WACKY WEDNESDAY: Feel Like You've Been Buried Alive?


After nearly two months of COVID quarantine, I've heard (mainly read on social media) several people complaining that they feel like they've been "buried alive" by social distancing. A little overdramatic, but who am I to judge?

But that feeling of being "buried alive" is one that many a popular music composer has expressed through the past few decades. In fact, it's become one of the most overused metaphors in American music.

But again, who am I to judge?

Below is a small sampling of songs called "Buried Alive," some pretty cool, some pretty wretched. Don't whine if I left out your favorite. Start your own blog!

The first "Buried Alive" song I ever was aware of, an instrumental called "Buried Alive in the Blues" on Janis Joplin's posthumous album Pearl. (This also became the title of a biography of Janis by her sister Laura Joplin.)



If you look through YouTube, Spotify or the AllMusic Guide you'll see the title "Buried Alive" has mainly been used by metal bands. Here's a version by Black Sabbath. It originally appeared on their Dehumanizer album in 1992.



The band Avenged Sevenfold (a "Southern California metal combo that began by freely incorporating emo and post-hardcore, but later developed a classic hard rock feel" according to AllMusic) also recorded a happy little tune called "Buried Alive" in 2010.



Speaking of classic rock, Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones did this "Buried Alive" on his 1979 solo album Gimme Some Neck.



Billy Idol apparently thought it was a nice day for being buried alive.



Originally performed on a Drake album, hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar also told of being buried alive.



The Dropkick Murphys took the concept to Celt rock.



And Pierced Arrows, the band Fred & Toody Cole formed after Dead Moon, gave the concept a good Fred & Toody treatment.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Songs That The Wheel Taught Us


Ray Benson with Asleep at the Wheel at the
2010 Thirsty Ear Festival, Eaves Ranch, NM

About the same time that the world found out that John Prine had caught COVID-19, there was news that Ray Benson -- supreme commander and president for life of the venerable western-swing revival band Asleep at the Wheel also had contracted the disease.

But unlike Prine, Benson, 69, survived it. And, during this cruel time, that made me happy.

So in celebration here's a salute to long tall Ray and some of the songs the Wheel has helped keep alive.

First here's "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," a Louis Jordan song that appeared on Asleep at the Wheel's self-titled 1974 album.



The first Wheel album I ever owned was Texas Gold (1975). One of my favorite songs on that was "Let Me Go Home, Whiskey," written by a bluesman named John "Shifty" Henry and a hit for Amos Milburn in the 1950s.



Also on Texas Gold sung by original Wheelster Chris O'Connell, was this soulful ballad, which was written and originally recorded by Tousaint McCall.



In 1987, Asleep at the Wheel had a hit with this song, originally recorded in the mid 1940s by Freddie Slack with the incomparable Ella Mae Morse on vocals


But most of all, Asleep at the Wheel has always been known as among the finest contemporary interpreters of Bob Wills. They've actually recorded not one, not two, but THREE tribute albums to the King of Western Swing and routinely include Wills covers on their records. This collaboration with the traitorous Dixie Chicks from 1999's Ride with Bob is one of my favorites.






Stay well, Mr. Benson and keep that Wheel rolling!
