Happy Birthday Rog

 

Happy Birthday to Roger Harry Daltrey CBE who is 66 today, as for “hope I die before I get old”, well it proves the point that age can be a state of mind as opposed to a state of body.

Here is one of the few songs he wrote that was recorded by The Who

“Here For More” – The Who

“Without Your Love” – Roger Daltrey

Wanda Jackson

Back on the 17th November 2009 (see HERE) I brought you the news that Jack White was producing a new album for the great Wanda Jackson six years after he did likewise for Loretta Lynn.

Although not due until the Autumn two tracks from the album were made available via iTunes, both cover versions one is a cover of the Johnnie Kidd & The Pirates “Shakin’ All Over” which is timeous given the recent sad passing of Mick Green.

The other track is a brave cover of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” to which there were many a lyric change with Wanda stating that she wasn’t going to sing about being in bed with someone. Perhaps it is also not surprising that a 72 year old from Oklahoma (even one who dated Elvis) also didn’t know what “chips and pitta”  or “Stella” were.!!
