Today's post was supposed to be the last in the I- Pod Playlist series. That was until I had discovered that I had missed one off my list
Colorblind James Experience is the title of a Playlist featuring colours. Therefore there will only be a picture of the band but no music by them.Sorry.
Still there were plenty of good ones to choose from.
Let's start with a catchall namely All My Colours by Echo and the Bunnymen.
You could say the some for The Men They Couldn't Hang and The Colours but they restrict themselves to the Red, the Blue and the White.
The album Young America by The Poems was first released in 2006. Drew raved about it on Across the Kitchen Table but it was only on the re-release by Past Night From Glasgow that I was able to appreciate it in all it's glory. The vocals on Blue Eyes Coming come courtesy of Kerry Polwart, sister of Karine.
Contact in Red Square is a track on Blondie's second album 1978's Plastic Letters. I've only ever had it on vinyl so had to source a digital copy. Not sure if Blondie counts as a colour.
The 18th and final Playlist Mind Your Language will feature next time round.
Echo & the Bunnymen - All My Colours
The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Colours
Blondie - Contact in Red Square
I ran out and got that album by the Poems based on Drew’s raves too. Can’t believe I had not had it before because the original label it was on, Minty Fresh, was a favorite of mine, and I thought I had Bobby Bluebell’s work covered. - Brian
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of the Poems until now. What a great track. Will need to track them down.
