Last week, I posted the song Miss Williams’ Guitar which is about Victoria Williams, a wonderful songwriter and performer in her own right. I’ve seen her perform solo, as well as with her band The Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers. As my wedding was approaching, I sent her an email about her song Let It Be So, a song she wrote for her sister’s wedding. She sent a gracious reply along with the chords to the song. So I feel bad for not posting a song she wrote, but I have to post this one which has a connection to next week’s tune. Here she is performing with Lou Reed.

This song, written by Lou Reed for The Velvet Underground, is not consistent with what is typical from them, in style or content, and almost sounds like it could be a prayer. Fairly true to the sound of the original recording, here is Jesus, as covered by the 77’s. Piped

Jesus is a song, that I kind of liked but never liked the backup vocalist on the VU album. This is a good version and with a younger Reed, this might have hit the top ten.

Sean, I was not familiar with that, I really like that arrangement.
Mike, that’s cool. Back in the day when street scenes looked like a car show.
Last week I shared a song by the 77’s who lead singer, Mike Roe (not to be confused with Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame), is also in the Lost Dogs. They have written everything from the profound to the bizarre.
This song is about a guy who looses his girl and as he lives near the freeway comes up with a rather silly way to win her back.

I wasn’t either or had forgotten. It just popped up in the youtube selection. The song might have actually hit the charts without Doug Yule’s vocals. Fernanado actually added what Yule wasn’t capable of. Yule was lead on ‘candy says’ which did work okay, but he just didn’t have the range or able to harmonize with Reed, which is hard to do.

Continuing my thread; also in the Lost Dogs is Derri Daughtery, lead singer of The Choir. My initial gut said to post Burning Like the Midnight Sun, but for this silly “It’s all connected” excursive to work, I’m instead going with Behind That Locked Door, a George Harrison cover.
