John Simkin Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I thought it might be a good idea for us to share information on videos we like. YouTube is especially good for this. One of my favourite singers is Lou Rawls. Take a look at this selection of videos. Lou Rawls Stormy Monday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVC4XBSWko Dead End City http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEYHeFSIsDM Love is a Hurting Thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIYXb7mq27I You’ll Never Find http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...ther-l?from=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Mark Romanek was so deeply affected by Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's "Hurt", he offered (and begged) to shoot the video for free. Upon doing so, he sent the video to Trent Reznor. Reznor was in session with Zach de la Rocha (of Rage Against the Machine fame) at the time, and they were reportedly so awestruck emotionally that they had to leave the room and recuperate, Reznor himself being moved to tears. The video itself features footage of a decrepit Cash at the flood-ravaged House of Cash Museum interspersed with footage from Cash's personal collection of himself in his youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Greer Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I hadn't heard of Andy McKee until a week ago, stumbled upon him in Youtube. A hugely gifted guitarist and musician. Cover of Toto's Africa - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt1fB62cGbo Into the Ocean (played on harp guitar) - Drifting - Rylynn - As a "guitar player" myself (and I use the term loosely), I'd give my right arm to be able to play like this. Which would defeat the purpose somewhat of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) How about some classic Aussie rock? 'Khe Sanh' by Cold Chisel. I saw these guys many times over the years and their shows were an event to be sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH07B90NFjE James Edited April 2, 2007 by James Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Geraghty Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Country Joe McDonald at Woodstock singing 'I feel like', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5btZWbViPA I'm trying to find some Phil Ochs videos. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover as well. Interestingly this was the video I thought of posting a link too when I saw John's link to this thread. Cash recorded a lot of excellent material in his last years. I nearly cried when I heard he had died, likewise when I heard about June a few months earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Drago Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Enter "Phil Woods," and be amazed. Especially relevant to this site: Seek Woods' 1968 B&W performance of "And When We Were Young," his tribute to the just-assassinated RFK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8udjNCTJBg Also contemporary Woods with strings: Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Here is the most wonderful Patty Griffin doing 'Heavenly Day' live on Letterman. She is a brilliant singer/songwriter and if you can hunt out her Martin Luther King inspired 'Up To The Mountain', then you are in for a rare treat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7wga28SH2s James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Simkin Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Do you know about Clifford T. Ward? I think he was a very talented songwriter. Unfortunately, he suffered from multiple sclerosis and died in 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_T._Ward Here are some of his best songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kolSRJVxMRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) Clifford T. Ward was indeed a very talented singer/songwriter. I loved his song 'Gaye' from the early 70's. It was covered many times but the simplicity with how Ward performed this track was quite stunning. If you haven't heard it, may I suggest making the effort to track it down.

One of my favorite pure vocalists is Sarah Brightman. I not sure how popular she is in the United States but Ms. Brightman has quite the following here in Australia and of course in Great Britain. Here is a performance of 'Deliver Me'. Quite something indeed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuECcqgwrvo James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
