Well last week's post fairly caught the public's imagination.
Over 30 suggestions for BB which would make for a terrific playlist.
I'd made my choices in advance and they all feature.
With regards to George's challenge to feature acts not mentioned the only name I can come up with is Big Bill Broonzy.
Like C the first one I thought of could potentially be a triple B. We start with B"B" B namely Bobby "Blue" Bland. Sorry C but Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City is clearly not absolutely essential given that it does not feature on my Bobby "Blue" Bland - The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection
Early bird SWC identified my other two choices.Billy Bragg ( who could also qualify as the Bard of Barking) is busy building Bridges Not Walls whereas the Bhundu Boys are talking about the happy and enduring life of a musician
Any yes Dirk had I anything by the Ballistic Brothers or the Bollock Brothers they would have more than likely featured.
I've got my C's sorted. over to you for your suggestions
Bobby "Blue" Bland - I Pity the Fool
Billy Bragg - Not Everything That Counts Can Be Counted
Bhundu Boys - Hupenyu Hwangu
I've got a Bollock Brothers single. Must dig it out.
ReplyDelete1. Ain't No Love is essential. It's track 1 side 1 of Dreamer.
ReplyDelete2. Would Bard of Barking be BoB and not double B?
Carlene Carter, Clarence Carter, Chris & Cosey.....Ok, I don't honestly expect to see the last of these suggestions next week, but I reckon I'm in with a fighting chance with the first two.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, does 10cc qualify?
ReplyDeleteA great treble bill for the BBs.
ReplyDeleteTrying to think of CCs - do you have anything by China Crisis, Cutting Crew or Celia Cruz?!
Chris Cacavas, Caitlin Cary, Culture Club, Cab Calloway,
ReplyDeleteHow about one of your own home recordings, CC? Or failing that, Chubby Checker
ReplyDeleteI know he's not hip, but Christopher Cross has done some fab pop songs.
ReplyDeleteHere are the votes fron TSOBO cloud control cold cave Carl Cox Cath Coffey Chapel Club Chrome Canyon and best of all Crystal Castles.
ReplyDeleteBB was much easier, I must say! Also: what a shame that The Swede beat me on Clarence Carter: wonderful suggestion!
ReplyDeleteCannibal Corpse, Cath Caroll (she of Miaow), Chin Chin (from Switzerland and most fine, I suggest 'Why Am I So Lonely'!)
I second many of the above. What's unmentioned from my library?
ReplyDeleteCassius Clay? Oh yes...

You realise I could have written three of my own blog posts in the time it took me to do this?
How about Cha Cha Cohen (they do exist, I have albums by them!) Will you allow CCS as in Tap Turns On The Water? If so that gets in Creedence Clearwater Revival. Finally for MicroSoft Excel users there's Cooper Clarke, John
