Is that a surprise? Seriously?

Tunes for a Tuesday – 6 March 2012 – Join the band

Severally:
The title of a track on “Waiting for Columbus” by Little Feat [Listen]
The title of a collaborative 2008 Feat album

This week:
A selection of tracks from the latter with logical (for me, anyway..) connections, tangential and otherwise.

Fat Man In The Bathtub (Feat. Dave Matthews And Sonny Landreth) – Little Feat – Join The Band [Listen]
which links to
You And Me – Dave Matthews Band – Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King [Listen]

Willin’ (Feat. Brooks And Dunn) – Little Feat – Join The Band [Listen]
which links to the ever-lovely Linda Ronstadt

and onto a technically very dodgy (but exquisite) bootleg from 1995, featuring Wilco, Blues Traveller and the Black Crowes
which links to

Oh Atlanta (Feat. Chris Robinson) – Little Feat – Join The Band [Listen]
which links to (Chris Robinson? Lead singer in the Black Crowes?)
Jealous Again – The Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker [Listen]
and

Sailing Shoes (Feat. Emmylou Harris) – Little Feat – Join The Band [Listen]
which links to
You Can Close Your Eyes – Desert Rose Band with Emmylou Harris – Bluegrass Festival [Listen]
and
You Can Close Your Eyes – Sheryl Crow [Listen]
and
You Can Close Your Eyes – Linda Ronstadt [Listen]

Trouble (Feat. Inara George And Sonny Landreth) – Little Feat – Join The Band [Listen]
which links to

and
A Stone’s Throw Away – Valerie Carter – Just a Stone’s Throw Away [Listen]
(because Valerie Carter gives Inara a verse mid-song.

Lovely stuff, if I do say so myself….

One of the good things about Mapua….

..is Portrait Mapua, a year-long project a la Daily Photo run by photographer/graphic designer couple Neil and Jane Smith of Chocolate Dog.

We stumbled over each other via mutual friends and met a few times, twice intentionally and once by chance.

Good fun to be with, even if Ms Smith does come up with true stories (see above) that rival the best of mine….
