Friday Music Group

Good morning my friends and fellow music lovers.
Welcome back to Friday Music, show 474 coming to you from a spot on the globe that right next-door last week they got smacked upside the head with some serious snowfall.
Mother Nature was fini with gloriously warm and kind November days.
Yeah, she kind of mean that way.
So I hope all you listeners in the Buffalo New York area have dug out and are ready for me to warm you up with some tasty tunes as we slip slide into orbit number one on Big Mama, The Mothership of Music.
Go ahead on put your hands a little closer to the fire.
Take the chill off as we listen to Jay McShane with Ain’t Nobody’s Biz’ness If I Do.

From her 1967 album Nina Simone Sings The Blues the (Expanded Addition) that was Nina Simone singing the blues on a chart titled, Blues For Mama.
From his 1998 album Natchez To New York we just give a listen to Ola Dara on a song titled, Rain Shower.
And Jay McShane warmed up our toes as we dropped into orbit today with, Ain’t Nobody’s Biz’nees If I Do.
Orbit two of the day begins with brand new music from the boss, Bruce Springsteen.
This cut has been released as a single from his brand new album titled, Covers Only The Strong Survive.
See if you can’t ruminate on who did this tune originally.
This is Nightshift.

Before the Brothers we heard The New Mastersounds featuring Lamar Williams on their chart titled, Let’s Go Back.
The California Honeydrops before Lets Go Back with, Long Way.
A seldom heard tune by Bill Withers before Long Way titled, Ruby Lee and Bruce Springsteen cruised us on into orbit number two with his cover of The Commodores Nightshift.

this is Big Walter Horton on blues harmonica with Trouble In Mind.

From the 2017 EP Due North, The amazing voice and guitar playing of the one and only Marcus King on a cut titled Slip Back.

And Big Walter Horton in the key of G on a Horners harmonica, laying down a bluesy groove written way back in 1924 by vaudevillian Richard M.

Trouble now is, we be done. At least for today.
But I can assure you that you can find us right back here next week on the Mothership of Music for another week of ear whacking Friday Music.
Promise.
I’m Tim McCormack your host for Friday Music and the man with the weekly plan is our prolific executive producer Collin McCormack and together we remind you as we remind you every week to be safe, be kind and may all your Fridays be filled with music.
Our last little ditty of the day is a piece from the album In The Night by Charley Crockett. Titled, I’m Workin’.
So until next time round the turn table my friends have yourselves a bodacious Friday and peace y’all! Collin, kick it one more time.

Good morning my friends welcome back to Friday Music show 473.
I’m feeling right good this morning because the weather for the month of November has been glorious in the Northeast and as we batten down the hatches to launch the mothership for today’s musical trek, I hope wherever you are things are glorious for you too.
We set sail this morning and drop into orbit one on the voice of Sam Cooke going back to the year 1963 to an album titled Night Beat.
This is Trouble Blues.

Before Madeleine we listened to the sweet sound of Sydney Bechet on soprano saxophone playing Mon Homme.
Or for you heathens My Man.

Good morning my friends and welcome back to this weeks edition on Friday Music.
The Mothership is spic and span and Big Mama is ready to launch so welcome aboard for show 472 which begins with a dedication to one of our newer listeners and one of my oldest friends.
He had been a great friend of mine since we started working together on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Back in the day he reminded me that I turned him onto this artist and that he instantly became a fan.
Charlie Russo my brother, Chooch, this one’s for you.

Before Backseat, Main Squeeze with Hold My Hand and a favorite son of Texas, Delbert McClinton dropped us into orbit today with a little ditty titled, B Movie Boxcar Blues.
Orbit two begins with an artist that for me gives off a vibe that she has ridden hard her whole life and has seen just a little bit too much of everything.
This is Lucinda Williams with Essence.

That pretty piece was Lily Was Here by guitarist Dave Steward featuring the great Candy Dulfer on sax.
Before Stewart and Dulfer we had Weeknd featuring Kendrick Lamar and the chart, Pray For Me.
