Diggsville World Tour Top 10

1. "Ramblin' Man"- Hank Williams.

"I love you baby, but you've gotto understand,
When God made me, he made a ramblin' man"

Possibly the theme song to the world tour? The C-Man put me onto it. I've been on the road and essentially homeless for over 2 months now. It's either time to set up camp, or to keep on ramblin'!

"When that open road starts to calling me,
There's something over hill that I gotto see"

2. "Laughing In Rhythm"- Slim and Slam.

Gift from dogpossum.Slim and Slam, original rap pranksters from the 30's! Using their laughter as vocal instruments. Cheeky, foolish and SWINGS! Makes you dance with a big dumb-arse grin on your face. (and how else should you dance?)

3. "Kool Kieth Housing Things"- Ultramagnetic MC's

Old skool. Kool Kieth. Lyrical rap over funky arse beats and samples.

4. "Black Lung"- 16 Horsepower

Another gift from Big Daddy Read. Banjo's, fiddle and yee-haa served up on a rock platter.
"Save your breath for breathing, I'm talking from black lung"

5. "Come On Baby"- Jimmy Smith

Slow, gooey, blues grooves. Melts you into your partners arms in a sexy blob.
The Hammond leads. Then sax. Wraps up with a playful call-response between organ, sax and guitar.

6. "Jordan For President"- Louis Jordan

Louis Jordan selling his candancey for Prez in 1953 (?)

"If you want an administration that'll groove you,
That'll move you, that'll keep you in sin,"

He comes in ".. on the swing ticket"

Perhaps The US of A politicians should have a look at his policies.

"If you want to walk on the sunny side of the street,
with a candidate with a beat,

Jordan for president!"

7. " Little Bob"- Black Grape
Gives me chills and makes me jump around! (could be from a party flashback)

8. "Farewell Transmission"- Songs Odia

Good road trip/farewell song.

9. "Only Shallow"- My Bloody Valintine

Been looking for this album (Loveless) for YEARS and i just found it THEN, an hr ago,in a record store in Edinburgh. £5!!

10. "Whiskey In The Jar"- The Pogues & The Dubliners

Trying not to get too sentimental, but jigging to this song with Douglas while C-man banged his pint glass on the table and sang along at The Dublin was a truly memorable night!! One of the best!
