What's The Connection? Horses 3

It's been awhile since I did the first two volumes of this Horse Connection, but finally it's time for volume 3. Mostly Horse in the title, but a few with Pony in the title. A couple of covers and one Thoroughbred song. As usual the genres are all over the map, so enjoy that! Sorry to you horse lovers for the last track.The cover is related to the previous ones, but slightly different. Either way, nice wild horses.

What's The Connection? Horses 2

Okay this is interesting as a connection continuation. Volume two of the horses WTC. But this one, unlike volume 1 which had all songs with Horse in the title (except for one), has no songs with horse in the title (except for one). Rather they are all songs about ponies and saddles. Like volume one, which had one song about a particular type of horse, this volume also has one song about a type of horse. So completely different, and yet quite similar. I just can't help it. Colourbox has such a good Horse song, but it didn't fit on volume one, so I had to figure out how to make it work this time. Someday look up the David Christie song, it's pretty interesting. The guy is worth looking up as well as his other songs, but too long to get into here.

What's The Connection? Horses 1

My daughter liked horses, but I think she liked trucks and big machinery better as a little girl. We would go to farms and look at horses, but she seemed to notice the tractors as much. So I was spared the cost of horseback riding lessons and feeding and caring for a horse. But that did not mean that horses were not in my future as these horse songs will show. All except for the last one in this connection have Horse in the title. Lots of bands have songs about horses. I will show more tomorrow from a different angle. So many of these songs are really good ones that I really enjoy listening to. The KMFDM song I first found as a b-side to another hit, but I loved it. Prefab Sprout is just one of my favorites and who doesn't like Echo & The Bunnymen?
