Calne (Thursday 1st September 2022)

British Gas, Amazon, Radio Times and Iceland (not the country) have all further incurred my wrath today, following Tuesday's blip, but again I am going to spare you the deja vu details.

I took one picture in Calne today, of the Sheep And Lamb sculpture on Sainsbury's storefront, but I now discover that I had blipped it before (in 2017), so I will just say that it was the first project of the Calne Artists Group in 1997, and was made by Calne sculptor Richard Cowdy to commemorate the town's history of being in the wool trade.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Betty James - I'm A Little Mixed Up (1961)
When Ronnie Wood was standing in for Cerys Matthews on The Blues Show a couple of weeks ago he played this rocking track I'd never heard before. It also went down a storm with Cerys herself and she played it again on Monday.
Ronnie Wood had put forward his theory that the singer was actually Etta James under another name, but to me it didn't really sound like her. As he had probably noticed the record was released on the Chess label, for which Etta James recorded, but following strong local sales Chess had licensed the record from a small label called Cee-Jay based in The Bronx NY, where it had been produced by Edward Johnson and Joe Evans, and Betty James was a singer from Baltimore MD who recorded nine singles, some under the pseudonym Nadine Renaye. Sorry, Ronnie. Who played on the record is unknown. None of which takes away from it being a great listen, which later became popular on the Northern Soul scene. It must have been fairly popular at the time as she recorded a sequel called Not Mixed Up Anymore.
