I'd love to be able to play slide guitar like Matt Andes in Jo Jo Gunne.

I really LOVE slide tooo
Warren Haynes has some instructional stuff out there.
Some say Derek Trucks is Duane Allman reincarnated.

Jo Jo Gunne reunited recently & put out an album of their Classic oldies & some new tracks.
I haven't got it yet...

I think it was by following a link that I recently re-discovered Lydia Pense and COLD BLOOD. 

What a great band...soul, rock, jazz - and with Lydia Pense fronting them, a voice that wouldn't quit. I loved their stuff in the 70's.

And here's a YouTube of You Got Me Hummin' - one of my favorites.

WHAT a voice, and what a solid band!!  There's some excellent brass there, and great bass work.

Lots of great bands mentioned here, Spirit, Mountain who I saw several times back in the early 70's. Jefferson Airplane, Traffic. I rediscovered The Stooges and early Grand Funk while living in Lima, Peru several years ago. I saw The Stooges in 1969 but never saw Grand Funk. I love Mel Schacter's bass playing and sound on the first 5 or 6 LP's especially the 2nd album, the red one with the J bass on the cover. I could blast that album all night.
Same for The Stooges, especially the Raw Power stuff, I have almost all the bootleg stuff and legitimate releases. That band rocked, Raw Power has to be the most powerful and primitive stuff ever released on record. I have all three versions, the Bowie mix on LP, The Iggy mix on CD and the rough mixes, plus all the live stuff, the rough mixes that was supposed to be the second album which would have been killer. I actually like the Bowie mix the best on most songs because it's got more bottom, Iggy really unleashed it's power though, scary good.

This one is more about revisiting one of the coolest bass lines.  Jon Brandt really did a great job on this.

Yup.  He turned up again to help this little lady out.

Did you see the review on that site?  ;D

QuoteBottom Line:
Not bad for her first album but it could have been better with a better player on bass.............

I haven't heard it but Merryweather must have either been having a bad day album or he was being told what to play because normally you cant shut him up.... he is a riffmeister.

What, no mention of the guy introducing the Badfinger clip?

The "classic" Runaways rhythm section was Jackie Fox (with Thunderbird in clip) and the late, great Sandy West.

Oh yeah~ Kenny Rogers--who was a bassplayer back then:

That's a dark song, ain't it?  :o

I listened to some VH the other day & the Roth era stuff seems to hold up better than the Hagar era.
They were both pretty damn cool!! VH got overplayed so much I couldn't stand any of it for a long time.

Yeah, it's a dark song all right. Written by Mel Tillis and loosely based on a true story.

Kenny Rogers used to do session work on bass in Houston before he hit the big time.

My new TigerShark song has the lyrics:
"I've been listenin' to Fleetwood Mac- a song called Jewel Eyed Judy"
Just found it on youtube:

...along with other great songs from Kiln House--Post Green, Pre-Buckingham Nicks!!

Earl Grey:



Had this on 8 track in high school. Mellow....
Ah~ sa-weet memories.

Hear my song with Jewel Eyed Judy in it here:

www.myspace.com/tigersharkrocks

Funny thing is...when I wrote the song I just needed a word to rhyme with duty....
Hadn't heard the song in 30-some years! Hearin' it again now is SO coool
It wasn't on youtube when I wrote the song awhile back...I looked.
