mitchells Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Maggie Koerner: Love Drug Can't wait to see her in New Orleans in April. One of life's mysteries is why she isn't famous. She has so many good songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitchells Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 And speaking of Maggie Koerner, 7 years ago I saw this in person. It remains the best single song I've ever seen performed live. It was magical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I'm listening to this calypso track from 1939 about Germany invading Poland, and I have to say it's making the hairs on my neck stand on end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Oy but then it's followed by another song by the same guy praising Neville Chamberlain's approach to dealing with Hitler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Immediately makes me think of Robert Wyatt's "Stalin Wasn't Stalling," not calypso but a jarringly jolly take on the subject matter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 This calypso wasn't cheery. It was outraged and afraid. That Wyatt is a cover, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Yes, originally war-time. I had to look it up: ""Stalin Wasn't Stallin' (A Modern Spiritual)" was a song written in 1943 by Willie Johnson and originally recorded by the a cappella gospel group the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet (of which Johnson was a member) in 1943. Robert Wyatt recorded a cover of the song in 1980." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
