Train - Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise

[a-to-z-music-blog]

I am sorry but the fact that the "blackwater surprise" tag has NO posts in it is not okay. I am not one to push music on others. But I do enjoy showing people some lesser known artists/songs. This is probably the only time I will say the original is better when it comes to a Gaslight Anthem cover. And if you know me that is saying A LOT. Take 3 minutes of your time to check this out you won't be disappointed.

Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Once Upon A Time

     "I remember Marvin Gaye, singin’,

      Let's Get It On...

      Don't play with my love no,

      I remember Marvin Gaye, singin’, Let's Get It On."

Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Comin' Down

Full song lyrics: Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Comin' Down

Just cause the sun is shinin? that don?t mean the rain ain?t comin? on down Just cause the sun is shinin? that don?t mean the rain ain?t comin? on down

Comin? down on my brother as he walks through the fairways of life Comin? down on my sister as she struggles for a woman and a life

Comin? down…

The Gaslight Anthem - "Live At Park Ave."

This is a Record Store Day 2009 exclusive that was purchased at Shake-It Records (my first RSD, the second annual).  Most of the songs on here are some of the slower tempo songs in their earlier catalog along with a cover song (Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise's "Once Upon A Time").  The 10" is a test pressing that follows along with the very primal and low key vibe on the record.  This record definitely enters into fanboy territory.

Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Uncle John  album: Time to Discover (2000)

Your typical Modern Blues Band Hollywood story here: Band listens to Blind Street Performer on street. Blind Street Performer sits in on acoustic set. Band asks Blind Street Performer to be in their Band. Newly Formed Band makes great music.

Full song lyrics: Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise - Uncle John

Who’s gonna stand at the river And watch those angels fall? And who’s gonna stand on the mountain And Lord thinkin’ they’re so tall?

Who’s gonna walk in the shadows For one moment in the light? Who gonna stand up against the wrong When they know it just ain’t right?

And who’s gonna tell Auntie …
