About The Third Set
Hey there, all you hip cats and groovy chicks! What’s shakin’ on your side of the street? Welcome to The Third Set—the thirteenth boss platter from Healey St., picking up the beat right where that eleveth record dropped the needle (and yeah, it practically landed right on my toe again!).
We’ve got eight far-out covers straight out of the 1960s vaults, lovingly dedicated to that ultimate live sensation, Monday England—the absolute heaviest cats I used to dig back in the day. But don't you dare change that dial just yet, baby, because we’ve got one more wild platter waiting in the wings to take us on a time-trip back to the fabulous ’50s!
So, flip up the antenna on your transistor, crank that volume knob to ten, and let’s really lay it on us. Dig?
The video art for this album was created in partnership with the amazing Irina Fischer. Dive in and take a closer look at her amazing work—you'll be blown away! Check her out on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i.fischer01/
The album/set begins with:
Girl From The North Country- Bob Dylan released this on his 1963 album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The song asks a traveler to seek out a past love, the song is about a lost relationship in the freezing "north country" of Minnesota. I'm guessing its about Dylan's high school sweetheart Echo Helstrom but I could be wrong. The first time I heard this song was actually on Johnny Cash's variety show (Yes, believe it or not he had a variety show). Later, it appeared on the album Nashville Skyline. I changed the arrangement as I usually do, got rid of the finger-picking added a Piano and changed the harmonica solo (I like to make it my own).
All Day and All of the Night- Definitely want to crank this song up to 11!! Released in 1964 by the The Kinks and written by the band's frontman, Ray Davies, a classic that's a lot of fun to play.
Bus Stop-A 1966 hit by the The Hollies and written by Graham Gouldman (a lot people don't know that he co-founded the band 10cc), I tried to keep this song close to the original but of course I couldn't help myself.
Day Tripper-Wow, when I was listening to this as a kid, I had no idea this song was about LSD. I punked this song out.
Heart Full of Soul- Another Graham Gouldman song released by the Yardbirds in 1965, the original had Jeff Beck playing that riff. I kept the guitar solo pretty close to the original.
On The Road Again- Some people called the original song jug-band folk blues? Written by John Sebastian and released in 1965 by The Lovin' Spoonful, we did this song back in the eighties and everybody thought we were going to do the Willie Nelson song when they saw our setlist. Hilarious.
Wild Thing- Written by Chip Taylor and originally recorded by a band called The Wild Ones in 1965, The Troggs cover version from 1966 is what everybody knows. First time I heard this song it was a Hendrix live version, thats the one that kind of stuck with me, so crank this one up!!
I think of You-Written by Sixto Rodriguez and released in 1971 for his second album, "Coming from Reality". Not from the sixties but a favorite of mine, so why not? No strings just the basic 4 piece band.
