Sweet City Woman: The Stampeders

Calgary's The Stampeders were one of Canada's biggest bands of the early 70s. Their unique country-rock sound, featuring a memorable banjo riff, propelled their song 'Sweet City Woman' to the top of the charts in Canada and made it a major international hit. The song won them a Juno Award for Best Single in 1972 and remains a classic rock radio staple. #Canada #TheStampeders #ClassicRock #70sMusic 🇨🇦

Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

October '78 in the USA. It arrived at the height of punk and disco but it broke through heartily with its stripped-back rock sound and Mark Knopfler's signature fingerpicking style.

STEVE MARTIN AND THE TOOT UNCOMMONS
King Tut
1978 Canada 7” single

A little whimsy and nostalgia to end my night before bed.

I remember watching an old re-run of SNL as a kid where Steve Martin was dressed in pharaoh garb performing this ridiculous song. I remember saying “What the hell was THAT?!?!”

The “uncommons” are actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and that SNL performance was where this was born; a completely ridiculous novelty song written about the Treasures Of Tutankhamun travelling exhibit that toured through American cities for three years (1976-1979).

Steve Martin is a fucking genius.

BOBBY CHARLES
Bobby Charles
1972 U.S. pressing

A near perfect record for last spin of the night.

When I found this for $1 in a Salvation Army a few years ago, it felt like a daring heist.
Only… it couldn’t have been easier.
I paid a dollar, and walked right out the front door with it.

Forget “See You Later Alligator”.
Put that shit aside, and immerse your self in one of the great masterpieces from ANY singer/songwriter.
Just amazing songs.
Listen to “I Must Be In A Good Place Now” and tell me this dude ain’t a genius.

If you don’t know the first Bobby Charles record, do yourself a favor and make it part of your life.
The hope is that this post drives ONE new person to it.
If I can get ONE… then mission accomplished.
