You know how it goes. You're thinking about Zane Grey's Riders of the Purple Sage, so you check out what Wikipedia has to say about it. And then you see that it's been made into a movie several times, so you go over to Netflix to see if they've got anything going on in that department. And they don't, so you go over to Amazon to see if they can help. And they can, but not for free. And some other Purple-ish things turn up, one of which is The Best of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, the cover of which features some pretty tantalizing breasts, so you click on that. And one of the songs there to sample is entitled "I Don't Need No Doctor," which reminds you of the Robert Palmer song, "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)." And then you really want to hear that, so you look and lo and behold, the Robert Palmer studio version doesn't seem to be available, so you end up clicking on a couple of other renditions, and one of them is by some fellow going by the name of Gordon Blue, and it is a weird kind of jazzy swing thing and the voice sounds quite a bit like Ray Charles, and then you go over to his album and it is full of all kinds of good shit: Whole Lotta Love, Smoke On The Water, Still Got The Blues, Speed King, Fire And Rain, Hey Joe, Walking In Memphis, Walk On The Wild Side, Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor). Radar Love, A Whiter Shade Of Pale. Holy shit, that's a spicy meatball! (Try it, you'll like it.)
And good news, you can listen to the album in its entirety on Spotify. Which I'm doing now. Thank you, Spotify.
Oh...here ya go:
