There is just something about this song and this woman....

 

[Jani]

She has a nice voice.  I recall being introduced to it in a song she sang with Peter Gabriel.

 

 

 

[Heather Shay]

i get shivers when i hear this sing... thank you for adding it....shiver shiver....

[Jani]

It seems to speak to the humanity in us.  It is haunting.  I think that's why I like it too.

With my hopes rising on HRT this week as I received notice from my doctor and my specialist that I have them focussed on tying up the loose ends to get ... as in the words of the great Jonny Quest.... "Let's get this bucket moving..."

 

 

[Heather Shay]

oh...I found a nice live version with Level 42 -another wonderful underrated band and bass player.

Sweet.... early British hard rock, talented but underappreciated.... Sweet F.A. a mysteriously lyricked guitar gem never released in the U.S..... the guitar and drums are impressive, but the lip-synced video is laughable....

 

powerful quasi-title song, "Sweet F.A.," which, as originally coined, stands for "Fanny Adams," but the modern connotation is "f*** all." Taking off with almost Led Zeppelin-styled riffing, the Sweet forge full steam ahead for more than six minutes on this hard rocking gem. Mick Tucker, certainly one of the best drummers of the era and one who never got his due, shines here.

Dig that Orange amp (have not seen one of those for quite a while !), and those glam jump suits are just over the top.

 

I always liked Ballroom Blitz

[Heather Shay]

my favorite Sweet song - isn't Fox on the Run or Ballroom Blitz, though I like both, my favorite Sweet song is........

(the long version)

They're still around and I recently saw someone (can't remember who) playing one.  Next to Mesa-Boogie, Orange was probably my fav sound.  https://orangeamps.com/artists/

 

Sweet was one of the first bands I remember experimenting with Roland guitar synths.  The popular Sweet songs were all good... used to blow out my car speakers to them playing on the radio.  As usual though, my favs are the more obscure ones.  This one I heard on the radio only once...

I feel liberated today- love this newer power trio lead by a wonderful young lady

 

[Cyndee]

way cool, you know if you close your eyes and listen carefully, it's like channeling Aretha, only she plays guitar,

[Heather Shay]

wow - yea - you're right - 

[Heather Shay]

I love the cigar box guitar. I have a friend who builds them, feels weird playing them though...

[Cyndee]

I saw that guitar in the one song, very cool
