@wotterface
So, Johnny Cash's solitary man can only take us in one direction - Rick Rubin. Cash had fallen out of fashion a little until the 1990's and early 2000's when he teamed up with genius producer Rick Rubin and did the so called "American" recordings. These albums allowed him to cover some contemporary tracks in a stripped down way, resulting in some brilliant tracks. Rick Rubin was heavily involved with the popularisation of hip hop and eventually worked with really diverse artists across many genres, allowing us to just pick what we think is a damn good track that he also produced...Audioslave and Cochise. Be warned, it's dirty and loud...

Well done Lexi with "Solitary Man". Whenever Mum thinks about that song, she hears the original version by the composer, Neil Diamond, in her head. She recalls summer days of driving with windows down and singing along with the radio. (They called it 4-70 air conditioning, 4 windows, 70mph.) So, radio station WLS Chicago is the only link for this chain (and silly Mum memories). This is our link "White Rabbit" by the Jefferson Airplane.





@claptonterrier
Last week you had a sing which referenced being solitary…that made me think of the word solitaire….which if course is the name of a card game…..so that set me thinking about songs that reference card games and cards…..so….no, its not going to be Ace of
….but we shall instead have Bob Dylan singing Jack, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts…!! (Ed: had to put in the youtboob version as the vimeo one won't go in.)




@skye613
Lexie won last week with Johnny Cash singing a great cover of a Neil Diamond song. Neil Peart is the primary lyricist for the band Rush, although he did not write " Working Man". Simple linky this week!
