Enough of the big names - Beatles and Dylan have dominated the podcast for too long! This week we're talkin' bout the Moody Blues and their 1965 album track "And My Baby's Gone" (1:10). A little known slice of (squeaky) blue eyed soul an' R&B - it even has a faint "Bayou via Birmingham" feel because of the Allen Toussaint-esque piano rhythm. And it's the first song we've ever done with a guitar "swole-o" - listen and find out! ... In '66 or '67 (no one really knows), the awesomely-named Bedlam Four brought the song to America and the garage (39:34). The electric piano, guitar stings, FUZZ!, and the "my baby"'s in this one will cause ... bedlam! Blue Feeling added wah-wah to the tune in '68, and it's great (1:02:31)! They change the lyrics and seem to make it meaner ... is the song about ... murder??? Before you know, we'll be gone again!!
