cnn.com "The Battle of New Orleans" In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip, We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more and they begin a running, On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Ole Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'till we look 'em in the eyes. We held our fire 'til we seen their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em, Well.. [ chorus ] They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go. They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. [ chorus ] We fired our canons 'til the barrel melted down Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. We stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind, And when we shot the fire off the gator lost his mind. [ chorus ] Performed by: Zachary Richard Written by: Jimmy Driftwwod

Happy Birthday to the man who conceived my mare, Roger Mcguin. Today In Music History July 13 On this date in music history in 1942 Roger McGuinn of The Byrds was born in Chicago. Country music singer Louise Mandrell was born in 1954 in Corpus Christi, Texas. She performed with her older sister, Barbara Mandrell and her husband, R.C. Bannon. The Supremes made the studio recording of "Come and See About Me" in 1964. Phillippe Wynne of The Spinners died of a heart attack at the age of 43 in 1984. George Michael sang lead vocals to Elton John's performance of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" at the Live Aid Concert in 1985. Velvel Reissues Crucial Kinks Recordings On July 14, Velvel releases four classic Kinks albums. These titles, Muswell Hillbillies, Everybody's in Showbiz, Preservation Act 1 and Preservation Act 2, represent the launch of an ambitious and important restoration project. These newly remastered editions include previously unreleased bonus tracks as well as expanded artwork, new liner notes and archival photos. "Muswell Hillbillies," Kinks songwriter and singer, Ray Davies says "was a pivotal album for The Kinks. I'm excited to launch the Velvel catalog releases with it, because it rates as one of the most enduring Kinks albums." It was the first of a series of adventurous concept albums that the band would release. The album's title is a twist on the name of the London borough where Ray and Dave Davies grew up. Among the memorable tunes on this disc are "20th Century Man," "Alcohol," "Skin and Bone," plus two previously unreleased songs "Mountain Woman" and "Kentucky Moon." Everybody's in Showbiz contains the touching "Celluloid Heroes." Bonus tracks on this CD are live versions of "Till the End of the Day" and "She Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina," recorded at Carnegie Hall. Preservation Act 1 and Preservation Act 2 were released as separate albums, though they comprise an extended social satire, something the British do best. Davies does it superlatively. Bonus tracks include "One of the Survivors" on Preservation Act 1 with additional vocals by Dave Davies. "Preservation" is included as a bonus track. Despite the title, this track was never included on either original "Preservation Act" album. On Preservation Act 2, bonus tracks "Mirror of Love" and "Slum Kids, " a long-time live favorite round out the set. Velvel Records was established in 1996 by music industry veteran, Walter Yetnikoff, who is best known as the CBS Records chief who helped that label grow. When he left the label in 1990, it was the biggest record company in the world, due in large part to its sale to Sony, a business deal that Yetnikoff helped engineer. Yetnikoff describes Velvel as a label with "the savvy of a major and the soul of an independent." Velvel's holdings include Konk Records (the Kinks' label), The Bottom Line Records Company, EagleRock Records, Fire Records, Gypsy Records, ReelSounds Records and a non-controlling interest in Razor & Tie Entertainment.
