" Mad Dogs and Englishmen" - 1970....Real Rock and roll.

I heard a great cover of " The Letter" yesterday.... Then I remembered " Mad Dogs and Englishmen".....A great ALBUM.....Comments ?

  • Not exactly the right  "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".... Try Leon Russell, Joe Cocker, Rita Coolidge etc !

    I bought that album on vinyl about 25 years ago. Here's the live version of "Delta Lady" from it:

  • It was also the name of a movie featuring a rag time group of performers touring with Joe Cocker !  Leon Russell was part of that group, Russell wrote Delta Lady.

  • It also had a great version of "Superstar" by Rita Coolidge......I met her in Vegas ,but she wouldn't drink the drink I fixed for her !

  • " Mad Dogs and Englishmen" was an album and a movie..... Any idea why my question keeps getting edited ? ..  Evidently SOMEONE added the Judy Garland  reference to my question, which threw the whole topic out the window. Then SOMEONE decided to edit the question to read   " The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen"  .

  • We're you responsible for changing / editing my question twice ?  If so, WTH ?

    Yes, I remember Rita Coolidge singing "Superstar" on it. She has a really nice voice. I love her version of the Boz Scaggs ballad "We're All Alone", I like it better than the original.

    Thanks, ALF. As I mentioned elsewhere on this discussion, I understood because I bought that album myself years ago. Lol:)
