The “bird” theme continues on this week’s Podcast with songs about “Chickens”. These songs are about chickens as birds, as food and also the dance. You’ll hear groovy tunes by Cab Calloway, Amos Milburn, Lighnin’ Slim and The Rolling Stones.

This week’s Cat Fight is between Howlin’ Wolf and Sam Cooke over the classic blues tune, “The (Little) Red Rooster”. Dig on the show and then vote for your favorite version below.

We like Birdland…

BIRD SONGS

Birdland Jazz Club, NYC 1950s

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight is truly for the birds! I’m featuring a full hour of songs about “birds”. You’ll hear classic tunes from Les Paul & Mary Ford, The Beatles, Ersel Hickey, Leonard Cohen and many more. However, there will be NO songs about chickens or songs that refer to airplanes as “birds”.

Vote for your favorite version of “We Like Birdland” as Huey Smith battles Chubby Checker on this week’s “world famous” Cat Fight!

B. B. King

Happy 84th Birthday!

Matt The Cat With The King Of The Blues

B.B. King just celebrated his 84th birthday on Wednesday, September 16th and this week I’m honoring “The King Of The Blues” with a full podcast featuring his music. I’m focusing on his entire career to demonstrate the various “periods” that B. B. has been through musically. From his strong beginnings right out of the gate on RPM Records in the early 1950s to his incredible live performance at Chicago’s Regal Theater. His huge pop crossover breakthrough in 1970 to his duets with U2 and Eric Clapton. I will also feature his most recent work, “One Kind Favor”, which came out in 2008.

This week’s Cat Fight is between the birthday boy and Howard Tate. Listen to both versions of “Ain’t Nobody Home” before you voice your choice and vote for your favorite.

Here’s to the legendary B. B. King rolling on strong for many more years to come!
