Lyr Req: Just Lovin' You (The O'Kanes)

From: GUEST,Gulchero

Hello, does anyone have any information on where to get a copy of the Okanes recording of this song? They seem to be out of print. From what I have gathered they recorded back in the late 80s. Even an old record would do. Also I would like to find the lyrics.
Thanks, gm

PM me, gm.

I have all the O'kanes stuff... they are one of my favorite groups.
They are the best example I can come up with about how epehemeral music is. They were quite popular for three or four years, and yet all their albums went out of print almost the moment they broke up.
I sing When We're Gone, Long Gone, which is a terrific song. They also did a wonderful job on That's Allright, Momma.

Thanks for the response Jerry. I don't know the lingo here so I will reveal my ignorance. What is "PM me?" And how do I do that?

I remember hearing their stuff and liking it back when they were together. A friend sang this song and I always liked it. Now I would like to learn it. I would like to find copies of their stuff.

thanks gm

o.k., gm:

Check the Quick Links box at the top right hand corner of the scree, scroll down until you get ot "Send A Personal Message." Click on that choice, and then you'll be asked to type in the name of the peeon you wish to PM. Type in Jerry Rasmussen, and my name will come up. Click on my name and a screen will open where you can type in a message to me. If you send me your address, I'll get the stuff to you.

Cds of the O'Kanes albums are out of print, but I've picked up two of them on eBay. I don't have a CD of their first album that has Just Loving You on it, but I'm looking at a cassette of the album whic I'd be glad to copy and send to you.

Kieran has had the more long-lasting career of the two. I haven't heard much from Jamie O'Hara in the last few years. Dirty Littel Town by Kieran Kane is one of my favorites...

Let me know how the concert went, Frank

gm, I think you need to join Mudcat before you will be able to PM Jerry. You also wanted the lyrics - there's not much to them really:

JUST LOVIN' YOU
(Jamie O'Hara/Kieran Kane)

If I could be anyone that I wanted to be
I'd be me just lovin' you
If I could go anywhere, see what I wanted to see
I'd see me just lovin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you, just lovin' you
If I had one star that I could make a wish on tonight
I'd say I'm alright just lovin' you

As long as you say that you'll be mine
And that we never will part
My days will be filled up with sunshine
And I'll have this song in my heart

If I could be anyone that I wanted to be
I'd be me just lovin' you
If I could go anywhere, see what I wanted to see
I'd see me just lovin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you, just lovin' you
If I could be anyone that I wanted to be
I'd be me just lovin' you

Jerry, a few years ago now (2001, I thought it was later than that - how time flies), Jamie O'Hara issued what for me was a disappointing CD entitled 'Beautiful Obsession' (Valley Entertainment VE15149) - IMO not a patch on his fine earlier solo album for RCA called 'Rise Above It'.

Incidentally for those who may be interested, Steve Reid of 'Yesterday and Today' records here in Oz still has Jamie O'Hara's 'Rise Above It' album available for $A18 - he does overseas orders. It is listed among his bargain CDs on this page: Click here.

Stewie:

Yes, The Rise Above it CD by Jamie O'Hara was fine... I have it. Came out around the same time as a great CD by another favorite country singer of mine I never hear any more about.. Mike Reid.
The first O'Kanes CD IS still avialable on Amazon.com for $27. I don't want it THAT bad. I like their second album better.

And you're right, Stewie.. didn't stop to think that gm can't pm me unless he becomes a member.

If you are still checking this thread, gm, my e-mail address is geraldrasmussen@sbcglobal.net.

Glad I found this thread here. A Pac. NW Group, Blue Northern, did this at last year's Singtime Frolics. It's a wonderful song.
