Iving Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 In The Mood - The Hawk aka Jerry Lee Lewis (1960) In Vancouver, Lewis wasn’t heard on the local charts until a brief appearance with a tune called “Old Black Joe” which spent only two weeks on the CKWX chart in April 1960 peaking at #39. Nonetheless, later that year Jerry Lee Lewis had a Top Ten instrumental hit under a pseudonym, The Hawk. The tune was “In The Mood”. The song went to #10 in Vancouver in July 1960, and elsewhere only had a significant chart run in on WITH in Baltimore, peaking at #11. “In The Mood” is credited with being composed by African-American jazz saxophonist, Joe Garland. He drew his inspiration from a pre-existing melody titled “Tar Paper Stomp” by bandleader, Wingy Malone. Garland’s “In The Mood” became a #1 hit for Glenn Miller in 1940, with lyrics added by Andy Razaf. The bands Joe Garland played for included Lucky Millender, Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines. Garland wrote a number of songs for Artie Shaw and for Les Brown. Garland went into semi-retirement in the 1950’s. After “In the Mood” enjoyed local success in Vancouver, Jerry Lee Lewis had a #10 hit in the UK with a cover of Ray Charles tune “What’d I Say” in the spring of 1961. Link to comment

Iving Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Shouldn't have got to p.3 of such a Thread as this without featuring Dave Hum RIP of The Huckleberries. This is my favourite studio track (Speed The Plough/Mason's Apron from 'Jigweed', 1998). If the Thread continues there'll be plenty more showcasing Dave Hum. I first saw The Huckleberries in the street in Bath. Stopped to watch as long as I could. Here's Dave Hum/Huckleberries entertaining a happy young crowd in Oxford, 2008: Some nasty people try to stifle street music in the UK. My friend Jonny Walker RIP founded Keep Streets Live to counter that sort of thing. Here he is supported by notables inc. Billy Bragg and Bill Bailey: christopher3393 1 Link to comment

Additional noteworthy covers (out of well over 100) Nice ... Love the TV coverage of The Chantays! Agree not many worthy covers - I like Johnny Thunders' Live version and there's something about Pat Metheny's acoustic rendition. Quite like Nokie too! Link to comment

I'm keen to see any "Lonesome Boatman" as per OP! Here's the same Dropkick Murphys track I *can* see in UK. imo "The Lonesome Boatman" of its intrinsic nature is nothing if not plaintive. The best renditions I have heard are solo whistle. Then it evokes extreme feeling and longing. This Dropkick is one hell of an attack on it! Dropkick about the right word I'd say [Rugby Union refers.] christopher3393 1 Link to comment
Iving Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 America - The Nice Live on TV's "How It is" 1968 imo All the best pop music: 1. Sits in the vinyl window mid-50s (Rockabilly explosion) to 1980-ish (ended with Punk); 2. Curious peaks at 1968 and 1973 - so many examples. christopher3393 1 Link to comment
