I've been watching him
for over forty years. I've never seen before
what I witnessed Thursday night, August 31
at The Aladdin Theater. Flabbergasting!
The trio played with total confidence,
and he was playing with total abandon.
& sadly, the place was half-full.
He opens the entire shindig
I believe.
But 16 years ago.......
Sonny goes on first.....
possibly, but "ya didn't hear it from Murray."
Charlie Parker Lennie Tristano Kenny Clarke - Two selections 1951
Well, after being overwhelmed
by Sonny Landreths' evolution as I witnessed it last week,
he gets a pass as well.
caveat: he's not from Texas.
He's tuning up for his "joust" with Eric later this month.
Added.
Which column?
Maybe he has, & maybe he hasn't.......
you guys all know that SRV gets a big special guest, after party
PASS from me. He never pretended that he invented it, only that
he absorbed it from the creators. He grew up in Texas where
every guitar player that wore sneakers could/had to play the blues.
Texas IS the living blues. Houston is dirty, funky,w/o any meaningful
building codes and loaded with the kind of pleasures that
inevitably lead to the blues.
Stevie, his brother,The Hill Brothers, Billy Gibbons, Townes VZ
and a ton of other funky white guys got blues - Christened
in H-Town around people like Lightnin' Hopkins, Freddie King,
Gatemouth Brown & a bunch of others.
O fcourse Albert could whip all of 'em....at once.
But ya can't jump over bullets!
Albert was strapped before packin'
was cool, from what one of his sidemen
once told me,
Albert woulda grabbed him by one
of those sissy scarfs and flipped him on
his wirely ass, IMO.
Odds on it, Myth?
He had to be
in the world in which he functioned.
Albert King played the blues when it was a LIFESTYLE;
not just another "genre."
Yup! & (they say)
he did pay Albert 50K.
With Alberts' reputation, that was a very prudent payment, IMO.
Dumb songs & huge hits, Dew,
go hand in hand to the bank.
Kid could play.
Probably a vibrant market
for those seats, in some circles.
Culture has always spread
from west to east, in our great land, Myth.
Still not my cup 'o tea, however.
Yes, for the most part.
I think that 8 million story is pretty bogus, myself.
That's typically the way it works.
It's that Crossroad thingie, Myth.

Bottom line is they had no claim to the SR copyright which belonged to
Sony who was TOTALLY conflicted. In reality that was the real trigger for the
lawsuit which purported, bogusly, to be about the chord changes,
that in fact were not copyritable.
