Hey everyone! It’s Gus Knorr with tonight’s episode of The Gus Knorr Show. Listen to songs from very early in the career of some great bands, before they reached their peak in fame, as well as some new bands who have just released their first albums.

• Starting with Love Me Do, from the Beatles’ 1963 album, Please Please Me.
• Next, another British Invasion hit, Tell Me, off the Rolling Stones’ self titled debut album from 1964.
• Switching gears a little bit to a new album from Raw Milk, Tired Giant, it’s Connecting Dots.
• 57 years ago, Elvis Presley recorded his first singles at the Sun Studios in Memphis. From these sessions, it’s That’s All Right.
• Next, playing another new album; it’s Rise Ye Sunken Ships by We Are Augustines, Chapel Song.
• Even Bob Dylan had to start somewhere, and he did so with a song from his self-titled debut, Song to Woody.
• Moving right along with a single from another early 60’s band; it’s Surfin’ by The Beach Boys, from their 1962 album Surin’ U.S.A.
• Led Zeppelin, another great band, is next, with Good Times Bad Times, from their 1969 self-titled debut album.
• The Commuters are the third new band of the night, and from their album Rescue, here, appropriately enough, is Rescue.
• When he was only 15, Stevie Wonder released this 1965 hit single, Uptight (Everything’s Alright).
• Two years later, Bill Cosby released an amusing cover/parody of Uptight (Everything’s Alright), entitled Little Old Man. Believe it or not, it charted #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
• Next up, another new band Fruit Bats, with their new album Tripper; it’s Tangie and Ray.
• Switching back to some older music, Marvin Gaye’s first ever single from 1961, Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide.
• Another great singer from the 1960’s, Otis Redding, released his first single, Pain in My Heart, off his first album of the same name, in 1964. In 2011, you can listen to it here on The Gus Knorr Show!
• This week’s Wesley Willis Song of the Week, Steve Albini, by Wesley’s band the Wesley Willis Fiasco. Here’s a link to a song and music video from his solo career about Alanis Morrisette, and here’s a must-see documentary about his early life up to around 1994. It’s a must-see for those who want to know more about him.
• Following that song, it’s Spirit in the Night, from Bruce Springsteen’s very first album from 1973, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
• Our final new song of the night, by Mister Heavenly, off their new album Out of Love, it’s Wise Men.
• Pink Floyd’s first single from 1967, has a different sound than what you might be used to from the band, but it’s still great; it’s Arnold Layne.
• A new feature on The Gus Knorr Show: it’s the A.C. Song of the Week, in honor of their recently deceased frontman, Seth Putnam. Here’s Grindcore is Very Terrifying, from their 1994 album Everyone Should Be Killed.
• Last but not least, it’s U2, with the song I Will Follow, from their 1980 album, Boy.

Thanks everyone for listening, and a link to this episode (so you can listen to it whenever you want, or course) will be posted shortly.
