Boston's blue-collar oi! boys let body ink serve as a diary of hard lives on this teaser for an early-2013 LP. Tattoos jog memories of camaraderie, piracy and devotion; mandolins, martial drums and a seafaring Celtic breakdown add up to a hearty Guinness cry. 

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
