I’ve spent the past two days on somewhat of a Daivd Bowie kick. So tonight, after returning from a night out, all I wanted to do was grab my guitar and play some Bowie. However, everyone is asleep, so I feel it’s best if I shared my love on YANP, rather than out loud.
MP3: David Bowie - Sweet Head
I know it’s probably the most typical choice, but for my money it doesn’t get any better than Hunky Dory- and Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie. “Sweet Head,” a recording from the Ziggy sessions, is Bowie at his most simplistic — but in a good way. Like Marc Bolan putting a little curve to his fastball, or Mott the Hoople sticking to what they do best, Bowie keeps his bluesy glam rock straight-forward and nearly perfect.
