Welcome to Anoo Radio.

10 years ago, I found 'Blues on a Holiday' thru Susan Tedeschi. This week, I found its actually by a bashful sweet fellow called Paul Richell in the 70s who says he first wrote it for Bonnie Raitt but was too shy to tell her when he met her!

There are also barely any covers of tutorials of this perfect song, so strange... barely any of 'Papa Come Quick' too... Im rueing this because Id be happy to learn these, so someone upload a tutorial quick?

This one by Johnnie Taylor is such a dance song... AND might be the most feminist musical spoutation Ive heard from a man: Its a man telling other men to respect the physical & sexual autonomy of women in their life!
Bet we never heard that while dancing!

Ok now on to, Jackson Browne's 'The Load-Out' ('Stay').

Its not a love song but its a song about love...?

9mins from a live concert, I love the first 3mins but wait thru because I love how it changes at 3.30m, 4.10m, 5m &then builds into 'Stay' at 5.35m!

And then it ends after 9 mins but I never want it to and I feel totally present in that 1977 live concert!

9 mins of Load-Out/Stay then ususally sets me on a predictable track of Jackson Browne > Bruce Hornsby > Steve Winwood...

Few tracks been on my mind thru the last many weeks of this humanitarian labour crisis.

'I aint gonna work on Maggi's Farm No More.'

Some think Dylan was making a comment on labour. Anyway, I prefer this sung in the key of..... Rage Against The Machine

Also on the crisis: 'Cant Find My Way Home' by the short lived supergroup, Blind Faith (Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech)

And for something "closer" to 2020: 'The Hands That Built America', U2

(I try to flag off the years of songs often because it always shocks me how much time has passed... like U2 released this in 2002. 18 years ago!)

On that note, this one from Gavin DeGraw... Have I really been listening to it for 16 years?!

In 2004, he did a soulful mashup of 'Tracks of My Tears' and 'Cupid.'
Still listening to it.
A rare deserving candidate in the 'blue eyed soul' genre.

As part of the numerous offerings we have received from musicians #AtHome during this pandemc, this week we got Alicia Keys who did a quick piano number of Stevie Wonder's 'Love's in Need of Love Today.’

Truth? I like it better than the original!

But may I not belittle 'Innervisions.'

Innervisions is from the gospel of Stevie Wonder, so there's no mincing around the album. Its the best (maybe more on this album later).
