Friday Music

Written by Wayne Carson and first recorded in 1967 this was the Box Tops biggest hit.  It’s been covered by many other artists – most popularly – Joe Cocker’s 1970 iteration.  It ranks as number 372 on Rolling Stone magazines 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, the  Roll Hall of Fame includes it on the list of 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll and it has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.  It’s on my Top Ten list too.  

Hailing from Israel - Ouzo Bazooka represents the pop music scene in Tel Aviv.  Yet there’s something more ethereal in this cover - rock, grunge and garage band - hard to put my finger on it.  Maybe something else….
