I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you’re not really here, it’s just the radio”#DelaneyandBonnieandFriends #LeonRussell #Cher #RitaCoolidge #BobbyWhitlock

On this day in 1959, Johnny Horton hit #1 with this retelling of ’The Battle of New Orleans’.
“In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans”#JohnnyHorton #JimmyDriftwood #LonnieDonegan #JohnnyCash #LeonRussell

Joe Cocker, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, 1970 on A&M
Technically the soundtrack to the live movie of the same name, a sprawling live set with a tremendous band including (led by?) Leon Russell, across rock, soul and R&B. If you can only have one Joe Cocker album this probably ought to be it.
Great renditions of “Cry Me A River,” “Bird on a Wire,” “Feelin’ Alright,” and “Delta Lady.”
