A little late to the topic, but Doc, you should definitely do A 7's cover of Blue Moon!
I was born in '69 so I missed the rock explosion by a long shot, but when I was 5 years old my aunt gave me a 45 of That's Alright Mama with Blue Moon of Kentucky on the flipside and I was hooked; so much so that about ten years later when all my friends were jamming to AC/DC and REO Speedwagon, I was rocking to Elvis and the Beach Boys (I've always enjoyed being behind 
. Like Chesterton said, "Progress is a comparative of which we have not settled the superlative."... and in my book Sun era Elvis and Brian Wilson deserve the best superlatives.).
I purchased this two years ago when it was issued on audiophile vinyl (and Blue Moon is downright spooky!):
Maybe you could 7's up Milkcow Blues Boogie, too!

I love this as an album title, but it's been done at least twice before by other artists, including grunge-rock legends Tripping Daisy.
Should we go ahead and use it anyway? It's pretty cool, plus I want to record the actual song a capella black vocal quartet style if we have time.
An alternate might be something more trite like Blue Moon, or perhaps Blue Moon Turns To Gold. I like both of those as well because have double meanings. Of course, then we'd need to cut "Blue Moon" too. (Elvis' downright scary version of this song gives me goosebumps -- anyone out there familiar with it?)
I know it's probably uncool to toss around possible album titles with your fans, but only the few...the proud.....the faithful... are here in the first place. This music is for you first, as far as I'm concerned, so who better to ask? At this point, I've already spoiled the mystery by being so open about it all from the git-go, but this project is really about having fun more than anything else. If you're not having fun, what's the point? This was never meant to be 'the next biggest thing since Colossus', which we no longer have any interest in doing. Radioactive Crows was an example of that and look where it got us.
Any other coy and clever album title ideas are welcome at this point. We may not use 'em, but it's fun to think 'em up. Most album titles are so stupid anyway. |
How bout' "Ear Fashion For The Blind?"
fits the bill.
