Has anyone heard of this band before? I downloaded their album, Yes It Is, years ago for one song; on first listen it sounded like a generic crappy 70’s band, but I listened it a couple of more times and really like all of these songs. Aquarium Drunkard has a good post about the album if you want more info. Don’t know why it popped into my brain again, but give it a listen and let me know what you think:

Let It Be
Like my exhaustion with covers of Come Together, as mentioned last post, I would was hesitant about Clarence Carter’s version of the oft covered Let It Be, but damn, that Clarence Carter voice is fucking great for this:

Patches
Here is another jam from the Chairman of the Board, off their debut album. The covers by Clarence Carter and Jerry Reed are done so well that they sound like they wrote them, but like I mentioned in the last post, the original was removed on Spotify:
Looking at the tracklisting, I was intrigued in the covers. Dave Mason’s Feeling Alright is worth a listen, but I might just be too burnt out on so many covers of the Beatles’ Come Together to enjoy their version.

Give Me Just a Little More Time must be going through some ownership disputes, because it keeps being taken off and put on Spotify over the past couple years. As Mike pointed out, it is currently not. So enjoy it on youtube for now:

Tough Crowd
Must be running out of things to watch, because the new go to is youtube clips of Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd from the 90s. There are definitely some very 90’s takes on hot topics, but still Colin Quinn, Patrice O’Neal and Greg Giraldo at their best.
Below is best of, but one great short clip is this infamous one where Giraldo almost got into a fist fight with Denis Leary.
