Friday Vault Goodie Tunes

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

A few months back a new Waylon album was released from previously unknown recordings that had been discovered , so this is literally one from the vault . Waylon Jennings singing the classic Fleetwood Mac song Songbird. What a special gift to Waylon fans

The songwriter and singer were not fluent in English, so she sang the lyric sheet exactly as written, “godness on a mountain top”. Later covers by other bands changed it to “goddess”

This Australian band made waves with this hit song in 1967. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, kept the song from number one, name the singer.

Written in 1964, this song flew under the radar until a band turned it into a hit with their cover in 1967.

A 1966 garage rock classic. This band signed a record deal in San Antonio. Even if you weren’t born yet, a record player + parents who played everything = fair game. Music doesn’t check birth certificates.

This song was written in 20 minutes of pure rage after hearing how a senator got his son out of the draft for Vietnam.Fortunate Son came out in 1969, during the Vietnam War. John Fogerty wrote it in about 20 minutes after hearing how some wealthy families kept their sons out of the draft. The unfairness made this song possible.
