The Revenants - Let's Get Falling Down. Maybe the best song about getting drunk. I've certainly quoted its title as a precursor to a night out. | ||

Aretha Franklin - Chain of Fools (unedited version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK155B24 Mqc Wow. If those first 58 seconds of intro don't send shivers down your spine, you need to check for a pulse... | ||

That's really interesting Andrew, thanks. I wonder if the idea in the studio was for her to warm up so she could be completely "on" for the entirety of the song. For a contrast I'll offer Ann Peebles' later version of the same song. It takes a totally different approach. I remember on my first listen thinking it was a lifeless cover until by the time it had been going for a minute I realized it was a mean slow bubbling cauldron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hwTiObn s0g Peebles brings you the deep dirty chitlin circuit sound from Memphis, courtesy of Willie Mitchell. This particular link takes you through a number of her tracks. Follow them all. | ||

THe GBs - Finding you Completely caught out by this as the intro started up on a compilation I put together a few years back: all I could think was, damn, I know I love this song, but... and then the vocals kicked in. Good to hear it again. | ||

Bastien Lallemant – Madame Liste BL’s first two albums show off his love for Brassens and the chanson heritage and with their soft jazz cabaretish bossa nova rhythms are a bit less to my liking than his latest work: this song from les erotiques however is excellent, especially as it bursts half way through into a killer 60s organ groove. | ||

Stuart, as the luck of the draw I've received his first two albums first and, no, they're not really what I'm looking for. I was aware that the first album was an old-fashioned folk chanson affair but was hoping for something more modern with "Les erotiques." The presence of a band makes for better listening as I tend to snooze when it's just a guy and his guitar. The two newer albums were ordered at the same time and they'll eventually come rolling in. | ||

Scale The Heights - Goodbye To All That. Came across mention of the above on Roque's Indiepop Blog ( Cloudberry Cake Proselytism.) Irish band from the late 1980s who hailed from Maynooth, Co. Kildare. They released a single ( Goodbye To All That / So Soon ) on WEA Records in 1989 and recorded at least one ( perhaps two ) Fanning Sessions. https://fanningsessions.wordpress.com/20 11/06/08/scale-the-heights/ Scroll down the page for a selection of tracks including the A Side of the single. | ||

Wow, what a song, Hugh. Great find. I don't remember them at all, though I almost certainly read about them at the time. I moved to Boston in 1989, so I might have been gone by the time the single came out. I wish I had it. | ||

Padraig, The credit belongs to Roque. If the band did record two Fanning Sessions then there will almost certainly be enough recorded tracks for an album. A future Cloudberry Cake Kitchen release perhaps? Olesen-Olesen - Anonyme Melankolikere ( Som Folk Er Flest ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdCgOS_A aEU | ||
