With lovers, buggers, & thieves.
This song still gives me chills, after not hearing it in a while...
Even though the live version is Tori on piano and no band, watching her perform it, it's just as powerful.

I believe the album had been released in Europe at the time of this performance, but not yet in the US.

Probably my favourite Motorhead song, especially relevant this year and contains so much heart-breaking truth.



Bernie Leadon's tribute to his old buddy Gram Parsons shortly after he died. 'My man' I believe was one of their ways of addressing each other. Beautiful steel pedal as ever from Leadon.


Bit of an odd one, remember it for some reason from childhood and it brings back a ton of memories.


This is probably my favourite one. It's so amazing when you think about what it was about, how so many people left Scotland for a better life and have now spread to all four winds and all corners of the globe. Invokes a lot of emotion from me about how life goes on and people come and go.

Always loved the emotion in this Uriah Heep song. (My wife also loves it, even though she's not a Heep fan at all.)

Too many to mention but lately when I discovered thse one, it moved me so much I felt like crying.
This cover imho is even stronger than the orginal one.
Still makes me feel the chiil all along the spine ....
