Everyday

Wouldn't you love it if we published every day? Well, we can't do that, but here's Buddy Holly's magical 1957 b-side "Everyday" as compensation (3:35). A concerto for hambone, celesta, and hiccupping hillbilly vocals! A gentle, innocent, and hopeful rock'n'roll hay ride ... it's special! In 1964, surf duo The Rogues had a date with the song in the studio and it's a real rollycoaster ride! (1:09:54). Is this first bubblegum song ever? It has yakety sax and a "Louie Louie" reference, which means it's great.  In 1972, the song really grew up and hit puberty with Bridget St. John's version (1:24:24). Jaunty, breathy, with great guitar licks courtesy of Tim Renwick as well as a great outro.   The last on the calendar is The Raveonette's take from 2005 (2:00:27). An icy Nordic feel joined with BH's American optimism and shades of Suicide and The Jesus and Mary Chain. A hey, a hey, hey!!
