We're taking a second* kick at the ol' garage chestnut "I Can Only Give You Everything" (see episode 110 for our previous gabfest). We start with Them again to examine the RIFF and the rest. We quickly move on to The Ambertones and their version will make you carsick, so take some Gravol before this rough ride. If you like it, do the lurch! She'll be right by the next version, a swingin' rendition by Australia's Clefs. They're in the kangaroo pocket! Chicago's Little Boy Blues are up next and they have a cool, thin fuzztone and a foppier vocal delivery. We wind up with the weirdest version - by Texas's Iguanas. The vocals call to mind Frankenstein's assistant, Igor and the overall sound is super spacey, with some surprising electric jug! Just as you wanted, a little bit of this, a little bit of that - everything! *third, actually - we recorded an episode in 2020 which we deleted

I Can Only Give You Everything

The usual format is this: we pick a song from the 1950s or 1960s (genres range from garage, R&amp;B, Girl Groups, Motown and Doo-Wop), and discuss three versions of that song, or sometimes we just play a song we haven’t heard before and react to it. We’ve covered classics like “Little Bit o’ Soul” and “Psychotic Reaction” to rarities like “Jump and Dance” by the Carnaby, and “Ringo I Love You” by Bonnie Jo Mason (aka Cher). Our aim is to discuss what makes these songs interesting, ineffable, or even intolerable. We place special emphasis on the “moments” in these songs where, perhaps, a new interpretation will emerge from. A close look at song structure is also present in our discussions. If that sounds academic, maybe it is a little bit, but we like to keep the analysis in the spirit of the songs we speak of – which means we drink some spirits (for Erik, it’s bourbon, for Weldon, it’s Stambecco) – and that means by the third song, things can get a little wild. Basically, we talk about rock!
