It's Shuffle time again and this week we will start with the second greatest act to have come out of Auchtermuchty. The Proclaimers don't have a statue there yet unlike Jimmy Shand but surely it is only a matter of time.
Over and Done With is taken from their 1987 debut This is the Story released just after they blew everyone away following their performance on the Tube.
Tupelo Honey is a song written by Van Morrison. His version is very good as is the cover by Dusty Springfield. However, the best version for me will always be the one by the R&B singer Little Milton. It has appeared here before and doubtless it will do so again.
I don't think that Brighton band Hadda Be have featured here under that name but they have done so under their previous name Foundlings which I think they had to change for contractual reasons. This song is taken from their 2021 album Another Life which was released by Last Night From Glasgow. Their back catalogue can be found here
More shuffling next Saturday.
Never mind this modern rubbish, we need more from the Laird of Auchtermuchty
ReplyDeleteFor a second, I thought that last track was Haddaway.
ReplyDeleteI worked with a really sweet girl once years ago who had a complete crush on Craig and Charlie Reid. That always warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite fond of the Hadda Be album which LNFG put out a few years back.
