Mixed CD's for Kids - 1969 Volume 3

It is a common problem. The music that you like is inappropriate for children and/or your kids hate your music. Likewise, kids music makes you want to puke.

I desperately want to sing some of these songs for you, but audioblogger has been disabled and I don't know how to do audioposts anymore.

So, I will give some facts and lyrics for one of the songs:

Oh Well, by Fleetwood Mac.

I can't help it about the shape I'm in.
I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin.
But don't ask me what I think of you.
I might not give you answers that you want me to.

Oh well...

Now when I talk to God, I knew he'd understand.
He said stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand.
But don't ask me what I think of you.
I might not give you answers that you want me to.

Oh well...

In 1969, Fleetwood Mac was a successful Blues band known for their raucous stage shows. Their albums consistently sold about 300,000 copies and they were known as outstanding musicians. When Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band in 1974, they changed their sound and became one of the best-selling bands ever. Until then, this was the only Fleetwood Mac song that charted.

The single was released in 2 parts. Radio stations usually play the A-side, "Oh Well (part 1)." The B-side is "Oh Well (part 2)," an orchestral piece that sounds completely different. Both parts were written by Peter Green and go together on the album.

The stop and start technique inspired Led Zeppelin to do the same thing on "Black Dog." Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes did a version of this for their 2000 album Live At The Greek.
