The Poor House Thornton 3:27

Reno is sparkling ahead honey i though i'd give you a call
looking for tomato to be sunny in the midst of this snowfall
i let you and the kids down for way too long now
hoping to turn our life around if i can just figure out how


i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
pay off those loans
i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
and i won't do it stoned

i'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines and pull handles till my hands are blue
i'll do just about anything to bring a future home to you
i'll put down the pills and liquor you know i tried to keep a job
i just think that this'll be quicker if i can win a little of the mob

i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
pay off those loans
i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
now that i'm not stoned


well my plan don't work exactly honey but i do have a little good news
im not bringing home any money but i didn't turn back to booze
i guess its back to the drawing board ideas are starting to brew
i'm bringing back all i can afford and that's love to the kids and you

i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
pay off those loans
i'm working on a plan
to save our home
keep us out of the poor house
and build a house of stone


Ah, Ah, Ah,.......

Killer Instints
2010

In expressing his joy at the chance to produce a Jason D. Williams album, Todd Snider says, "I'd been waiting 15 years on this phone call." The Arkansas piano player retorts, "I'd been waiting 15 years to make this phone call."
Snider had to put on his producer hat right away. After a day of working on the cover songs that Williams had prepared, the session was not working. So the duo started writing on the fly. Williams says, "All of a sudden, our agenda went to hell and we were just creating in there. Todd made me feel like it was ok to reach down and sing something crazy. It was just short of amazing and magical."

Killer Instinct was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN and mixed at the famous Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. Dan Baird, Keith Christopher, Richard Leo Johnson and Randy Cox also joined in on the fun

Enthusiastic, Reckless, Stormy, Rock & Roll in its natural state ... This explains why the Kansas City Star Pronounced Jason D. Williams as "the past and future of rock & roll." The Beacon Journal dubbed him as "The worlds greats piano player." Most importantly this reminds you of why you got into rock & roll in the first place, to get a little wild.

After seeing a live show there will be no doubt why fans and critics alike agree with that summation of the dynamic piano player from Memphis. Jason D. has the same musical innovation and on the edge attitude as Jerry Lee and Elvis.

Jason's' style is difficult to describe. From Classical to Rockabilly to County to Jazz and on to Rock & Roll, Jason D. adapts to each different concert setting he performs.

Television cameras love Jason's energy and style. He has appeared on such shows as MTV's News at Night, MTV The Week in Rock, Pat Sajak Show, LIVE! on ABC, Regis and Kathie Lee Show, VH1, VH1's This is Country, Crook & Chase, Nashville Now, Music City Tonight, Entertainment Tonight, that's just to name a few.

Jason is on the road over 200 days a year playing to crowds in every setting, from clubs to amphitheaters and many corporate sponsored events. Jason D. is unique, talented and full of raw energy. This is one act you have to see and hear to believe.



Product Description
Jason D. Williams has spent a lifetime behind the piano connecting with country and rock 'n' roll greats while creating a persona that's 100% original. That rock 'n' roll history of Memphis looms large in Williams' world. He recorded for Sun Records, the early label home of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and the man who first took Williams on the road, rockabilly legend Sleepy LaBeef. Now, after decades of being celebrated for his take-no-prisoners approach to performing country and rock 'n' roll penned by others, Williams has added a new element to his artistry, songwriting.
Early in 2010, Williams, who recorded for RCA and Sun Records in the 1980s and '90s, was set to return to the recording fold with Todd Snider as his producer. The two had discussed the covers they would tackle and tape had started to roll when they decided to try something different. Snider has become entranced by Williams' ability to create poetry on the spot and thought his words could easily become lyrics. And from several mad, inspired weeks of recording in Nashville and Memphis, TN the 14-track album, Killer Instincts, was born.
Williams tours up to 200 shows per year. Having a visual appeal on par with his musical talent has led to numerous television appearances, among them 'Regis and Kathie Lee.' 'Nashville Now,' 'Entertainment Tonight' and various shows on MTV and VH1. A wild man onstage, he has been compared to Jerry Lee Lewis so often that rumors started in Memphis that he was the Killer's son.
The influence of Lewis comes through in his high-energy performances, Williams says, but his songs get him to a different place. As he says, 'It's Jerry Lee Lewis meets Jackson Pollock and Jerry Lee Lewis meets Joe Namath.'

"The Big O" as Roy Orbison became universally known, was one of the most distinctive singers and songwriters of the Rock 'n' Roll era. Starting his career in the late fifties, he really hit the big time at the start of the sixties when a string of wonderful hit singles brought him fame on a worldwide basis. After a quiet period in the seventies he made a comeback in the eighties both as a solo artist and later as a member of the Traveling Wilburys. This live recording, released now for the first time, comes from a concert at the Front Row Theater in Cleveland on December 4th 1988, just two days before his sudden death from a heart attack on December 6th at the age of only 52. Orbison is in fine form delivering many of his best loved songs in his own unique style and with no indication of the tragedy to come. It is a fitting tribute to a truly great artist.

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I’ve been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that’s the chance - you gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

N'est-ce pas le bonheur ?

Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Pass that bottle to me

Knocking down windows and tearin out doors
Drinkin' half a gallon and callin' for more

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Now down on Rampart street at Willy's Den
He wasn't selling but a little gin
One cat wanted a bottle of wine
He hit that cat for a dollar and a dime

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

BO DIDDLEY, Bo Diddley 1957

ROCK AND ROLL
Bo Diddley
McComb, Mississippi, 1928
Archer, Florida, 2008

El rocker del Mississipi y su famoso ritmo –bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp- no pasó desapercibido para los hombres de Chess Records. El padre prehistórico del rap inventó sus propias guitarras (¡una Gretsch roja rectangular!). Fuzz, distorsión y rock and roll.




Bo Diddley
1987



Go Bo Diddley
1959






Guitarra: GRETSCH G6198 Bo Diddley

For five decades, Bo Diddley has been turning heads with his great chops, incredible showmanship and outrageous guitars. Now it's your turn! The G6138 is a faithful reproduction of the famous rectangle-shaped guitar Gretsch built for Bo back in 1958.

Measuring 17-3/4" x 9-1/4" x 2" and made of alder and 5-ply maple, the eye catching Firebird red semi-hollow body features two FilterTron pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, Gretsch "G" tailpiece, and plenty of gold hardware. The 3-piece rock maple neck has an ebonized rosewood fingerboard with "dot" pearl inlays, a 1957 style headstock, and a special Bo Diddley signature on the truss rod cover.

San José, California

THE SONICS, Here are The Sonics, 1965

GARAJE ROCK
Larry Parypa
The Sonics



Here Are The Sonics.
1965

Tacoma, Washington. Establecieron los puntos básicos del garaje: Los tres acordes simples del rock and roll tocados a toda velocidad y de forma rudimentaria acompañados por un saxofón en llamas y los punteos salvajes de Larry Parypa. Himnos como ‘Strychnine’, ‘Psycho’ o ‘ The Witch’ les convierten en los abuelos del punk.

DICK DALE & THE DEL-TONES.



Surfers´Choice
1962

El ‘Rey de la guitarra Surf’ y el ‘Padre del Heavy Metal’ (Boston, EEUU) impresionó a un jovencísimo Hendrix. Simpre buscó los límites sonoros de la Fender Stratocaster y los amplificadores.

Misirlou es una canción popular griega interpretada por Michalis Patrinos en 1927, y significa algo así como Egipcio. Dick Dale apostó a que podía tocarla a todo meter sobre una sola cuerda , ganó y triunfó.
