Recorde in 1980...I'm sure I'd like it better if it was 15 years earlier, but still...

I like Lacey just fine (although none of his records do justice to his sound, i was at the gig that produced The Rent), and might like Potts by himself if I ever heard him, BUT I can't stand them together...it's kinda like the two guys who played with earl Hines at the Apex Club (?), fine on their own but they just don't blend well for me, YMMV, etc.

Reuben, of course, doing "Hot pastrami", yeah! I gotta not post when I'm tired and hungry...

the band on Visions isn't much and the material is off the wall (pop pop and Mozart) but Grant's sound is just glowing, not sure if he'd switched ax or amp for that one or what...

...back to the Hollies, I kinda like the Dylan trib, maybe because it doesn't really make any sense, and Has anyone here heard their later day Buddy Holly tribute album???????????? ...back to the Hollies, I kinda like the Dylan trib, maybe because it doesn't really make any sense, and Has anyone here heard their later day Buddy Holly tribute album???????????? ...back to the Hollies, I kinda like the Dylan trib, maybe because it doesn't really make any sense, and Has anyone here heard their later day Buddy Holly tribute album????????????

I think we've been down this road before.... and while I'll be the first to say the're not 'all good', I don't think the're generally lame either...a good one whould tell you something(s) new about both parties. Some Trib's I like: Lefty Frizel Sings Jimmie Rodgers To Lefty From Willie Ray Charles Modern Sound in C&W Music (a trib to rednecks) King Curtis Plays songs Made Famous By Sam Cooke Sam Cooke - Night Beat (a sort of trib to Charles Brown) Thelonious Monk Plays Due Ellington Ellington - And His Mother Called Him Bill Arthur Blythe - Light Blue (Monk, without piano) Albert King - King Does the Kings Things (Elvis) VA - Amacord Nina Rota enough for now.

Another great musician named for a sandwich...or maybe I'm just hungery. Anyways, I too love Philly Joe. Just not quite as much as I love Roy Haynes.

Don't know if it's been on CD, but it would be a shame if it wasn't...but then it seems to be the opinion of some here that I'm overly fond of grease 9although this is only moderately greasey, by my standards, YMMV, yada yada, blah blah blah). Gotta love a guy named after a realy great sandwich...

Allen, Ever read Lester Bangs rant re what BS "Joey" was/is? Get better, I already thought you was pretty good...? Dana

i've been struggling with a back injury which makes playing v. painful, not that we're in the same league, so my heart totally goes out to him...seen/heard stuf by him I loved and some not - doesn't really matter in this context.

"worried", used properly, is a perfectly fine descriptive with a fixed, definite technical meaning, eg 'Otis Redding worried that 'gotta' like a dog with a bone'. n'est pa?

love the pants...

I would never hire Mo Tucker as a session drummer, but she often fit what the Velvets were doing and even if not it doesn't bug me. Now John Bonham, he bugs me. As do lots of other perfectly competent drummers, when they don't listen...

"albums that are too greasy", sorry does not compute...grease cold, or otherwise wrong place/time I get. I kinda like "Look of Love" and its companion, "Always Something There". But then I bought one of them in Drumheller, AL one of the first times Bren' went to S'toon with me. Still not as much as I like "Rough 'n Tumble" or "Jubilee Shout", but to me it's no nevermind whether Stan's playing Gershwin, Bacharach or Jobim, to name 3 writers he did good stuffs with. My feeling is that gthe Mingus is listenable but not much more and the abovementioned Monk really doesn't work.

I've worked at bothe the Electric Fetus in Mpls and Music Millennium here in Ptld, sometimes shop at the Vinyl Resting Place.

This made me google the title to find the lyrics - Clarke is listed first as composer with a couple of other guys. But here is the funny thing - This lyrics website references CCR, yet AMG doesn't list CCR as having ever recorded it, and of course whatever the similarities it doesn't look like Fogerty ever made a copyright violation claim. So WTF is up with that site. Anyway, TK, you can get the lyrics at that link - at least I think they are close to accurate. I don't think there's anything even close to a copyright violation there, it's just a style thing, someone with better transcription and analysis skills would be needed for more detail. Nonetheless, the inspiration/similarity seems obvious to me, YMMV, etc. I was unaware that the Beatles hated them, perhaps they were too close to the unhip, hicks from the sticks side of the Beatles...personally I love that side of both bands, the unfettered enthusiasm tht left them both when they got 'hip', but we've been down this road before re my aversion to all things 'hip'...

I thought everyone heard "Long tall Woman" as v. Creedence-like... I had a very beat up CND Hits comp, played the heck outta it, best $0.75 I ever spent... "Look Through Any Window" and "Pay You Back With Interest", yeah! In fact I like all the bands CSN were in better than them.

I like GG's take on "Hurt So Bad", HM's "Goin' Out of My Head", JP's "Ain't That Peculiar", ST's "Ain't No Way", "Can't Buy Me Love" and lots of others, Pharogh Sanders/Ed Kelly's "You Send Me", BF's "Live to Tell", etc. Not so much HH's New Standard, seemed kinda forced...why make something comntemporary sound like "Gingerbread Boy". Heard a nice swinging "The Night Before", but can't remember who it was... Lots of good versions of Burt so Bad's tunes "House is Not a Home" by SR fer example... I'd like to do a DGS Plays the Drifters album, but don't know if I'll ever be up to it.

Move over, Rover And let Jimi take over Yeah! That's what I'm talking about... Nigel Kennedy's tribute thing (better live than on CD) was perhaps the most unexpected, if not the 'best'

...and "everybody's tying to Be My Baby" & "Honey Don't" from Roy Newman, maybe "Matchbox" as well, all of then possibly 2nd or 3rd hand; that's the way real music works. Clean slate originality is an inanely Romantic notion, copyright law even makes provision for "derivative works". Everybody appropriates, it's what you do with it that matters, but that's much harder to come to grips with... Personally I love what Perkins and the Beatles did (generally, not always) and Led Zep not so much. ...and "everybody's tying to Be My Baby" & "Honey Don't" from Roy Newman, maybe "Matchbox" as well, all of then possibly 2nd or 3rd hand; that's the way real music works.

the Decca audition is much weaker than their early work for Parlaphone, I think that's what he was saying...

ska/rock steady/early reggae I love, later reggae not so much, with a few exceptions. One group yet mentioned that I particularly like, the Heptones. Have Night Food, need to get more.

I bought a bunch nearly 20 years ago when BS/SN changed distribution, sure glad i did. Wish i had time/$ to delve deeper...

Like John Bonham. I'd say he swung. IMHO John Bonham did NOT swing...one of several reasons I don't like Led Zep...but on the other hand, denying their influence or that they did speak to many people in a way they don't speak to me, would be totally irrational, VMMV, etc.

I love her name; I know I'm really shallow...
