Jack Brass Band Rocks (Did I Hear A Beatle?)

Date: Tuesday, August 1, 2006 - 8:00pm
Keywords: Jack Brass Band, The Beatles, The Band, James Brown, independent music

I was listening to Jack Brass Band's Happy Hour album for the first time in a while (since it was never ripped for some reason and I just ripped it today) when I noticed part way through the third track, Smoke That Fire, the Beatles! They wove in Carry That Weight into it really nicely. (There's more information on Carry That Weight available.) And now re-reading the album information on CD Baby, it notes that The Chicken is a James Brown song. Which is awesome because I love James Brown but never knew that song was his. It gets better yet, they end Friends & Strangers with a few rounds of the chorus of Hey Jude instrumentally. The different brass voices work really well.

Oh, and CD Baby is good people, go buy some albums.

(Since I normally keep my music collection sorted by artist, right after Jack Brass Band is James Brown. Though I'm sure I'll find some other artist eventually to fit in the middle.)

Not only did I spend $80 last week on some used CDs, I read this morning that CDBaby is having a $5 sale. I would up getting 17 CDs (one was not on sale) for less then $100 shipped. And, the RIAA gets nothing!
