Music Monday - I'm Jealous - Divinyls

 The Australian rock group, Divinyls is known to most Americans for their 1990 song 'I Touch Myself ' from the groups self-titled 4th album. In  February of 1995 they released Divinyls released the song ' I'm Jealous ' from their 5th album Underworld . It doesn't seem to have been released in America but it charted at number 14 in Australia and remained in the top 50 for 19 weeks. 

 I came across the song on YouTube and liked it. Hope you also enjoy it

Music Monday - Tobacco Road

 Brothers Edgar Winters and Johnny Winters live performance of the song ' Tobacco Road '.  I am thinking it is from their 1970 appearance on Danish television. 

   I have tried to listen to other people's renditions of this song but,by comparison most seem flat. Boring. Lacking. I said most of them. The only other performance of ' Tobacco Road ' that I enjoy is Lou Rawls 1963 rendition. 

  So for a treat, I will put both renditions up and let you decide which one you like the best.
