Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show


When Lilly Was Queen (Belly Up!)

(Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Ron Haffkine)

Lilly Pearl standin' by the woodstove
Cookin' up a pot of fatback and beans
Aprons made outta Martha White flour sack
Them was the days when Lilly was queen

There's gonna be a family reunion
Down around Little River Park
Lilly got a brand new baby they say
Jesse Brown had to up and run away
It might as well rain 'cause nobody came
Jesse left so fast the baby got no name

Lilly Pearl, what'cha gonna name your baby?
Lilly Pearl, what'cha gonna name your child?
Lilly Pearl, they say he run away and left you crazy
But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile

Lilly Pearl told most folks
She could raise her baby fine without a man
But she cried at the table to her kin folk
Her people cried with her, but did they understand?

Lilly Pearl still standin' by the woodstove
Talkin' to a pot of fatback and beans
Twenty years later, still cookin' a spread
But there's no reunion 'cause the family's mostly dead
They took her baby at the age of 13
Left her livin' in the days when Lilly was queen

Lilly Pearl, did you ever name your baby?
Lilly Pearl, do you ever miss your child?
Lilly Pearl, his daddy run away and left you crazy
But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile

Lilly Pearl, you never gonna know your baby?
Lilly Pearl, they never let you see your child?
Lilly Pearl, they say he run away and left you crazy
But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile

Diana Krall:

Diana Krall: "The Very Best"


The word "chanteuse" may have been coined for Canada's Krall, who has emerged as one of the preeminent jazz voices of our era--mostly by her mastery of a bygone one. On "The Very Best," the singer slinks and sashays through more than a decade's worth of reinvigorated standards.
Live from Studio C: Josh Rouse

Live from Studio C: Josh Rouse


Seventies rock-inspired ladies' man Josh Rouse found a few minutes out of his busy tour schedule to stop by Studio C. He treated us to solo acoustic versions of "Hollywood Bass Player" and "Sweetie" from his latest album, Country Mouse City House.
James Blunt

James Blunt


While some guys try to impress girls with lines like "I didn't know angels flew so low," James Blunt simply sings "you're beautiful." That genius pick-up line scored him supermodel Petra Nemcova and turned him into a rock star overnight. His latest, "All the Lost Souls," continues with the romance.
Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd


Before Pink Floyd became '70s prog-rock heroes, they were Swingin' London's most interesting psychedelic pop group. Newly reissued with a CD of bonus tracks, the Syd Barrett-led "Piper," their debut, still stuns like it did then: as the most darkly grown-up children's lullabies anyone's ever heard.
