Dub Modal Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Scrolling discogs and I don't have any album that he's ever played on, but am familiar with many of the artists and some songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems odd, given what a wide swath of American music he played on. I must have dozens. Long thread over at SHF. Great drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkins played on some Johnnie Taylor albums but I don't have those, although I've got others by Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, maybe, in real time, there were real choices between Muscle Shoals and Memphis. I made my choices early on for Memphis, even if it was a choice of degree (and a smallish one at that). But a choice it was, and is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Traffic at Winterland in 73 and 74. He was probably with them in 73, touring with "Shootout at the Fantasy Factory". 74 might have been the "When the Eagle Flies" lineup.

JSngry Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 You don't "have" to, it's just something that happens when the radio is on a lot. It's why there's a #1 song on the charts one week, and then a #2 song right underneath it. And maybe next week they've flipped. But you can't help but want to hear one song just a little bit maybemore than another one, even if you like them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMP Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 He’s on Herbie Mann’s ‘Muscle Shoals Nitty Gritty.’ (The album’s a lot better than the title.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
