the local classic rock station I will have to give this one another listen.
