[00:01:03] Speaker A: Foreign.
[00:01:14] Speaker C: Welcome back to another episode of rock roulette podcast. That's right, the crazy ass podcast. It took over 1, 700 albums. Stuck them in a list, stuck them in a wheel. And every other week we spin the wheel. She picks a record for us and we go through it track by track, talk about the music, the lyrics, the production, the melody and the arrangement and give it scores. Just a bunch of friends who love music, who want to do a podcast and every everyone who takes this trip with us every week of discovery and rediscovery. We really want to thank you. Keep those numbers consistent, spread the word and tell us what you like, what you don't like. Something you'd want to hear. Whatever it is, man, we're here to listen. We are trio again tonight. We have Frank.
[00:01:50] Speaker A: My name is Frank.
And I'm sexy.
[00:02:04] Speaker D: All right. Hello.
[00:02:06] Speaker C: We have Mark. Oh, hi, Mark.
[00:02:08] Speaker E: What's up guys?
[00:02:09] Speaker C: And I'm Sarah. Ciao Buena.
Last week you listened to us. Mark and I had been asking for some classic rock. Frank asked for some funk. Not necessarily funk, but definitely some soul and feel. We got the Almond Brothers second album, Idle Wild South. So far I think we're digging it. There's a lot of feel. Obviously. The guitar playing is great. Musicianship is great. The vocals are great. Great bands. And we had mentioned that we may or may not ever have listened to one of their album Straight Through. Again, very odd. People probably like the is wrong with you guys. Sometimes it just happens, Mark, especially from a guitar player standpoint. You're digging this.
[00:02:44] Speaker E: Yeah, all the guitar playing is great. I think the feel of the album is really good. The production is really good. I'm really enjoying this. It's my first Allman Brothers album that I've listened to. Straight Through. I'm really liking it.
[00:02:54] Speaker C: Frank, you're digging it too?
[00:02:55] Speaker D: Yeah, like Marked is my first album that I'm listening to. I am very surprised how much I'm digging it so far and how blown away I am by the production. It's just the sound holds up to today. It just shows you true Geni.
[00:03:08] Speaker C: Tom Doubt. Great producer. Before we get back to it though, we have our new bet section.
[00:03:14] Speaker E: In a world where new music is.
[00:03:18] Speaker A: Not easy to find, welcome to new bets.
[00:03:32] Speaker E: Okay, here's the new bets wheel.
[00:03:47] Speaker C: Disturbed I will not break don't know this one don't know much from them.
I had the first one and that was it. I don't really know how they've progressed or I know they've been there around. Obviously this is the newer songs. Give them credit for that.
[00:04:01] Speaker E: Yeah. I only hear bad things about their singer for whatever reason.
I don't know why. I don't know what the issue is with him. I know some of their stuff, but not very much.
[00:04:10] Speaker C: Frank, how familiar are you with them?
[00:04:11] Speaker D: Other than that's about all I know.
Like that song right there that sounds like a mating call in the jungle.
[00:04:21] Speaker E: All right, well, here we go. So this is disturbed I will not break.
[00:05:40] Speaker A: Why do I feel like a criminal? What the hell happened to me?
I must have fallen on a dozen times why am I like this? There's no way to hide this from anyone it was anything but typical how it all happened to me Happened to me I can't believe that I could be so blind I am defined now I am reminding of everything I already we know your name I will not break this time I know mentions will never be mine I will not break this time I know Mention still the last scream My time is ticking away Ticking away if I can be the best behind me sickly.
I will not rest.
Why am I acting like an animal? What the hell happened to me?
I've had enough of feeling terrified Now I'm deciding and I won't be hiding from anyone the Jesus will be on physical when it all happened to me it happened to me I even contemplated suicide Though I am haunting I will not be taunted by anyone I already know your game I will not break this time I and vengeance will never mind I will not break this time I know that vengeance will the last be My time is ticking away Ticking away if I can leave the past behind that's been crippling me Signing me.
I will not ra.
I will not.
I will not break I will not break I will not break I will not break I will not break this time I know mentions the last deny I will not break this time I know that vengeance will let me my Time is to get away to get away I will not break this time I know that vengeance will never be mine I will not break this I know mentions will. And I see my diamonds ticking away Ticking away if I can be the best beyond that's been crippling me Signaling me.
I will not rain.
I will not rain.
[00:09:12] Speaker C: I like some of the riffs and some of the melody. I think the production undermines the heaviness of it. I hate to keep harping on that, but. Not a fan of the production at all. Mark.
He gave a little jungle thing there. Mating call.
[00:09:28] Speaker E: It sounds, what I think disturbed. Sounds like the production is a little muddy. I mean, that does hurt it.
[00:09:34] Speaker C: I like the riff.
[00:09:35] Speaker E: Yeah. I don't think they've changed very much as far as their sound goes. Sounds like disturbed, which I guess is the best thing you can say. It's not bad.
[00:09:42] Speaker D: Frank, right there with you guys. It's disturbed. I mean, there's only so much that they could do with their sound. I guess at this point. It's a signature. It's worked for them. They're successful. I do like the song. It's very in your face, what you expect from them. So very consistent, very on brand. I'm digging it.
[00:09:57] Speaker E: If you like it, let us know. If you don't like it, let us know. Let's rubber stamp this.
[00:10:03] Speaker D: In a world where new music is.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: Not easy to find.
Welcome to New Bets.
[00:10:21] Speaker E: Okay, and let's continue with the Allman Brothers. This is a cover. This is Hoochie Coochie man by Willie Dixon. There's been changes to this song. It's been recorded by lots of people, but I'm curious to see what their version is. All right, here we go. Hoochie coochie man it.
[00:11:27] Speaker F: Be a bad one now.
Make all you little girls turn your heads around.
Then I'm going to take you little girls I'm going take you right on down.
On the seventh hour of the seventh day on the seventh month Seven doctors they say I've got lots of good luck. You know they all love me but now if you. If you're looking for trouble, babe? You better not fail for me?
Cause you know I get you one by one.
[00:12:40] Speaker C: This is great. I'm willing to say this could be the best cover. I don't know how many covers I've heard. This is great.
[00:12:46] Speaker E: Yeah. They throw their signature Allman Brothers sound into this. It's not just the exact same thing that everyone else is doing. The drums are redeemed, ridonkulous. It's really awesome.
[00:12:57] Speaker C: Great musicianship all around.
[00:12:59] Speaker E: Yeah, it's really awesome. They put the sound that you hear from the Allman Brothers and songs that they do at this tempo right into this and sounds great.
[00:13:05] Speaker D: I don't know how many versions of the song that I've heard.
I like it. I just don't like it. I don't like it as much as the other songs that we've heard up to this point. The musicianship is great, but I just not digging the song as I dug the other ones.
[00:13:17] Speaker E: All righty, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:13:25] Speaker A: Sam.
Great.
[00:14:07] Speaker C: Not the great part. And obviously no disrespect to Muddy Waters that his version, but this is obviously a great version.
[00:14:13] Speaker E: Yeah, I think it's good. It's not the typical version. You could have done this a lot slower the way a lot of the covers are. I just like that they infused themselves into this. I think it's great. The guitar solo is really good. The drums are just everywhere.
[00:14:25] Speaker C: Yeah, it's so full sounding. The production is really good on this one.
[00:14:29] Speaker E: This is Barry Oakley singing. He doing a great job. All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:14:38] Speaker F: We got a black cap on. We're going to slip it to you and move over people just as fast as you can. That I know you're waiting for me Cuz I'm the man I'm going to get you one by one.
Like I said, I'm that old and I'm your.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: Sam.
[00:15:53] Speaker F: Now the gypsy woman told mama oh wow. Before I was born she said, you know he's coming mama and he'll be a bad, very bad woman.
Make all the ladies turn their heads around you said I I could just see all those women chasing him on down, way down, down.
[00:16:39] Speaker C: Just a great standalone song cover or.
[00:16:41] Speaker E: Not more is there to say then it's just awesome.
Okay, next song is Please call home.
[00:17:05] Speaker F: Take one last look before you leave.
Cause oh somehow it means so much to me and if you ever need me you know where I'll be So please come home if you change your mind it oh I don't mind.
I guess I saw it coming day.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: By day.
[00:17:50] Speaker F: But oh I could not stand the failure.
Before you leave there's just one thing I must say Please go home if you change your mind.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:18:15] Speaker F: That old man.
[00:18:20] Speaker C: I'm digging this too. I just love. There's so much emotion in the music and his voice. They take you on this soulful trip. My eyes are closed listening to this and just drifting away.
[00:18:31] Speaker E: It sounds a Little like Melissa. There's that vibe. It's not obvious as slow as that. It's just great. It's a bummer that I've never heard this song up until right now. We say that all the time. Where is this song? My whole life. It's such a great song.
[00:18:44] Speaker C: Discovery and rediscovery.
[00:18:46] Speaker D: Mark, I'm going to say, where's this album been my whole life? I definitely heard one song, maybe two. But, man, what a great album. Definitely going to sit back and listen to this again. To have, like you say, you just close your eyes. It's storytelling at its best. Just love it.
[00:19:00] Speaker E: It's awesome. Verse one, take one last look before you leave because oh, somehow it means so much to me if you ever need me you know where I'll be so please call home if you change your mind oh, I don't mind verse 2 I guess I saw it coming day by day but oh, I could not stand the failure before you leave there's just one thing I must say please call home if you change your mind oh, I don't mind yeah it's just so soulful. His voice has so much soul in it, especially on songs this. It highlights his voice so well.
[00:19:30] Speaker C: Yep. So much feel.
[00:19:31] Speaker E: Yep. All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:19:35] Speaker F: And I know you're used to running oh, you lost, baby and I ain't funny but oh when you call to me I'll come running.
[00:19:56] Speaker A: Straight to your side.
[00:20:00] Speaker F: Again I'll confine in you.
So go on I won't say no.
[00:20:16] Speaker A: More.
[00:20:20] Speaker F: My heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door but just remember what I said before please come home if you change your mind please go home you change your man Found it.
Call home if you change your mind.
Call home if you change your mind.
Let's call.
[00:21:15] Speaker A: It it.
[00:22:01] Speaker C: Quick but better fade. I love how the guitar. Little solo notes throughout the whole song. And it's not too much. It fits. And you love hearing what they do and whatever they're going to do next. Just helps to fill out the song so much.
[00:22:14] Speaker E: I do like the guitar weaving in and out of the whole song. There's no need for a solo because the whole song is a solo almost.
It's really awesome. I enjoyed this a lot.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: It's been a bad song yet it's.
[00:22:25] Speaker E: A great album so far. Okay. Bridges and I know you're used to running oh, you're lost, baby and I ain't funning but oh, when you call to me well, I'll Come running safe to your side again I'll confide in you Verse three. So go on I won't say no more My heart ain't in it But I'll hold the door But I just remember what I said before Please call home if you change your mind Please call home if you change your mind all the way on the outro. It's really awesome. Sam, why don't you go first?
[00:22:49] Speaker C: I'll do sevens across. I like this one. I like them all so far. Pretty much.
No complaints.
[00:22:55] Speaker E: There's only one way to rock, and it's Quinniple seven. Nikki titty Baby Frank.
[00:22:59] Speaker D: I'm going to go one up. I'm going to go eights across. Man, what a great song. You can legit. Just picture myself just sitting somewhere, like in a Chicago diving navy blues bar, them performing this and just enjoying it. Oh, man, what a great scene.
[00:23:13] Speaker E: Eights across for me, I'm gonna do the same thing. Eights across.
[00:23:15] Speaker A: Quintuple ocho.
[00:23:17] Speaker E: I don't really have much more to say. I think it's just a great, great song. The album's been awesome so far, and unfortunately, we're at the end of the album.
[00:23:25] Speaker D: Oh, wow.
[00:23:26] Speaker C: So fast. Really. This is it.
[00:23:28] Speaker E: Second side is only three songs and the last song is Leave my blues at home.
[00:24:01] Speaker F: Outside but living alone is easy but too long just don't seem really quite the thing that, you know Think I'll drink up a little more wine to ease my worry mind and walk down on the street and leave my blues at home.
The landlord is on my line I can't get no peace of mind But I know there's something better.
[00:24:42] Speaker A: I can't.
[00:24:42] Speaker F: Stay and I can't run can't keep waiting for someone to find me gold well, I'll gather up on my phone and float.
[00:25:07] Speaker C: Pretty sure he could sing about toilet paper and make you feel emotion.
[00:25:11] Speaker E: This is true.
[00:25:12] Speaker C: That voice is just. It's so emotional. And the bass line in this song is ridiculous. It's so good. I mean, it's good. Overall. Everything is good. I'm digging this one too. Too.
[00:25:21] Speaker E: Yeah. This is crazy. I think Frank got a little bit of his funk that he wanted in a blues kind of way.
[00:25:27] Speaker D: Oh, heck, yeah.
[00:25:27] Speaker E: The wheel decided. Oh, I'm not going to give you all funk. Here's just one song. Have a good time.
You may not get any more. Yeah, his voice is great. He can sing anything. He can sing the phone book, as they say, and it'd still be awesome. They use this weird structure where they do a verse and they just throw the line of the song at the end they do two of those. Then they go into another bridge. So they've done that two songs in a row now. I kind of like it.
[00:25:50] Speaker C: They're very good arrangements.
[00:25:51] Speaker E: Verse 1. I've been trapped inside four walls feel like I can't call to no one away out on the outside but living alone is easy but too long don't seem really quite the thing to do no I'll drink up a little more wine to ease my worried mind and walk down the street and leave my blues at home alright. Verse 2 the landlord is on my line I can't get no peace of mind But I know there's something better I can't stay, I can't run can't keep waiting for someone to go find and go roll well I'll gather up all our four leaf clovers don't leave I'm on my way over Walk down the street and leave my blues at home alright. And all the so seem to have a storytelling aspect to them, which I like too. Yeah. This is awesome. It's unfortunate this is the end of the album.
Yeah. I could have used two more songs, actually.
All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:27:52] Speaker C: I wasn't expecting him to come singing there. I like that breakdown. Obviously, like any type of drum, percussion. Breakdown is great. Great. What more can you say?
[00:27:59] Speaker E: I like the call and response that the two guitars are doing in the solo. I think that's awesome. They use their dual guitar very well. They weave within and out of each other and it feels so effortless. It's just really awesome to listen to. That's when having two guitar players works. Sometimes it doesn't work as well as that in this case. One guy knows what the other guy's gon to do and they know exactly how to weave and go in between each other and make it work. It's awesome.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: The space that they give each other, what they come in with. It's not about one competing with the other. It's just symphony.
[00:28:27] Speaker E: It's awesome. Okay, so bridges and I feel I have to scream whenever I get the notion. And though I try so hard I can't hold back my emotions But I love you but I can't have you. You won't sit by my side oh, don't fight. And the guitar solo. And now let's play it out. Here we go.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: It don't work.
[00:28:51] Speaker F: The man don't pay you There ain't no saint to come and save you love when you're tore down.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Well, if.
[00:29:01] Speaker F: You ride, you pay the fair But Satan on your back and he don't care where you come from or where.
[00:29:07] Speaker A: You'Re going.
[00:29:09] Speaker F: And before I get myself.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: All down I jump up kid the.
[00:29:13] Speaker F: Door now and walk down on the street and leave my blues at home all right, I'm going to leave it home Ain't going to take it no longer no.
[00:29:41] Speaker A: Ram.
[00:30:17] Speaker C: That fade wasn't too bad either. A little quick. That first one we talked about was the worst. That one wasn't bad. Great way to end the album. I could have stretched out a little bit more.
[00:30:24] Speaker E: Yeah, it was super awesome. I liked it a lot. You read the third verse and the outro and then we can vote verse 3. You don't work, the man don't pay you There ain't no saint to come and save you or putting your toll down well, if you ride, you pay the fair With Satan on your back and he don't care you come from or where you're going and before I get myself all down I jump up and kick the door down and walk down the street and leave my blues at home all right, and the outro is, I'm going to leave it at home I ain't going to take no longer no, I play that thing. Play your blues.
And then a cool outro. And this is where we're ending. It's a bummer, man. I need some more.
[00:30:58] Speaker C: Nobody leaves this podcast without playing the blues.
[00:31:00] Speaker E: That's right. Frank, play your review.
[00:31:02] Speaker D: This one, we're going to give sevens across. I mean, they ended the song really well. Again, the production's been so good throughout the whole album. I really enjoyed the bass. Bass, that's what stood out the most to me. The guitar playing was great, but I enjoyed the bass the most. Sevens, for me, it's groovy, man.
[00:31:16] Speaker E: It's quintuple.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: Seven.
[00:31:18] Speaker D: Nikki titty baby sad.
[00:31:19] Speaker C: I was gonna do seven, too, but then the more went on, the more I really appreciated what was going on. I'll say seven on the lyrics and eight on everything else. Mark.
[00:31:27] Speaker E: Yeah, I think I'm gonna do the same exact thing. I think it's just a great song, an awesome way to end the hour. Unfortunately, it has to end. Not much we can do about that. We finally got an Allman Brothers record. Now I want to hear more and hopefully we get more coming up on the Wheel, because that would be great to know do.
[00:31:42] Speaker C: I'm sure we won't be disappointed.
[00:31:44] Speaker E: No, no, no, no, no. If it comes up again, I'm sure we'll be happy. It's funny, I know one song here. I don't know any of the other stuff, obviously, except Poochie Coochie man, which is a cover. But all the stuff is great. It's one of those records you go, crap. I missed out on this all this time because I never really sat down to listen to their albums all the way through.
[00:32:00] Speaker C: They did not disappoint. I had a feeling they wouldn't and they did not.
[00:32:03] Speaker E: No. All right, Sav, why don't you do your thing?
[00:32:06] Speaker C: We are part of the Deep Dive Podcast Network and the Boneless Podcast Network.
[00:32:10] Speaker E: Boneless, you know, like those chicken wings without the bone.
[00:32:13] Speaker C: Like I always say. Great bunch of guys took us in right away. You want individual podcasts about bands. Judas Priest, Rush, Metallica, Zeppelin, you name it, it's probably on there. So check them out. And mark, where can they find this?
