Page 1 Page 2 Page3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 It’s night time in the big city Some Joes The Singers and The Songs Andre Toussaint – Hold ‘Em Joe Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys – Cotton-Eyed Joe “It started out as a folk blues song, but it became a country bluegrass standard, and there was even a techno dance version recorded in the ‘90’s…the 1990’s.” Hank Williams Sr. – No, No Joe The Dixieaires – Joe Louis is a Fightin’ Man “One of those groups that went back and forth between gospel and rhythm and blues.” Joan Baez – Joe Hill “The very talented and ever generous” The Georgia Crackers – Diamond Joe “No matter how you slice it, that’s rock and roll.” Bo Diddley – Ride On Josephine Joe Bataan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bataan – Subway Joe Jerry Lee Lewis – Old Black Joe “Jerry Lee had such a strong left hand that he didn’t need a base player. He could make anything swing.” Blu Lu Parker – Where’s Joe Cisco Houston – Diamond Joe Van Morrison – I’m Tired Joey Boy Other People and Players Places Movies, Books and Other Entertainment Guests Heat James Brown – Cold Sweat (in background over intro) It’s night in the big city “This is Theme Time Radio Hour, and there’s a chill in the air. We’re cold as ice. We’re looking at cold cuts, cold feet, we’re giving you the cold shoulder but we’re not a cold fish. We’re out cold. We’re talking about cold snaps and we’re coming in from the cold.” The Singers and The Songs T-Bone Walker – Cold, Cold Feeling “Here’s the king of Texas blues guitar…got his nickname from his middle name which is Thibeaux. You won’t find that name on those little license plates that you can buy for your bicycle but I hear it was a pretty common name down in the Bayou.” Porter Wagoner – The Cold Hard Facts of Life “A great example of how you can tell a complete short story in a little over two minutes.” Ray Charles & Betty Carter – Baby, It’s Cold Outside John Lennon – Cold Turkey Lightnin’ Slim – Winter Time Blues “Where do you even begin with a record like that, there’s so much right with it! First of all, nobody’s in any hurry, you could just about drive a truck between the beats. You got a girl named Priscilla, barely 16 years old. Lightnin’ Slim employs the Socratic Method, starts asking himself questions half way through the song. Just the perfect record. Nobody makes records like that any more.” Loretta Lynn – When the Tingle Becomes a Chill Big Joe Turner – The Chill Is On Doc Watson & Clarence Ashley – Chilly Winds (Lonesome Road Blues) “It was originally recorded back in the 20’s and many people recorded variations of it. Riley Puckett did it in 1924, Bill Monroe did a version of it. Woody Guthrie turned it around a little bit and got ‘Going Down the Road Feeling Bad.’” Willie Walker – Warm to Cool to Cold Charlie Feathers – Defrost Your Heart The Charmer – Stone Cold Man “In the interests of equal time we’ll let other people discuss politics and we’ll just stick with the music.” Roy Hogsed – So Cold, So Dead, So Soon “He’s one of those guys that you don’t know where to put his records. Are they country boogie? Are they early rockabilly? Are they country and western? That’s why I file everything alphabetically. I don’t separate it by style. That’s why you find Thelonius Monk right next to the Monkees.” The Parliaments – I Can Feel the Ice Melting “George Clinton back when he still wanted to be Curtis Mayfield, before he went off in outer space. I like the outer space stuff too, but Curtis Mayfield, come on!” Tom Waits – Cold Cold Ground Other People and Players Places Record Labels Movies, Books and Other Entertainment Words That Mean Emotionally Cold Other Songs and Albums “This is TTRH and we’re talking about cold. The chill. The cool chill crisp. The frosty frozen icebox. The intense nippy one dog night. The snappy snowy stinging wintery. The icy sleet, and the frosty glare. And I know what I’m talking about. I come from a very cold part of the country. The part of the country I come from is so cold that when you talk to somebody outside the words freeze in mid air and you have to bring em in and thaw em out by the fire so that people can hear what you’re saying. It’s so cold out there that the politicians have their hands in their own pockets.”
