VA - This is My Name and This is My Song CD1+CD2+CD3+ CD4 (A Butterboy Compilation)









MY NAME , MY SONG

VA - This is My Name and This is My Song CD1+CD2+CD3+ CD4 (A Butterboy Compilation)


What name did your parent(s) give you? We mostly all carry that name with pride all our lives but there are some who adopt a new name for professional or creative reasons. This compilation attempts to capture those many singer songwriters that have an entirely different stage name to their birth name. In some cases, these moniker shifts have made them became famous. There are even cases when a singer songwriter is addressed labeled as a mononym. In some cases, we don't even know their real names. To make this compilation more interesting I also included the following criteria to identify those artists. 
  • The artists must be a songwriter having written the chosen track.
  • The track chosen must be written by an artist as a sole writer, either for self or another person's i.e., cannot be co-written.
  • Tracks should be the artists first written song, either on an album or on a single, assuming a single precedes an album.
This compilation took some time to create as the criteria made it a little difficult to identify the artists first self-written song. (AIA if any errors). 

Here are 4 volumes of these artist who we may not know if we met and shared or first names.  CD4 is only by a mononym's artist. Enjoy.

  1. Whew! Butter, I think you've put more skull sweat into this compilation than any other you've graciously shared! I like the great range of artists and eras, and am practically hopping up and down in my seat as I recognize quite a few artists, but often not the song itself - a real ear opener! In fact, this one will have us listening as much with our heads as with those ears themselves. What a treat for both!

    1. Hi Aging Child,
      Thank you. A man of great taste such as yourself will enjoy the finds on this compilation. I don't mind saying this was a very long (but enjoyable)process to get to where I arrived with this one. I was rattled by my own rules. I think I've captured most tracks correctly but there may a few who have a better knowledge and will probably find the odd error. That is OK. I hope I have made an enjoyable listing for those interested. You comments have accurately captured what I have tried to do with this compilation. There are many artist here that wrote many songs before the chosen track that appears here but always as a co-writer, so to identifying the first song the artist wrote was a wonderful challenge. Happy days.

      Cheers.

    2. That's the mark of the true artist -- whether with palette, guitar, or laser-read disk: putting one's very self and focus into the output, rather than simply grabbing random items (e.g., musical notes, tubes of oil paint, recordings), and tossing them into the stew any old way. I'd hang a Vermeeer in my living room long before I'd put up a Pollock... no offense intended, Jackson. Likewise, a ButterBoy compilation belongs in reach of every CD player. Bonus: you're clearly having fun doing this: another mark of an artist. Lead on, sir!

  3. This is amazing, how did you ever come up with such an idea? I agree with Aging Child you have excelled here.

    PS cd1 #27 I'm sure you meant to type "Chester Arthur Burnett".

    1. Thanks lemonflag.
      Much appreciated.
      I was reading an article where the name William George Perks Jr. appeared and identified the said gentleman as a Rolling Stone. Very interesting I thought and after a bit of research found many artists that I did not know their real names. That why he occupies the first position of this Compilation.
      That could have been enough of an idea but I followed the path I did wondering if those artists with different birth names actually wrote songs. I am glad I did. These set are are interesting enough musically but also provides a great document for those interested.
      I know there are other artist that have different stage names than their birth name but they didn't write songs that I am aware of.
      H.W.? It certainly should. Fixed and amended. I've looked at these so many times and even dreamed about the tracks.

      Cheers.

  4. What a concept! De-Constructivism of highest standards and: where you'd never expect it first place ... I guess, I'll listen to many of these tracks so much differently than before - and that's what makes this collection even more special. Thanks & stay healthy, Butterboy!

  7. Elvis Costello's first single was "Less Than Zero", not "Watching The Detectives".

    1. Hi Naz Fride,
      I think we may both wrong as referenced by Discogs.
      His first single listed was Mystery Dance / Pay It Back 1977 followed by
      Watching The Detectives
      then
      Alison
      then
      Less Than Zero
      then
      Red Shoes

      But I concede that you may be correct as "Less Than Zero", was released on March 25, 1977 and Watching the detectives was released in Nov 1977 ?
      Thanks for getting me to look again.
      Cheers
