Here’s one to the memory of the American guitarist, singer and songwriter Norman Russell Young, best known as Rusty Young (1946-2021), who was born 80 years ago today. In 1969 he co-founded Poco, by many considered to be the first country rock band. To celebrate his memory I’ve picked Rose of Cimarron, one of Poco’s best known songs.
Although Rusty Young wrote Rose of Cimarron, and was one of the singers in Poco, for some reason he doesn’t sing on this song. It’s him on the acoustic guitar in the background. This clip is taken from a Dutch TV-show from 1976. Here’s to Rusty Young’s memory

Happy Birthday to guitarist Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, who is turning 73 today! Although Brad has spent his time in this band in the shadow of the more flamboyant extravaganza of the other guitarist Joe Perry and singer Steven Tyler (The Toxic Twins), he does get to play the solos now and then, like on the song posted here.

It is due time to pay tribute to the memory of the great English keyboard player Nicky Hopkins (1944-1994), who was born 82 years ago today. He’s yet another of these musicians who I can guarantee you’ve heard, even though you’ve never heard his name before. Although he was a member of bands like the Jeff Beck Group, Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Jerry Garcia Band, he is best known as a session musician.
Nicky Hopkins appeared on all the Rolling Stones albums from Their Satanic Majesties Request until Tattoo You (except Some Girls). He played on the four albums The Kinks released between 1965 and 1968. He also recorded with The Who, on the band’s debut, on Who’s Next and The Who By Numbers.
In addition Nicky Hopkins has played on recordings by The Beatles (including solo albums by all four members of The Fab Four), Jefferson Airplane, The Hollies, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker and Donovan, just to mention a few. So this is a man who truly deserves to be remembered for his contributions to rock music. Here’s a few tracks with Nicky Hopkins on piano. And here’s a toast to his memory

I came to a cover today (once again, a result of a preference for female voices in singing).
The search for the song (original) did not get a result here and i thought…how can that be. Just by look at every result for the band i’ve seen, it’s here, posted without songname.
Ok…anyway here is a cover version.
Benedetta Caretta - Nothing Else Matters (Metallica)

When this topic opened four years ago we usually did not post the name of the band and title of the song. Then at one point a former forum member made a list of every song, with artist, posted up until then. When he posted the list, he asked everyone to start putting this information in their posts. That’s when we started doing this.
Unfortunately, when this forum member “retired”, he had all his posts removed from the forum. So this list doesn’t exist anymore. Then there’s people who forget to put band/song information in their posts. So we don’t find every song thats’s been posted here. We’ll just have to make the best of it.
It’s perhaps best to not post a song postet last week or month. Still, as I said recently, I don’t see a problem with a song posted once again if it was posted two or three years ago, or ten months ago for that matter. It’s the best song you’ve heard today. Nothing else matters!

How ugly people can be when they think they’re better than others…
It’s not a specific song, but it’s definitely worth watching - and listening to.

Appie Alberts, Groningen’s “Doctor of Rock ‘n” Roll’, has passed away in his hometown of Amsterdam. He was the frontman of AA & The Doctors and a doctor of chemistry.
He had spoken to guitarist Klaas Post on the phone last week and, according to his old bandmate, was in good spirits. ‘He was still saying ‘on to 80’, so it’s a real shock. We went through everything together for 47 years. We knew his heart was bad and the end was near, but when it actually happens, it’s still sad.’
Dual talent in chemistry and rock “n” roll
With the death of Albert Hendrikus Alberts, born in Emmen, the northern Netherlands has lost one of its most distinctive rockers. He was a dual talent: a doctor of organic chemistry and saxophonist and frontman of AA & The Doctors.
In the early 1980s, the band released the album Wash mah brain, which remains a benchmark in Groningen rock history. The song Words are made to lie even served as the unofficial anthem of East Groningen in the 1980s, particularly because of the phrase “Alle Männer sind Verbrecher/Und ihr Herz is ein schwarzes Loch” (All men are criminals/And their hearts are black holes).
Cold fusion and Dutch Diamond
He was an original thinker, switching between rock “n” roll and chemistry. People who worked with him described him as a “quick thinker who makes connections where there are none”.
Alberts believed fervently in cold fusion, was convinced he could create diamonds, Dutch Diamond, and explained in his book How to fool Fritz how to beat a chess computer.
‘A genius or a total loss’
Although talented, he failed to achieve national or international fame in either field and, in his own words, hovered between “a genius or a total loss”.
He ended up in music via the Groningen music corps Door het Volk Voor het Volk, chose the saxophone and went on to study chemistry at the University of Groningen. Prof. Dr Hans Wijnberg allowed him to obtain his doctorate in two years.
Donald Cram and Jean Marie Lehn
After obtaining his doctorate, he worked in Los Angeles as a postdoc with the later Nobel Prize winner Donald Cram and then in Strasbourg with Jean Marie Lehn, who also went on to win the Nobel Prize.
Music continued to appeal to him, so he said goodbye to chemistry. He played with Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, wrote the song Blew My Cool Over You for him and founded AA & The Doctors in 1979. The band rode the waves of the Groninger Springtij, the heyday of the Groningen band circuit. But in 1989, Alberts returned to chemistry at the Technical University in Eindhoven, where he and Edith van Oosterwijk had two children: Abel and Max, both named after famous scientists.
Floozy Man, the last album
The Doctors, who had as many line-ups as there are colours in the rainbow, made three more records at very long intervals: The Doctor Is In in 1993, Get Well in 2004 and, in 2016, Floozy Man, their last album.
Alberts stopped performing in 2020 for health reasons. Since then, he has lived a secluded life in Amsterdam and would have turned 80 on 20 September this year. His life can be summed up in a quote from the German essayist Hans Kudszus: 'Those who have a roof over their heads no longer see the sky.
