Conceal Your Identity

Time for a Southern Rock treat.
A radio broadcast from the band Alias.
This one is sent in by Norm, cheers Bud!
Now I bought their album when I was out shopping at the used record shop a while ago.Why?
Because when I was looking at the back cover credits I noticed the album featured a couple of Skynyrd members.
So...if they're on it, it'll probably be pretty good.It was.
To the show,seems they are playing the whole of the album here.I think they only made the one album "Contraband"?
Haven't researched the history of the band so don't know much about what happened with them.
Anyway it's quality old school Southern Rockin'.

Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo?

Man, I Got Tons More To Post, But It's Gettin' Late...
Check Back Tomorrow, Should Have Some More RE-UPs Too!

In The Meantime - strad (A Good Friend To HRC Who Posts Over At Lockjaw Blog And Other Places) Upped This One!
It's Just What You's Lookin' For!

Thin Lizzy - Remembering - Part 1
http://mir.cr/JWIOZ00U

Cryin' Tears Of Joy!

Man, But I Love This Band - Cry Of Love!
Hard-Rockin'-Ass-Kickin'-Rock-N-Roll!
They're Usually Classified as Southern Rock, Just Like Black Stone Cherry Is, Most Times...
But, They're Really NOT!
Sure They Got an Undertone Of Southern To Them, But Not Enough Where I'd Place Them In That Category - Either Band!
This Is an Excellent FM radio Broadcast Recording - You Won't Find Much Better Than This One!
The Only Flaw In This One Is That It's Too Short! Even Though Several Of These Songs Are Quite Long!

Cry Of Love - Hollywood93

Holy Hell...Let's Get Down. O Sinners!

Oh! Hell, Look Out Now...Here Comes Dan Baird!
That Crazy-Assed Fellow With a Little Bit O' Country And A Whole Heap Of Rock And Roll!
No Matter The Band: Be It Keith & The Satellites, The Georgia Satellites, Solo, With The Sofa Kings, The Yayhoos, Or Homemade Sin - Doesn't Matter - Dan Takes Five And Makes His Presence Very Well Known!

Scooby sent this one in to HRC! 

And This Is a Perfect Scooby-Snack!

Damn! But Don't It Sound Good, All Loose & Sloppy, But There's Just 9 Songs...
I Reckon It's an Excellent AUD Recording, BUT, It Sounds So Good & Powerful!
It'll Set You Back On Your Ass!
IF You Like Dan Just a Lil' Bit, Then D/L This One NOW!
And, Crank It Loud As Hell! Ain't No Other Way To Listen To Dan The Man!

The Crimson Tide Rolls On...

Here's an Excellent Soundin' Country Concert!
It's a FM Radio Broadcast Recording!
It's Alabama, One Of Country's Most Celebrated & Revered Country Bands, Playin' Live Back in '82 at The University Of Alabama!
You Can Check Out The Setlist On The Back Cover...
The Biggest Surprise for me was their Version Of Teach Your Children, Seemed a Strange Choice of Tunes For Them...
Some Of The Songs Listed are Just Teasers Or Excerpts - Not The Whole Song - Like Sweet Home Alabama...
If You're a 'Bama Fan - Then Scoop This One Up!

It's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar...

Let's Start This Round Off With a Little Country, Then Work Our Way Up To Some Rock...
Here's a Dwight Yoakam Concert from Last Year (2011)
It's an Excellent AUD Recording!
Everything's Mixed Well and Balanced And Easily Heard - EXCEPT, I was just a Little Disappointed, myself...
WHY?
'Cause It Lacks That Telecaster TWANG - like Pete Anderson - on Most Tracks!
It sounds a Little Too Much Like an Acoustic Show, Even Though It's Not...That guitar makes itself heard here and there But Not with the consistency of the Past!
The Setlist is Wonderful and He does close to 30 songs on the 2 CDs, But for me this show just lacked that Kick usually associated with Dwight's Brand Of Country!
Maybe You'll find it Better to your liking than I did, But I've Posted ALL the Other Dwight Boots in the Past - So, I had to post this one Too!

Instapuppy

My father-in-law texted me a photo of two little curled up lab-ish looking puppies in the early morning of June 1st with the question "want another lab?"  He was on a business call in Columbia, Tn. which had him visiting a scrap metal working shop.  As he walked up to the office door two little, filthy puppies approached him, a little shiver-y after a rainy night (queue heart string yanking music).



Our good boy Leo had a hard winter.  At not quite 8 years old we had him X-rayed to find some aggravated and swollen joints from a puppy injury, a bit of arthritis and evidence of his spine having fused and rebroken in a few spots.  Not fun stuff for a 100lb dog to deal with.  I spent lots of nights down on the floor with him, giving him nice slow rubs, to hopefully lessen his discomfort, and gave him some pain killers on and off when he seemed to just not be able to move.  One night he sat whining on the back porch because he wanted to come back in after his bathroom break in the yard- and I stood in the open door welcoming him, but he couldn't lift his hind end off the ground.  And he wanted to so badly.  He was just in so much pain.  I cried a bit with him, and in the cold dark, I convinced him to let me carry his back end while he walked his front end into the house, up a few brick steps.  It was as though he was more emotionally hurt than physically at the notion of me helping him.  We found his soft spot on the warm rug, where he spent most winter nights.



Some days we would see a little improvement, but most days I was reluctantly coming to the a slow realization that maybe Leo wouldn't ever get back to his happy normal.  Jeff suggested we think about going ahead and getting another dog, and the thought not only made me cry but infuriated me.  All dogs should be like Leo.  He is perfection.  He is gentle, beautiful, protective and spirited.  More than anyone could ever hope for.  I have felt sure that even if he could speak words, he would never utter one complaint.  I wanted nothing to do with another dog.  I couldn't think of another.



With the warm weather returning, so has Leo's mobility, comfort and old self.  He's even shared a family walk or two and seemed no worse for wear after.  It was after a few months of Leo back to his old self that I got the text from Jack.  I caved.  This little pair of puppies had been left there, likely just dumped.  No tags.  No houses anywhere for miles.  I checked all the missing listings and shelters that I could, but it appeared they were intentionally left.  So I set out on a trip, about an hour south, to have a look for myself.  Something in me switched on when I saw the picture.  Not just the puppies' need.  But also of Leo's gift.  What a perfect pet he has been.  And what a perfect teacher he would be to a new little one.  On how to be.  How to live with us. 



Deciding between the two puppies was agonizing, but better once a metal worker there had agreed to take home which ever I didn't choose.  So I took the one that didn't jump up and greet us right away.  I took the one that was napping through our whole visit and only looked up to make sure we posed no threat, then went back to sleep with a little tail wag.  I took the one that looked more like Leo. And he is settling in just fine.



And Leo?  It's like I brought home a baby just for him.  The little one follows Leo and does as Leo does.  Leo is so tolerant and has developed one special growl for "okay, I'm done with the biting and rolling around thing for now".  Little one obeys, sits down and takes a big hrumpf sigh.  Then finds a sock.  Or a kid.  And goes right back to it.



But then they sleep like this.



Or like this.



And also like that.  They are a pair.  And so happy, both of them.  All of us.



We named him Cash.  As in Johnny.  Getting left in a parking lot in Maury County waiting to be saved was altogether too southern and tragic not to name him as such.  And it was on the first day of June.  So.  We love him.  He is a lucky boy to have a perfect surrogate father, not to mention a flock of adoring people brothers and sisters.  Jeff and I sorta love him too.

So an early happy Father's Day to our Leo.
And, if you haven't guessed it, I'm instagraming @annamariahorner.  So if you want more play by play of puppies, what I eat for breakfast, what beer I nurse as I put on date-night makeup and other important details, just follow.

xoxo, AM

Backwoods Solid Gold!

How About Some More Black Stone Cherry?
Here They Are Live In Wales in 2009...
They Played at a Place Called Sin City (Must Be Like The Las Vegas Of Wales Or Somethin'?)
But I Guess That's Just The Name Of The Venue, Not The Town Or City...Which Is Swansea, Apparently...
In Kentucky - Not Too Far From Hear Rock City - There's a Very Small Community (Not A Town Or City - Maybe More Like a Village, I Guess, Located Up In The Hills) With Probably Only a Few Hundred Souls Livin' There - And The Name Of The Place: "HELL For Certain"!
I'm Serious!
Nice AUD Recording Of These Kentucky Boys Doin' Their Thing!
You Can Listen To The Sample To See IF It's Something You Might Want, IF Not, Just Let It Pass On By!

More Than One Way To Skyn A Cat!

Here's a BIG Post Of Lynyrd Skynyrd - Through The Years!
Pick & Choose OR Get Them ALL - That Choice Be Yours!
First Up Is A Recording Of The Original Band Which Includes Ed King & Bob Burns...
These Were The Guys That Produced (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)!
There's ONLY 3 Songs Here, And As Far As I Know It's Only Been Released On The DVD Set Of Rockpalast Performances...
This Audio Was Ripped From an Old VHS Video Bootleg Years Ago!
The Sound Quality Is Pretty Great To Be So Old!
Now, From Looking At The Back Cover, You'd Think The Setlist Would Proceed Just The Opposite...
But, I Swear That's The Way It Was On The Video...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Rockpalast74
http://www.mediafire.com/?logpyjhenn1aava

Someone Asked For This One, In Particular...
I'm Not Entirely Sure What The Title Means - Maybe Someone Can Explain It To Me?
Pretty Good Sounding SBD Overall...
Recorded Not Long Before The Band Would Be Changed Forever!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - AsburyParkNJ77
http://www.mediafire.com/?3vu9cp78b2ihbi4
Now We Fast-Forward Many Years:

Skynyrd Played Down In Their Hometown Of Jacksonville, Florida As A Kick-Off For The Super Bowl Back In 2005...
And Probably The Coolest Thing About This Bootleg Is Charlie Daniels Appearance On The South's Gonna Do It Again!
It's An Excellent Recording!
A TV Broadcast Or Some Such Shown On CMT Or Something Like That!
Sound Quality Is Simply Stellar!

LynyrdSkynyrd-Jacksonville05
http://www.mediafire.com/?k3d9zphtk7dz935

And, Lastly, Is This Concert From Alabama...
Wait 'Til You Hear It, You'll Swear It's NOT an AUD Recording, BUT, It Is!
Just Goes To Show You How Good Some Of These Can Be!
But Don't Take My Word For It -
Listen To The Sample:
05 Down South Jukin'.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/?80k789as90takov
Recorded Last Year (2011) At The Wharf In Orange Beach - It Features The Current Touring Version Of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Not Sure What Some People Think Of This Band Calling Themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd) But, Anyway - Here They Are Live!

LynyrdSkynyrd-Orange BeachAL11
http://www.mediafire.com/?x7k9akkf582jmje
So There You Have It - That Enough Skynyrd For You At One Time!

A Whale Of A Time!

OK, First Of All, This ISN'T The "Official" Release - Great Zeppelin by Great White...
There are a Few Differences:
1. There Are More Songs On This One Making It a Double CD Set!
2. I Think They Sound Better On This One Than The "Official" Release!
3. A Very Enthusiastic & Receptive Audience Can Be Heard Throughout!
4. It's a Really Super-Charged, High-Energy Concert & Recording!
5. Jack Russell's In-Between Talks (Raps) Are Included!

It's an AUD Recording of The Led Zeppelin Project They Did Right Around That Time!
It Sounds REAL, As If You-Are-There!

Here's a Sample:

http://www.mediafire.com/?p9ra2lxwviivt2y
I Listened To This In It's Entirety Last Night And Dared Anyone In The House To Holler At Me For ANY Reason, Except IF The House Was On Fire Or Something That Severe!
I Was That Much Into It!

Odds & Ends...

UPDATE:

strad dropped the Particular Cleveland 76 Lizzy show that you wanted, as well (Thanks, Again!)
I'll Post It Here Soon - PLUS Got Tons More Stuff to Post, And Many More RE-UPs on the way!
New Requests noted, also!



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone Wanted Thin Lizzy (Cleveland '76, I Think It Was?) With A Slow Version Of  Romeo And The Lonely Girl...
I Think This Is What You Wanted?
This Is Actually From Leith Hall - Edinburgh, Scotland - (Mar 31, 1976)
It's An AUD Recording, So I Wanted To Check To See If There's any Point In Posting The Whole Show...
Romeo And The Lonely Girl.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/?70bimdw9xa2l0m0

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone Else Was Wanting a Twisted Sister - Come Out & Play Era Bootleg...
I Found This One - It's Also An AUD Recording, So, Again, Is It Worth Proceeding To The Artwork & Posting Stage?
It's From Stockholm, Sweden - March 28, 1986
You Want What We Got.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/?bx94a599dpbp4t5

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone Else Was Wanting Lynyrd Skynyrd  on Their UK Tour...
It's From O2 Manchester Apollo - Manchester, England - June 2nd, 2012
Sounds A Little Distant To Me, But Let Me Know What You Think - Again Is It Worth It To Go From Here?
02 Workin' For MCA.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/?1z551en9jj1upxh
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IF Any Or ALL Of These aren't Worth It - I Could Spend Time On Other Projects...But, I'll Let You Guys Call It!

Blackberrys Are In Season At HRC!

Here's Something Some Folks I Know Been Lookin' For, For A Long Time!
Gotta Thank Lippy For This One! (He Sent It During My "Going Away" Period - So, I'm Not Sure I Thanked Him Properly! But It Is Very Much Appreciated - Like Eveything Else You've Ever Sent...Can't Thank You Enough! Do You Know The Rocket Man Or What?)
The Audio was Taken From an HD-TV Broadcast (Which Was a Stellar DVD He Sent Along With This Audio Version) From Something Called The Moondance Jam Up in Walker, Minnesota!

The Sound Quality Therefore Is Super Excellent!
Can You Say: Oh! Hell Yeah!
It Runs Just Shy Of An Hour, And Well, You Can Check Out The Setlist On The Back Cover...
This One's Right Up My Alley, My Cup O' Tea, Whatever...
I Like It, I Love It, Etc.
A Nice Blend Of Country & Southern Rock!
NOTE: I'd Love To Share The DVD With You BUT I Refuse To Upload That Many Links...I Saw A DVD Recently on A Site That Had 32 Links To D/L!!!!
So, Anyway - Here's The AUDIO ONLY Version for You To Crank (Whether You Got A Pick-Up Truck Or Not!) And To Enjoy Over And Over!

Blackberry Smoke - Moondance Jam10
http://www.mediafire.com/?6634i2pqi12644q

Apocalypse Wow!

This was a Recent Webcast Commemorating The Release Of Slash's New CD: Apocalyptic Love!
It's Billed As Slash  Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators...

Excellent Sound Quality!
Excellent Performance, as well!
Hard Rockin' Rock Music!
Not Much Else Needs To Be Said on this One...
You Know What It Is Or You Don't...
You Like It Or You Don't...
You're Gonna Get It Or You're Not...
