Last weekend on his brilliant Saturday Snapshots series the answer to one of Rol's conundrums was the song Some Jingle Jangle Morning by Mary Lou Lord.
I got the answer right but only after FBCB had down some of the legwork.
After listening to the song I thought I would track it down with a view to acquiring it only to discover that I already had it. This is not an uncommon occurance.
I only appear to have two more of her songs. One is a cover of Richard Thompson's wonderful Beeswing
Mary Lou started out as a busker doing acoustic covers such as this before attracting a degree of internet interest. This may have been because at the time she was dating Kurt Cobain just as Nirvana were achieving international fame, something that I was blissfully unaware of until now.
I would hazard a guess that he may well have been the inspiration for the final song featured below
Mary Lou Lord - Some Jingle Jangle Morning
Mary Lou Lord - Beeswing
Mary Lou Lord - His Indie World
Nice version of Beeswing.
ReplyDeleteI have a few more tracks by her but not any actual albums. I could have sworn she'd featured here before though.
ReplyDeleteThink she may have made a brief appearance in my Burnt Offerings series
