Jimmy reminds me of another musical genius with a similar name
Jerry Reed
who passed 16 years ago this last suday


listen hard, not too many things in life are better than his lyrics to this song and the way he phrases them

If you are not from West Texas, you might not know that 'strings' rhymes with 'chains'.

Jerry Reed A+

Yeah, anyone that can rhyme MOSES AND GROCERIES is ok in my book......

Genius

deeper dive into the jerry reeds

it's a beautiful medely before he gets through with it

and this one is just asking for cheat actions

Norway only had one tv-channel when I was growing up - they started transmitting at 6 pm (except for weekends when they would start earlier) and ended at midnight. There was a regular schedule each day (news, sports and so on) but every day had a special "thing". Monday was a movie, Tuesday was a theatre-setup, Wednesday was a comedy show... I'm actually not sure if Thursday had a set thing, but Saturday had a a football-match from England and a general entertainment thing in the evening while Sunday was typically sports and an opera-performance.

Friday though, was Crime-night with a detective show - it was shown late at night and way past my bedtime, but I was lucky enough to grow up with awesome parents and I knew that as long as I went to bed at my given bed-time, but still stayed awake, my dad would pop his head in the door and go "You're still awake, huh? Well, you can come out to watch the detective-show" when it started. So I'd bring my duvet to the couch and wrap up in that to watch.

It alternated between different detective shows - there was The Saint with Roger Moore, Kojak, Baretta, Columbo and a lot of others which were all good, but the one we all loved the most and especially hoped for, was Derrick.

Say what you want about the Germans, but dammit, they know how to do detective-shows. And set them to awesome music.

If you already know Derrick, you obviously do not need any background to understand the awesomeness of these tunes.

If you, like I suspect most, do not, you just have to overlook the slightly(?) creepy look of Frank Duval and imagine that you're listening to these songs interwoven into an incredibly moving storyline that you've just watched where people have gotten murdered and brutalized and it's all really sad and touching. And just when everything is at it's most emotional, these songs rise up from the background to drive the point home.

^Nice... I grew up on that LP. I remember when it was first released.

My best friend was a self taught pianist and he could play the Excerpts from the six wives of King Henry the Eighth in its entirety. In the mid 1970's, that pretty much blew everybody's mind back then.

Chris Squires bass work was so cinematic on that track. Bruford was simply the best drummer for several bands.

This is why I love these guys so much...

Just starting to dig into the genius of Milton Nascimento. I stumbled upon him performing with Pat Metheny and Paul Simon (first one, then the other).



It's a cliche but back then you'd be lucky to even hear that this music exists, let alone hear it. Now you can juist scratch the surface of the great music available to you in a lifetime.

Disagree. Broadcast radio was much less homogeneous through the 1970s and the chance of hearing him was greater. Actually, now my only source for new and interesting music is this forum. Algorithms not so much.

Argument today with my colleague while she was giving me a ride home. She insisted the line from this song was "Pretty women out walking with runners down my street." She refused to believe it is "gorillas" because runners indicates men who run around. I had to Google it before she believed me, despite my acute explanation.

Every once in a while I stumble across something that stops me in my tracks. I'd embed the video, but it gives me an error message.

It's always been gorillas, all way down.

Sharing this one mainly for the killer entrance.

Orgasmic!

Great live performance.

Beautiful performance. I like to think about what the lyrics to this song would be if it were written by an American.

It kinda worked out for the best. I read this and the last thing I was expecting when I scrolled down and saw the embedded video was some old duop type group. Having seen that, I was not expecting the wild stuff I heard. It was quite a roller coaster ride.
