Some records by people called Riley. That's the concept today folks. Its a simple one but then I'm a simple guy.
We start with four American musical styles including rock 'n roll from Billy Joe, some zydeco from Steve and his Playboys and naughty Agnes with her single entendre jumping blues. We follow that up with four reggae Rileys including the father and son team of Jimmy and Tarrus.
Today's post is dedicated to my old friend Steve Riley. He's not the Cajun one - he's no playboy and I doubt whether he would recognise a Mamou if one walked up to him and slapped him in the face - but he's a pretty cool dude in his own right.
"Flying Saucer Rock and Roll" - Billy Lee Riley
"Big Fat Hot Dog" - Agnes Riley
"Church Point Breakdown" - Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys
"All The Pretty Things" - Ashley Riley
"Lead Them" - Desmond Riley
"Walking Proud" - Martin Riley
"Love And Devotion" - Jimmy Riley
"Lion's Paw" - Tarrus Riley
Other musical Rileys are available, some of whom are accompanied by men in extraordinary jackets
Is Riley Walker being saved for the first name post?
ReplyDeleteNo.
DeleteI can't be clearer than that.
Some people are SUCH sticklers for rules.
DeleteNothing to do with rules, I just can't be arsed to do another post.
DeleteMany many years ago I used to have a pair breeks not dissimilar to that jacket
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for the eyes that must have been.
DeleteI have a soft spot for story songs like Jeannie's one. I was on our local PTA but we didn't have anyone like her character coming along!
ReplyDeleteAs for the jacket, I was at our local Highland Games last weekend, and compared with the tartan trews and kilt outfits on display in our Clan Tent, the jacket is positively understated.
I was rather hoping for something from Old Mother Riley - surely Arthur Lucan cut a 78" to cash in on his fame? Sadly, anybody under about 90 won't have a clue what I'm talking about
