On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

VA: pt. 23 - Waiting for Their Man

All I need say is this is a tribute to Lou Reed, twenty songs by a bunch of folks who loved his music.
"Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies being one... 

 

Various - What Goes On (The Songs of Lou Reed), Ace CDTOP1587, 2021.

Note: All of you familiar with my personal brand of psychosis have probably figured out by now that for next month all the shares will be prompted by the compilations I’m sharing this month. I’m going to try to select one artist from each comp to share something from their catalogue. If anyone wants to reply at any time with your requested artist share, I will try to share those as well (or just those Frenz choices, should the entire world flip upside down & there were magickally enough requests, I could skip or pair with mine). I just sez...

The spice of life,

      Thanks Richard, as always. I think most everyone who visits this dump stops by the fine JoKoNky site, but just in case...

      Nothing stoopid about the decryption key query. To the newbies here it is not necessarily obvious. Buried just below the surface to avoid the Interweb Police. Glad you found your way. Welcome aboard the ship of fools.

      appreciate it--I've actually been here often--love this place--I just had a senior moment, to use a term I hate, but when the shoe fits. Thanks

      Senior moments make up my day, but my shoes don't fit any more. Oh, wait...those aren't my shoes. Glad to officially make your acquaintance.

    Love any VU family stuff, so Thank You Very Much for this compilation, and for turning me on to Jokonky blog as well. The first 45 I ever bought was Vicious b/w Walk On The Wild Side, in grade 4 (1984) shortly after CBC blew my preteen mind by airing the original uncensored cut of Nelvana's cyberpunk classic Rock & Rule, with Mr. Reed providing some of the songs for evey Canadian animation fan of a certain age's favourite fictional rock star, Mok. My brother and I poured over our vhs home taped recording of it for decades.) Vicious did not disappoint. By grade 10, I Was A Teenage Laurie Anderson Clone. True story!

    That Cowboy Junkies cover of Sweet Jane was a deserved hit, too.

    Cheers!

      Thanks for the comment & tale of yore. Always a favorite item here.

      Don't know if you saw the Deadbeat version of Cowboy Junkies - Trinity I posted a while back

      Worth checking out if you enjoyed the original.

      Thank you for the heads-up! Very much enjoyed the original; The Caution Horses is lovely too, if a bit less gothic. I hadn't made it that far back in exploring your blog these past few months, there's so much ear treasure to explore, but I've just skipped back & eagerly dl'ed it. From your description it's right down my alley. Many Thanks! Cheers from NS :0)

The treasure of discovery, the power behind the musick. If you find any dead links, please let me know & I'll...I don't know...do Somethin'. I'm not all Sez, I alot Dewz.
