Crash Course: Bobby Fuller

\

Bobby Fuller was an rock singer and guitar player in the mid-sixties. He is probably the most famous for his hit " I Fought the Law" and "Love's Made a Fool of You" Bobby Fuller was heavily influenced by Buddy Holly.   Bobby Fuller was a great singer, but if he had more time to hone his style he may of been a legend. Recommended songs: A New Shade of Blue, Another Sad and Lonley Night, My Own True Love, Love's Made a Fool of You


Bobby Fuller died July 18, 1966 at the age of 23 from “accidental asphyxiation."

Mellow Musical Madness!

Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory. Johnny's voice wasn't a typical great voice, but he had one thing that many artists do not, and that was passion. He sings with so much passion it makes you feel what he feels and damn that is special. Duff from Guns and Roses does a valiant job, but it is nothing comparable to the original.

Roy Orbison - Blue Angel.  When I think of a beautiful voice Roy Orbison is usually at the top. Here is a song that shows off his talents. Let Ol' Roy (Not the dog food...) tug at your heart strings.

Music! Mayhem! Madness!

 " I don't need to sell my soul, he's already in me. I wanna be adored." Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored.  Could you think of better lyrics for your "Rock" song? I would have my doubts. Lyrics aside, this is a mellow number that takes you for a 4:51 minute ride. Great song, great album! Listen for the train and jump on!

Del Shannon - I Go to Pieces. Del Shannon was popular in the early sixties with the song "Runaway" and "Hats Off to Larry." Del's singing style was very much his own, and that is what makes this song so lovely. He  sings with so much conviction...This is a real tear jerker. RIP DEL

Vinyl Madness!

Since I'm new to buying and listening to vinyl, my record collection is small. When I saw my brother recently he gave me a handful of records, and one of them being The Beatles Second Album. The album cover has a lot of wear, but the record itself is in amazing condition. I played the album about 5 times  last night, and remembered why I enjoy The Beatles so much. Good times, great oldies.

Issued: April 10, 1964 Label: Capitol
