The Friday Music Shuffle (27.1.23)

Good afternoon and welcome to this week’s music shuffle. It’s where my music device selects ten songs from my collection entirely at random and I tell you what they are. And if you want to listen to the songs and even sing along, then just click on the title.

So, let’s rock!

1. Blind Willie McTell by Chrissie Hynde. Really good cover of this Dylan tune.
2. Sun In The Morning by St Etienne. Gorgeous, from 2005’s Tales From Turnpike House.
3. Cradling Mother, Cradling Woman by Fleet Foxes. More magnificence from Robin Pecknold’s band, this from 2020’s Shore.
4. Somebody Like Me by St Vincent. St Vincent is essentially the desperately talented Annie Clark. This lovely track comes from her 2021 album Daddy’s Home.
5. Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan. His Royal Bobness with a classic from the 1975’s sublime Blood On The Tracks.
6. Rock & Roll Fantasy by Bad Company. Back to 1979 with a track from their album Desolation Angels. Paul Rodgers on top form, as ever.
7. Some Other Time by The Alan Parsons Project. And back even further, to 1977, with this classic prog rock from Mr Parsons.
8. Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs. And back even further again, now to 1962 for a song that everyone knows. Great band.
9. The Nearest Faraway Place by The Beach Boys. Sticking with the oldies theme, this is from their 1969 record 20/20. Incredibly, an instrumental written by Bruce Johnston.
10. Written On The Sky by Max Richter. Some beautiful piano music to end with.

Lovely. This week’s Desert Island Disc is Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up in Blue.

That’s all, folks!
