Big Sandy & The Fly Rite Boys	Chalk It Up To The Blues   → "Chalk It Up To The Blues" by "Big Sandy & The Fly...					Seeing this band live recently (in Reno) gave me a new respect for them. First- it's just refreshing to see a band where the drummer (and the beat) do not dominate the sound. Second - the guy is a good singer. Third - the songs are original and the lyrics are more complex then I thought...
Ronald Mesquita	Blance Pema   → "Blance Pema" by "Ronald Mesquita"
Ernest Tubb	Thirty Days   → "Thirty Days" by "Ernest Tubb"					Nice to hear a Chuck Berry song not sound like a Chuck Berry song.
Beats (?)	I'll Have To Find Another Girl   → "I'll Have To Find Another Girl" by "Beats (?)"					Always loved this song from "The Merseyside Sound" LP on the "Stereo Spectrum Records" label. The copyright says 1962 - but there are covers of Beatle songs from 1963 & '64. It says on the label: "In Authentiphonic Stereo Process" - I believe it! Photo of the LP here!

The Crickets	I'm Not A Bad Guy   → "I'm Not A Bad Guy" by "The Crickets"					When Buddy Holly died this band lost their identity. Their search for a new one is documented on the 30 track best of The Liberty Years, where you can hear them trying out different forms of rock & roll, from Texas Rock to Stones inspired rock to the poppyest pop. It's interesting. Jerry Alison is a really under-rated drummer.

Ben Lee	Away With The Pixies   → "Away With The Pixies" by "Ben Lee"					WFMU's Gaylord Fields said that this lp (Grandpa Would) was the best album by someone born in the 1980's, I thought that was a smart comment.
