After the tragic death of James Ransone this week, talk turned to The Wire and how good it was...in turn recalling the role of Steve Earle in Season 2 and his fantastic version of the theme tune. Better known for his 1988 classic...
Bonus track - the end of season two used another track of his "I Feel Alright" and summed up the best of the best from that show. If you never watched it you'll never know what you missed.
PJ Proby 'Somewhere'. There is currently a TV advert using a version of this song, one of those ultra-slow versions by a girl who sounds like she has a mouth full of marbles. You can't beat PJ though for high drama and tension.
PJ Proby's story is interesting, full of highs and lows, wealth and destitution, alcoholism and mental illness, success and failure etc.
