  1. Desmond Dekker – Honour Your Father and Mother

    and one more from a Peter Tosh’s son Andrew in the great Playing for Change series, Mama Africa

  2. Damn, that’s good!
    I feel like I’ve been posting a lot of country.
    Shooter Jennings – Daddy’s Farm

    I’ve never seen Shooter but I was lucky enough to see Waylon and Jesse once.

      • Feeling really low about this. I mean, he’s lived an amazingly long life, but this is just fucked. Still, he’s tough as an old rattlesnake, so perhaps he’ll pull through.

        • From your keyboard to the ears of whatever deity is running this show.

          • His wife tweeted that they moved his condition from critical to stable, so fingers crossed!

            • Thank you! I’m so happy to hear there’s hope.

              • Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

                – Andy Dufresne

    • I met Shooter once, when he was promoting that album. He also played his father in a brief cameo in Walk The Line.

      • I forgot he was in Walk the Line. Did he seem like a good guy?

        • Yup, pretty easy going based on my brief interaction with him. The client of mine whose radio show he was appearing on was also super personable and could bring out the best in most people.

          • That’s good, if he was an asshole he’d have probably shown it.

  3. George Michael – Father Figure:

    and for the second part:

    Dusty Springfield = Son of a Preacher Man:

    • Dusty is always an excellent choice!

  4. …some sons take after their fathers

    …others maybe less so

    …but all in all it’s hard to tell

  5. Shout out to Joe Diffie (seeing as some of us are playing country tonight) who recently succumbed to covid-19:

  6. So is Baxter an updated or upgraded? I still like Ian better but would honestly like to hear from others. Keitel? Anyone?

    • The Blockheads were part of my youth so of course I’m gonna say Ian. But I think I’m going to listen to some more Baxter.

    • I would say updated. The voice and the singing style on some of the songs are hard to escape. I do like his music on its own merits. His dad was truly one of a kind.
