Providing Musical Distractions for our Sick, Sad World
Video of the Day: The Buckinghams – Mercy, Mercy, Mercy Apparently we have a sort of a Chicago theme going today. (Yeah, but, what’s with the Union Jacks in the background of this video?) Anyway, here’s some classic Pop-Rock from The Buckinghams. Bonus: Mercy, Mercy Mercy was written in 1966 by keyboard player Joe Zawinul …

Song of the Day: Nicholas Tremulis – River of Love C Chicago Legend Nicholas Tremulis and his Orchestra (really more of an R&B Revue style band) provided the Infinite Jones Crew with one of our best New Years Eve’s ever when he played the Cabaret Metro, ringing out either 1988 or ’89.

(i Know) I’m Losing You (Cornelius Grant, Eddie Holland, Brian Holland and Norman Whitfield) The first 3 versions are all produced by Legendary Motown Producer and co-writer of the song, Norman Whitfield. The original Temptations version from their 1967 With a Lot O’ Soul album is pretty damn near perfect. But, that didn’t stop …
Iron City Houserockers – Friday Night The Infinite Jones Archives contain a large collection of Friday Songs. Beginning today, we will post one each Friday until we run out (of good ones). To start things off, this favorite by Pittsburgh’s legendary Iron City Housrockers from their 1981 album Blood on the Bricks. A great …
Heads, Hands & Feet – Country Boy Unjustly ignored (British) Country Rock band featuring the great Albert Lee on Guitar. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
