Yes indeed. This week all of the songs have the word "Black" in them. Don't ask me how I think of these things.
1) Blackest Eyes - Porcupine Tree
Been looking for an excuse to play this one.
2) Black Cat Shuffle - Al Dimeola
Al and Jan.....
3) Black Cat - Gentle Giant
An oldie but a goodie.
4) Black Hat - National Health
Jazzy little scat number.
5) Black Moon - ELP
Seems to be missing from the Moon (song only)...really is a black moon!
6) Black & White - Deep Purple
Off of "House Of Blue Light", a later period fantastic record.
7) Blackbird - Schleigho
Lego my Schleigho!
8) Blackbird - The Beatles
I've been waiting for this moment to arrive....
9) Black Licorice - Grand Funk Railroad
From the 1974 live record "Caught In The Act", features a dynamic vocal by Don Brewer.
10) Black Licorice - Gamalon
Another repeat song title....love that first Gamalon record.
11) Black Ice - Stu Hamm
The bassmeister.
12) Starless and Bible Black - King Crimson
Meandering, but failure to include this one probably would make someone mad.
13) Black Roses - Mystery
A band I'm finding more and more pleasurable with each listen.
14) Ritual - Big Black Secret
Another band I'm learning.
15) Tantalus - Black Dream
I'll be listening to this one closely...not familiar with them.
16) Black Napkins - Frank Zappa
Can put Uncle Frank in every show.
17) Logos Affinity - Suitor In Black
Want to sample this one too.
18) Black Eyes and Broken Glass - Enchant
Very socially and emotionally aware these guys. Dedicated to Old Sod
.
19) The Black River - Djam Karet
One of my favorite bands.
20) Fourteen Black Paintings - Peter Gabriel
Not too many "obscure" Gabriel tunes, but this may apply.
21) Black December - It Bites
Thanks to SAM for playing this today.
22) Black Holes Colliding - The Gak Omek
Intersting tune. A bit of a challenge at 10+ minutes, but still fun.
23) Black Satin Dancer - Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull. Enough said.
24) Black Flag - King's X
"Black Flag on my roaches"...can't get that out of my head
25) Black Like Sunday - Kings X
Another rocker from another favorite group.
26) Black Light Syndrome - Bozzio Levin Stevens
Tony Levin works his way into another show....
27) Black Betty - Ram Jam
Yes I own this. It's a best of, and damn if I remember if the rest is any good, but "whoa Black Betty, ram a lam!" Deal with it.
28) Inside Black - Planet X
Guitar-driven, a bit of a change up for them.
29) Short Tales of the Black Forest - DeLucia Dimeola McLaughlin
Where else can you hear this two songs after Ram Jam? OK maybe Gnosis....
One of the most fun songs ever made. The interplay and improvisation of this piece is just great.
30) Black Noise - FM
This CD should be in everyone's collection.
31) March Of The Black Queen - Queen
A nice finisher, I think this tune is a masterpiece.
See you in the Black Box!
