O. V. Wright’s great recording of “You’re Gonna Make Me Cry” is from 1965. If you don’t know his work, check out the album shown in the YouTube video below. He was a great singer backed with great musicians.
The Holmes Brothers, a group of older guys performing in the 1960s style decades later, released a fine cover in 1993.
Just more authoritarian intimidation and voter suppression
Doug Sahm’s “Stoned Faces Don’t Lie” was recorded with his band the Sir Douglas Quintet on The Return of Doug Saldana in 1971. I know it from the Bottle Rockets Songs of Sahm cover album from 2001.
“Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone” was recorded by Charley Pride and was a number one country hit in 1970. I know it from Doug Sahm’s 1973 version.
“No Depression”, a Carter Family song as “No Depression in Heaven”) from 1936, was given the alt-country treatment by Uncle Tupelo in 1990. No Depression became the name of a magazine and applied to alt-country music in general. It was written in hard times and is relevant to the hard times we have now. I am not religious but appreciate the sincerity and passion of the song.
“Ain’t That a Lot of Love” is from 1966 and was originally recorded by one of the song’s authors, Homer Banks.
Jennifer Hudson performed “A Change Is Gonna Come” on the third night of the Democratic Convention (August 19, 2020). Sam Cooke wrote and performed the original version which was released in 1964. The cover I know best was by The Band from 1973.
Maybe it’s not a criminal conspiracy but it’s bad. There’s no reason to think it’s not happening again this year. Putin should be thrilled by how much help he has gotten from Trump. He won’t get it from Biden.
Trump is lying as usual.
Sad!
