by Sara Gatewood December 14, 2013

  12 (or 13) Days of Christmas, Part One. “It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunk tank, An old man said to me, won’t see another one. And then he sang a song,The Rare Old Mountain Dew, I turned my face away, And dreamed about you.” **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

Small Faces: Song of a Baker (1968)

by Sara Gatewood December 6, 2013

There’s a reason guitarist Steve Marriott is standing in the front. There’s a reason you might want to stand back. His guitar wants to kill you. Were the Small Faces underrated? Not by me. By “the people?” I don’t know, do you like them? Do you think Ronnie Lane is one of the finest songwriters […]

by Sara Gatewood November 6, 2013

I thought it couldn’t be touched either, til I heard this…   **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

Mouth and MacNeal-How Do You Do?

by Sara Gatewood November 4, 2013

I’m not sure whether to say “I’m sorry,” or “You’re Welcome.” Mostly, I’m sorry. There is no doubt you will wake sometime in the middle of the night with this song and imagery in your head. And every night after.   **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

O’Jays-Emotionally Yours

by Sara Gatewood October 9, 2013

Not Bob Dylan’s most memorable songwriting moment, but a song certainly redeemed by the ineffable O’Jays…You gotta watch the whole thing. Trust me. From the Dylan 30th Anniversary concert, worth watching in its entirety. Oh, and I have it on VHS (1993), if you need to borrow. I do not, however, own one of those […]

Sir Douglas Quintet-At the Crossroads

by Sara Gatewood September 28, 2013

Mr. Doug Sahm. A song not just for Texans, and the only time the line, “…and it sure does wig me out…” is acceptable. Enjoy.   **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

Hank Snow-Now and Then, There’s a Fool Such as I

by Sara Gatewood September 23, 2013

“Pardon me, if I’m sentimental, when we say goodbye…” More proof that looks can be deceiving. His voice and his body just don’t seem to match. Oh, and Hank Snow recorded 140 albums. Did you hear me? 140 albums. This song reminds us (or me, at least,) of our undeniable ability to love and hate […]

Compulsive Gamblers-Sour and Vicious Man

by Sara Gatewood September 21, 2013

“At midnight I’m back in my room, which serves as a drunkard’s tomb…” Memphis’s Compulsive Gamblers (1995). Also check out Reigning Sound, the Oblivians, and the Tennessee Tearjerkers, if you know what’s good for you. The incomparable Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber. **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

Townes Van Zandt – Waitin’ Around To Die

by Sara Gatewood September 14, 2013

From the documentary “Heartworn Highways.” Uncle Seymour Washington provides the feelings, in case you don’t have any. Townes says this is the first song he ever wrote. Incredible, at minimum.   **You should like Shea Magazine on Facebook Here!

Kinks- This Time Tomorrow

by Sara Gatewood September 7, 2013

Well, if you really want to know, this time tomorrow, I will probably be in my house listening to the Kinks. Ray and Dave Davies seem to think there’s a possibility that I could be on a “spaceship somewhere,” which I guess is not entirely out of the question…   **You should like Shea Magazine […]

Dwight Twilley-Lookin’ for the Magic

by Sara Gatewood September 2, 2013

This has been one of my favorite songs for a very long time. I haven’t yet seen “You’re Next,” but I hear it is now associated with murder. I guess if that’s what it takes for people to hear Dwight, that’s what it takes. Anyway, it’s one of the catchiest songs this side of imminent […]
