This is Mary Clayton's vocal on “Gimme Shelter” stripped completely naked. No music. Just her.
That crack in her voice was not planned. It was real. The Stones kept it.
Portishead - Glory Box
A desperate plea for respect and equality from a woman exhausted with games. A vow, an ultimatum, and the greatest Bond theme there never was.
1994.
Willie Nelson's Tips to Living a Long Life:
1. I try to eat pretty sensible.
2. Sometimes I’ll get up and shave, and sometimes I won’t.
3. Shut up.
4. Smoke every day.
5. Have a good garden full of vegetables and maybe a freezer full of some good meat.
6. Worrying will make you sick. If you can’t do anything about it, why the hell worry about it?
7. I see the funny side first.
8. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be a goddamn asshole.
9. If you’re thinking negative about anything... erase that.
10. Keep your legs crossed, your nose clean, and stay out of trees.
11. We’re all going to die. There’s not a lot we can do about it. If you hear of anything, let me know.

To mark the release of BROWN BOX, a box set of all their studio LP, I wrote a huge column on the career of Ween. Includes reviews of every album, plus live records, some bootlegs, etc. A great place to get started for newbies or to look back for vets!
