It was way back in August 2019 when I last saw some live bands at a Rock festival in Kent in Blighty.
These days I seem to find myself going over to good old You Tube and clicking on to some memorable tracks. I might even start featuring them on here?
One track that I absolutely adore is Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones. It's over fifty years since it was released and it still resonates with young and old and not so young like yours truly.
Apparently Keith Richards penned this track and it's about his girlfriend dropping him and moving in with Jimi Hendrix. Like they do. He said:
"Sometimes you're just left with your keyboard and guitar."
So here's a version of Ruby Tuesday sung the by Corrs and accompanied with Ronnie Wood.
I actually think it's a very good cover like that donkey jacket I used for a blanket and my my mum said: "call it an Eiderdown."
She was having some posh company round and I shouted downstairs:
"Mum the sleeves just fell off the Eiderdown".
The old ones are always the best.
I would love to see The Corrs. People often tell me the time they played Bantry Mussel Fair in the nineties and how good they were. I often read and hear people talking about Rory Gallagher playing Macroom Castle and Nirvana playing Cork. Someday Kansas will play somewhere exotic in West Cork like Dunmanway or Bantry even I can dream.😊
Enjoy:
Those poor girls. Great voices, but those faces. Like a bag of spanners as my friend used to say.
ReplyDeleteOnly joking They are gorgeous aren't they.
Like a bulldog chewing a wasp Les Dawson would say. Yes they are incredibly beautiful JayCee. I love the Corrs along with Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, Aslan, Clannad and Luka Bloom and any other singer or Irish band I've forgot to mention tonight.
ReplyDeleteI like that better than the Stones' version.
ReplyDeleteSo do I Tasker.
DeleteSame here Dave. One of my all time favourites.

I haven't YP. I will go over to You Tube and give it a listen. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteOh one of my all time favourite songs!A few years back,I bought a book from a charity shop called Goodbye Ruby Tuesday by Donna Hay.Only because of the title,lol.Turned out to be a great book! Also,there used to be cafe in a local village called Ruby Tuesdays.It was called that for years...then someone thought it a good idea to report them..and they were forced to change the name.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Debi. Great name for a cafe, boutique or even a Rock club, Thanks.
DeleteGreat song. You have good taste
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I will have to feature some more of my favourite classic tracks.
DeleteLike a lot of the Stones output much underrated. Personally I always preferred them to the Beatles.
ReplyDeleteI must give the Stones a good long listen Unknown. I think John Lennon was brilliant but they all have their place in Rock history. Thanks for commenting.
