jwrass Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Post # 6063 #4, Hint # 6071 The Band was the Cuff Links. A few got the title right Post # 0675 #1 I didn't think anyone would get this unless your taste in music went a bit underground, He was the lead singer in Roxy Music which was not mainstream but a great band. The answer is Right Stuff by Brian Ferry I would recommend anything Brian Ferry. IMO great artist!!! Most likely won't have a W.B.W way to much going on.

JollySipper Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) You guys must have covered every song ever written! "There's room enough here for science to live, And there's room enough here for religion to forgive"... Can you tell us what this one is, Harry? It's a pretty cool quote........

Harry P. Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 That's "Our Country" by John Mellencamp and his top-notch band, with Little Big Town on backing vocals. Sort of an updated cousin of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land." Chevy used it in their TV truck ads for a while. Very cool song, IMO. Lyrics that are actually uplifting and meaningful, not like most of the krapp that passes for "lyrics" in so much pop music these days.

No rock star nonsense, no lasers or light show, just the band. The chick on violin is great... and the guy on the white guitar looks like John Lennon!

JollySipper Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I know you guys know the original artist of this one, but can you tell me who did an awesome cover of it..... it's the only band I know of that has done a cover of this song: "Everybody else is just green, have you seen the charts? It's a Hell of a start, it could be made into a monster, If we all pull together as a team"............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollySipper Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I should tell you, I doubt many people have heard the cover....... it's Primus, off the Miscellaneous Debris album. Les Claypools other band, the Frog Brigade, did a tribute to Floyds Animals album, they do it in it's entirety! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked Mellencamp Harry, i think the girl on the girl on the violin may be the girl who played the violin in paper and fire... I also like Kid Rocks son Born Free that Chevy is using now..

Harry P. Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Carl, I'm pretty sure the violin on "Paper in Fire" was Lisa Germano. She was a member of Mellencamp's band until the mid '90s when she left to do her own solo thing. "Our Country" was released in 2006 or so... so the violin was played by a different girl. That Kid Rock song is pretty slick. Almost too slick... like maybe it was written specifically for use in commercials? "Hey, Kid... can you come up with a catchy tune that we can use in a series of TV ads?" "You bet I can!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_G Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 A gimme gimme dat ding Tony Burrows sang on that, as well as Love Grows Where my Rosemary Goes, My Baby Loves Lovin', United We Stand, and Beach Baby. At one point he fronted 3 bands with top 40 hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a Kid Rock interview on Larry King and Kid said he keeps a pad and pencil and adds to songs he is currently writing daily but he might get some ideas while listening to the radio. i do like many of his songs...
