Blue Rose Collection Vol 5

 


We are back in Abstatt, Germany this week to hook up with the good people from Blue Rose Records.

Blue Rose Collection Volume 5 is the third, and I think last, compilation from the label that I have. We appear to be doing it in reverse chronologically given we started with Vol 8, then Vol 7 and now Vol 5

By and large the usual suspects appear with some being more obscure than others as befits such a compilation.

Obviously I can't see past Steve Wynn so we kick off with his song Mandy Breakdown. Farmer Not So John also have a presence on the blue shelf so here they are with Undertow.

I've also gone for two of the five bonus tracks. Firstly I give you Big In Iowa with a cover of the Neil Young classic Cinnamon Girl.We conclude with Rich Hopkins & Luminarios  and the song Poker Face thankfully not a cover of the Lady Gaga number.

This is number 40 in this Sunday Series. I'm aiming for 50. My spreadsheet says  64 but I suspect some of them may be a bit spurious. Not that that's ever stopped me.

  1. I had forgotten all about Framer Not So John. I used to have their eponymous debut album but I thing it has long disappeared. Don't think this track was on it.
