THROWBACK THURSDAY: These Are People Who Died



2016 was a terrible bummer of a year in so many ways. If only for the number of great musicians who passed on, this would be one of the cruelest years I can remember.

Here are some songs from my favorites who breathed their last in 2016. Rest in peace all of you

(Caution: It might take a bit for this page to load. Be patient. And hope that none of our favorites croak by the time you reach the end ...)

Long John Hunter
(January 4)



Red Simpson
(January 8)



David Bowie
(January 10)



Blowfly (Clarence Reid)
(January 17)



Dan Hicks.
(Feb. 6)
I guess it was his time to go. But I miss him.



Steve Young
(March 17)



Merle Haggard
(April 6)
Hey, Hag. It was fun.



Prince
(April 21)



Lonnie Mack
(April 21)
Yes, the great Memphis blues/rock guitarist died the same day as Prince. (John Eskow at Counterpunch had some observations about that.) Here's a clip from a 1980s local Cleveland TV show featuring Lonnie playing with host Scott Newell



Billy Paul
(April 24)
Soulman Billy was something of a one-hit wonder. But what a hit!



Candye Kane
(May 6)



Guy Clark
(May 17)



Ralph Stanley
(June 23)



Scotty Moore
(June 28)
He was best known for being Elvis Presley's guitarist in the '50s. This is an Elvis song from a Scotty Moore solo record.



Alan Vega
(July 16)



Buckwheat Zydeco (Stanley Dural, Jr.)
(Sept. 24)



Jean Shepard
(Sept, 25)



Oscar Brand
(September 30)



Bobby Vee
(Oct. 24)
Lord, Mr. Ford, this is one of those crazy Scopitone videos!


Leonard Cohen
(Nov. 7)



Leon Russell
(Nov. 13)



Billy Miller
(Nov. 14)


Mose Allison
(Nov. 15)



Sharon Jones
(Nov. 18)



Keith Emerson (March 11) & Greg Lake (Dec.7)

OK, I'm not a big prog-rock, but losing two thirds of ELP in one year is a big deal. Plus I always loved this song. I saw them do it live on the Brain Salad Surgery tour in the mid '70s and it's still the loudest damned concert I ever saw.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: New Year's Songs from Around the World


Holy Zozobra, Batman! It's traditional New Year scarecrow burning time in Ecuador.

New Year's Eve is only three days away.. And around the world there's a lot more ways to sing about it than "Auld Lang Syne."

Here's a quick spin around the globe to hear a sampling of New Year songs.

Let's start out with a New Year song by a group that might prompt Sting to ask, "Do the Russians love their crappy boy bands too?"



Let's go to Korea for some equally obnoxious but more polished sounds. It's K-Pop group UNIQ's "Happy New Year."



Here's a New Year's Eve drum party in Morocco



And finally, here's one I actually like. It's Mongolian underground rock star and yoga instructor Sunderia and her band playing "The New Year Waltz."

It's a Johnny Dowd Christmas!





There's no Terrell's Sound World tonight, but to make up for it, here are THREE Christmas songs from the unstopable Johnny Dowd!

(Thanks and Merry Xmas to T. Tex Edwards, whose tweet just a few minutes ago inspired this post. Now I'm waiting for the T. Tex Christmas album ...)

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Albums Named for Unappetizing Food

O.K., I'll admit this is a pretty dumb idea.  It came to me yesterday after I ran into my friend Dan during my afternoon walk along the ...
