During the 2020 pandemic CCR front man John Fogerty spent the summer recording some great jams at his home with his two sons, Tyler and Shane and his daughter Kelsey. They were high quality recordings and the videos were filmed by his wife Julie. They released a new video to YouTube every Friday. At the end of it all and by popular demand they put them all on a cd and released it as Fogerty’s Factory, a play on the 1970 CCR album Cosmo’s Factory. Here’s one that fits the Halloween theme. An old CCR tune called Tombstone Shadow.

After watching The Twins WOTT video of American Woman by The Guess Who, I have been revisiting some of their great music. I really liked The Guess Who even after Randy Bachman left and formed BTO. They even recorded a song that kind of fits the theme of Monsters and Music. The didn’t write this one about just any wolfman. They wrote it about “The” Wolfman. The legendary American DJ and host of The Midnight Special, Wolfman Jack. The Wolfman even joined them on the recording. This performance was aired March 29th 1974 and was the debut of their hit, Clap For The Wolfman.

That’s weird, I never noticed it before and I’ve watched this video a lot. You are right JP, once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Here’s a funny video I found a while back. Allie Sherlock is a very talented singer and musician in Ireland that busks on the streets and posts the videos on YouTube. This is a song called Zombie, by the Cranberries. A crazy lady on the street joins her and then takes over. Is it an act? Probably. Is it staged? Probably. I don’t care if it is an act, it is pretty funny and a little disturbing. I wonder if this ever happened to The Twins in their early busking days?.

1973 was a great year, I was 14 and we had some of the greatest music ever. So many great bands on the radio, on records, and on TV shows like The Midnight Special. One of my favorite bands was the Edgar Winter Group. No Halloween list could be complete without their Monster hit Frankenstein. One of the coolest rock instrumentals ever with Edgar showing his talents on Synthesizer, Sax and drums, along with Rick Derringer on guitar, Chuck Ruff on drums and Dan Hartman on bass. This is an absolutely amazing 9 minute studio jam, one of my favorite music videos on YouTube.

To me, the most frightening, meanest, hideous character ever produced by Hollywood was the Wicked Witch of the West in the classic movie The Wizard Of Oz. When I was a kid it was aired on American TV every year around this time. Many scenes I thought were quite scary for children, like the flying monkeys and talking trees, even the munchkins were a little disturbing. But we stayed glued to the TV screen and we always knew Dorothy would triumph in the end. What a fantastic movie and amazing performance by Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West.

Hi Jurgen, I love all the posts. One of the things I am liking about this thread and the other music based forum threads is listening to a lot of songs that I haven’t heard in a long time. I look through a lot of great songs and videos finding ones to post and man, there are so many great ones. I love Touch Too Much and all the Bon Scott records. It’s a shame he died just when they were on the brink of becoming world famous but somehow I couldn’t see Bon as an 80 year old rock star like Paul and Ringo or Mick and Keith. Here’s another Bon Scott AC/DC bloody treat.

Chris,
Yep, These girls are way too cool and too pretty. I would so easily fall victim to them. I would be lured in by their charm and beauty only to feel the brunt of Maxwell’s (Papa Rudi’s) Silver Hammer, Lol. At least I would die a happy man.

David, that’s a good one, I’ve never heard that one. Very funny. when they are actually singing it reminds me of some of the early Rolling Stones pop records. I liked a lot of the novelty records when I was a kid like Surfin’ Bird or Snoopy and The Red Baron. They were fun for the kids and they actually still sound pretty good today. Here’s one of those that should be on every Halloween playlist.

That makes sense. I imagine most artists do something similar, it works in cycles, while you are out supporting your latest album you are working on new ideas for songs. Yeah, probably some pressure by your record company too to start working on a new album as soon as you get off the road. I can see how bands get burnt out after a few years. I always thought, in most cases, a bands best work is their earlier work when they are hungry and trying to make it. After a while they get burned out or complacent and just push out albums to satisfy their contracts. That’s why I like the Wagner’s approach to their whole operation, to be in control of every aspect of their business. I’m sure it is very satisfying to them and it sure produces some great results. They are getting ready to release their 12th album and I believe their music is only getting better. Thanks for your posts Chris.

Jung,
I like that, I don’t remember them at all but I like it. Something I normally wouldn’t listen to but that’s what I like about sharing music in the club, getting exposed to different styles of music and new songs, very cool.

Jung,
That’s a cool video. I don’t remember ever seeing it. Love the music and the video, thanks!!

Hi Jurgen
I like all the posts, thanks. I’m a big AC/DC fan, especially their early stuff with Bon Scott as lead vocalist and lyricist. Here is one that Bon penned that gets right to the heart of this Horror theme. It supposedly inspired the serial killer Richard Ramirez (The Nightstalker) and urged Congress to make warning labels for graphic lyrics mandatory. It’s best to listen to this song at midnight with the lights down low and the door unlocked, if you dare.

Hi Chris
Here’s another great Blue Oyster Cult tune that fits this theme. This live video is well put together. I used to have a live album of theirs but the only song I remember was a cover of The Animals, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. They could really play some good music.
