Set Back and take a trip back in time to enjoy the live music from the Gary Graham Show. This long lost Album turned up on eBay. Gary was shocked to find it and brought it home. The Album was in a very played condition but Gary sent it to an A&R specialist who was able to remaster the tracks into high quality, digital recordings. Now you can listen to some of the songs that made history and Gary's audience pleasing way of delivering them on this Live Album from the Margate Resort.
Opening Show Performance! This electrifying Medley of great songs from the 1960's will have you standing up and clapping; maybe even singing along. "It's OK... Enjoy." As time permits the remaining five shows on this Live album will be posted for your listening enjoyment!
From some of my favorite writers of that era, thanks to Jimmy Webb and O.C. Smith for Gentle on My Mind and Little Green Apples.
Over the Hill is one of our originals that got a lot of play and was a lot of fun. It don't get any better than a pretty girl, fried chicken and homemade pie.
Proud Mary, a song that's been done a million times. And in the late '60's there was a requirement by some clubs that a band had to be able to play "Joy to the World", "Knock on Wood" and of course "Proud Mary." Those songs are actually played more than the National Anthem.
I always loved Johnny Cash because what you saw was what you got. No tricks, no echo chambers, just John is what inspired me to do this Johnny Cash medley with some humor. And as a child at a rodeo I saw Hank Snow perform the song "Movin On" and decided to add a little energy, oops, I meant a lot of energy. There's just some things you never forget.
Polk Salad Annie. Raised in the country in rural Missouri I became very aware of turnip greens, polk salad and all kinds of greens. I remember if you didn't like the taste grandma would add bacon grease and a little vinegar. Tony Joe White originally wrote and recorded Polk Salad and that made all the kids marvel. And if you really think about it, if it wasn't prepared right it could actually kill you. MERCY! Followed by Me and You and a dog named Boo. You always had to do one for the hippies of that time.
Daddy Sang Bass was my favorite song and still is on this album. You can't be from the country and not like a little gospel. Followed by a medley of singalong songs that is a lot of fun. Cotton Fields, This Land, etc.
