happy tunesday -- coronavirus edition! ("you shouldn't call the doctor if you can't afford the bills" by dr. feelgood)


As the pandemic continues apace, I continue to post songs with medical themes.

Dr. Feelgood is one of my favorite bands of all time. This is from their second album, 1975's Malpractice. It was the group's only album to be released in the US. It featured the original lineup -- from left to right, John B. Sparks, Lee Brilleaux, Wilko Johnson and The Big Figure. This lineup would last until Wilko either quit or was kicked out (depending on whose account you believe).

Incidentally, by 1982 Lee was the original member left in the group. By then it was, effectively, the Lee Brilleaux Band. Brilleaux passed away in 1994, after which the rest of the band (as it was then-comprised) replaced him. The group is still around, touring. They haven't recorded a new album since 2006.
