Stuck In My Ear: Robbie Robertson “Showdown At Big Sky”
Not really a huge fan of The Band. They always seemed so pretentious, and as far as their politics, well, Canada, you know, eh? However, Robbie Robertson solo from The Band, is a different performer. This song in particular sticks in my head. Lavishly produced, and as high quality as anything that Robertson has done. ...

Ray Davies we need you!
Another song that popped into my head and won’t go away. The Kinks! With the Wurlitzer and all old timey-sounding, it certainly never sounded like the Kinks as we knew them, but still a lovely little song. The video features the Über Acting! of Ray Davies. We could use a few more performers like him ...
