Black Gladiator
Song of the Day: Bo Diddley – Elephant Man You may have noticed, Dear Imaginary Readers, that this has been sort of a Comeback week here at Infinite Jones. We have been featuring artists from the early days of Rock and Roll who attempted to revive their careers or update their sound in order to stay …
Swamp Rocker
Video of the Day: Dale Hawkins – Susie Q Although this is obviously NOT live (the guitar is not even plugged in), it is still valuable historical footage of Dale performing his Swamp Rock Classic Susie Q. And, some of the audience reactions are priceless, too. Enjoy. Bonus: Dale Hawkins – Little Pig We had …
Tyler TX, Too.
Song of the Day: Dale Hawkins – L.A. Memphis Tyler Texas Today we invite you to enjoy this swinging little travelogue from Susie Q singer, Dale Hawkins. It’s off his surprisingly, solid 1969 album of the same name. A Country Funk Classic!
Everly ’69
The Everly Brothers sing a medley of their hits … with David Steinberg? The YouTubes claim this is from a British TV show but, that seems doubtful to us. It is more than likely from The Music Scene a short lived ABC show sometimes hosted by Steinberg, that was at least, actually from 1969. It …

Song of the Day: Dion – Daddy Rollin’ (in Your Arms) Today’s Song of the Day was the B-side to Dion’s big 1968 comeback hit Abraham, Martin and John. It shows a much more raw, experimental direction for Dion that we wish he would have taken as it is one of our favorite things he …
New Dawn, New Day
Song of the Day: Nina Simone – Feeling Good We are feeling good today and it is because of the amazing Nina Simone. Today’s Song of the Day is from Nina’s 1965 album I Put a Spell on You. Strangely enough, Miss Simone does not really sound all that happy for a song song entitled …
Magic of the Melancholy Tear in Your Eye
Song of the SaturDay: Tom Waits – (Lookin’ for) The Heart of Saturday Night Dear Imaginary Readers, we guess we are doing Saturday Songs now. We noticed we have done it kind of unconsciously for the last couple of weeks, so we decided to make it Official. It ‘s just that their are SO MANY …
