Truth be told,
you often surprise me with your urbane wit, Myth!
Just from the subject line,
I anticipated the rest of that post, Myth!
Well, perfect pitch is a rare gift
that can sometimes be developed.
I've not heard of him, however, cap.
Five Star Pros!
Worse. Fact is
he owed it to him, IMO.
Stevie didn't get that shit from Roy Orbison.
Maybe even pre - creme rinse, Myth.
Wouldn't you, given the "situation," cap?
Albert came from a shoot first, ask questions later, culture.
Only if he was white!
I'll ask.
Nah.....
Albert speaks for himself. He was a no bullshit, gun toting blueser.
My friend Steve Conn did a 14 city European tour with him and
the entire time Albert referred to him only as "piano man!"
As I previously mentioned elsewhere he accused SRV of
expropriating his style and demanded fifty grand, which Stevie paid!
Hey, Crossroad cats!
American Bandstand!
(Yes, money talks)
The track features the Stax house band, aka "The MGs," with the great Al
Jackson on the drums. He hit that snare so hard and deep, that as Reggae
music developed in Jamaica, the drummers there mistook it for a bass drum,
and that explains why a lot of that music had the kick on the 2 & 4!
A lot of hip hop producers sampled that beat which is called "fat back!"
BB King - Sweet Little Angel
Albert King - Cold Feet
Freddie King - Goi' Down
Awright, Larry!
You're diggin deep in the crates for that one.
I met these guys when I was working at Northstar Recording Studios
in Boulder, CO, in 1979. They had a typically aggressive, yet ineffectual manager named Jerry Victor (Mister TCB, in the words of Lee Jones (Hatim),
their lead singer at the time.)
They were being produced by James Stroud, the man who went on to ruin country music, IMO.
Tremendously talented, then and now, but the draculas of the music business saw fit to only steal their publishing, it seems.
Tommy Mclain - I Ran Down Every Dream
Yes....
I did
Ray Charles - The Right Time
T-Bone Walker - Mean Old World
Charles Brown - Driftin' Blues
I knew you KNEW it!
Fact is
Ray got it from Charles Brown, and Nat "King" Cole.
.....yup, and I don't mind saying
that R.C. got a lot of his sound from Eddie Hinton. ??
Alvin "Shine" Robinson - Something You Got
He was an important writer
and influence in that era. I particularly liked and was influenced by the
funky (New Orleans) drum track on the record.
So many covers were made of the tune, I hope he retained his rights
as the writer.. (A lot of people didn't, back then).
It's true.
Chris Kenner - Land Of A Thousand Dances
Kenny Vaughan on Tom & Mike....
Oh man,
that's wack!
Yes, he was.....
In fact, Jerry Lawson credited BB as a major influence.
We recorded one of his hits; Hotel Happiness!
That clip I posted some time ago,
re: "The Players Card," gave me new insight into who he was!
I always liked that record!
I bought a used digital piano after our discussions and now my son
is taking advantage of it. Full 88, weighted keys & the ($75) price was right!
Tyrone Davis - I Wish It Was Me
T.D.!
That's an impressive performance......
restraint is often disregarded by aspiring white blues singers.
This lady has done the homework.
Still G'mornin' here, Larry!
Little Richard - Keep A Knockin' Very rare out take!
Marty Stuart - El Paso
Sonny Landreth - Zydeco Shuffle
Classy selection.
