Here's an "official video" for a tune off that new album. Sounds like Dream Theater; these guys are masters at what they do. |

listening to the whole album, James does an incredible job making each character sound different. In general his voice sounds in a much better condition generally than the last couple of albums.

Alpine Valley Aug. 8, 1982, with Zakir Hussien sitting in starting with "Drumz" & John Cipollina joining in from "Not Fade Away".
After awhile in the parking lot, my buddy Bob & I wandered back to the car all aglow just as another car pulled in beside us and out climbed....well, ~5'5", slim but curvy, golden-brown hair to her waist, nothing under the plain white t-shirt, jeans cut off at the crotch then split up the seams to the waistband, fringed suede knee-high moccosin boots, and, on her right hand, one purple satin over-the-elbow glove with the fingers cut out.
We melted.
We still toast her to this day.
To the Purple Glove!

I like that Brown/Osborne version, especially that they didn't lockstep the harmonies, choosing their own phrasing even when singing together. It somehow added, on a different level, to the story being told. |

I discovered his "Children of the night" album a long, long time ago... got hooked by his "Dopes on the water" version... and his Prokofiev-influenced "Wolf". I was heavily into the whole Numan-Slash-SoftCell thing... I later got more into Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Peter Murphy... I guess I still am, a little.. |

So I'm channeling 70's English, used to play these in the joints back in the day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9f_HHV5Pc4
Believe me, anything called 'The Cowboy Song' went over big in Texas, and Lizzy was riding high at the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIwyV19C4Tg&list=PLqwvZEGGuQwHuYmK3uvrSZ8MFOX1TNi-C&index=1
Don't ever tell me that The Black Crowes didn't wear out a LOT of Humble Pie records when they were kids. Marriott squalling as usual, and amazingly, Stephen Stills on Hammond and keys.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZqWX-E7nOM
Was always nuts for The Faces and 'Gasoline Alley'-era Rod. Ronnie was on the verge of guitar-hero-dom, then hooked up with Keith and Mick . . . . oh well. God Rest Ronnie and Ian McLagan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi3Xu5c3rro
I was always nuts for Savoy's 'Street Corner Talkin' album. It always sounded like the best bar band, and it's very honest in the instrumentation and production of what little blues-ish bands sounded like back then. This was there take on H-D-H's 'Can't Get Next to You', a successful remake of the Temps' hit reduced to a chugging little shuffle, with a nice change of pace in the middle instrumentals.
My Back Pages, ah but I was so much older then . . . I'm older than that now !

With the talk of pit orchestras in another thread I felt compelled to relive a part of my only pit experience (thus far). Unfortunately there is no decent recording from the 4 performances that were put on by the Soulstice Theater Group; below are the 'real' versions.
From Chess the Musical.
The American and Florence/ Nobody's Side
Odd time signatures, killer bass line mirroring the vocalist in the beginning, such a blast.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=W0yQQMwnkhY
Then this song, Pity The Child, which every night the vocalist would miss a line . . . but not always the same one. The 'orchestra' (2 keys, 1 sax, flute, clarinetist a drummer and yours truly on the trusty Distillate) had no choice but to jump ahead and land together in the same spot as the vocalist talk about an exhilarating rush! We nailed it every time. Since we didn't have a guitarist we extended the end and were allowed to improvise with the sax player shredding and me pumping him along.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=EEhojI1ghmQ
And of course the most famous song from this musical; One Night in Bangkok, which allowed for some funky bass playing. Spankin' the plank on this one :-D

Chris Bell was the founder of this band and his little known solo recordings are terrific.

Thanks for the reminder of the "Chess" soundtrack Paul... I actually have that whole thing on *cassette tapes* that are nearly worn out from non-stop play during my high school years. (dang, how I miss the 80's)
The fledgling alt. country band I've been recording with recently, is putting together a set of mostly originals with some covers mixed in. One of the tunes they cover well is Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle", as played by The Black Crowes. I'm trying to borrow a few textures from Phil's lines here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqsgr3rPvSQ |

quote:Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle", as played by The Black Crowes.
With all due respect (+) when I read that I sprayed coffee on my monitor and made a sound like a water buffalo coughing up a hairball.
That's like doing Michael Bolton's version of "When a Man Does A Woma ... well, Michael Bolton "doing" anything, and I think you know what I'm sayin' here.
It's an Otis Redding song, pops. Time for a refresher:
https://youtu.be/1ZxN9iQM7OY
Hear how Otis relaxes into the groove, especially when he sings that line at the top of the chorus; "Pretty little thing, let me light your candle 'cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around," with a gentle lag - he takes the time - not rushed or stuttered.
That's mastery. The whole pocket is back on the beat, rockin' (Like James Brown's "Night Train," the "Live At The Apollo" version where if the bass and drums lagged any more, the whole thing would derail in flames. That's what gives it that "chugging uphill" feel.)
Otis had a message, oh yeah. It's no secret what the song is about, and it wasn't to watch drunk teenagers spasming frantically on a dance floor. I like to think that Otis sang it to one particular person. That's the secret of that song. Listen to again. Think it worked?
Also, in 1967 Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were all the rage (did you know that was the "Wrecking Crew" with Carol Kaye on bass?), Johnny Cash had a mariachi horn section on "Ring of Fire" and Chet was in Nashville as head of RCA, slathering strings and horns on everything from Elvis to Jim Reeves and Johnny Horton.
So Otis can be forgiven the horns, I think, but I prefer the Black Crowes' intro and vamp back to the head (know what I mean?) their version of that line is pretty iconic, so now's your chance. Best of both worlds.
Nothing against the Black Crowes, really. It's me, I admit it. But their version is a stalwart of the "wedding set list from Hell," along with "Wonderful Tonight," "Old Time Rock 'n Roll," anything by anyone even named "Michael," "Bolton" "Petty" or "Thorogood" and of course; "You Are So Beautiful" (w/real tears + rose=$50) etc. ad nauseum matrimonii ... I've just been witness to its torture too many times, and in this case there's one of the greatest, coolest appeals to pure rut ever performed to resurrect.
Teach them the truth, brother. Show them the way. Do it for Otis.

Like the man said, 'boy, if you don't quit pickin' that thing . . . '. Here's a 90-mph version of an old chestnut, with Buddy Charlton on all-maple ShoBud, and Leon Rhodes wailing the other harmony voice in his arrangement of 'Steel Guitar Rag', from the early 60's when they played for ET.

Here's a cool version of "Hard to Handle" with an unusual cast: Etta James, Grateful Dead, and Tower of Power Horn Section from the Dead's 12/31/82 New Year's show. (I was there - the entire set with Etta & TOP was outstanding).

Good stuff! I was at that one too, we snuck in through a bathroom window, then duct taped the antenna of our boom box to a steel girder and recorded a crystal clear radio broadcast of the show as we watched it. Fun times and great version of that tune! "Grateful Dead, how'd you guys get a name like that anyway?" - Etta James |

Wow, what a treasure! Thanks! I love it when Jerry was doing those 9ths on the backbeat, way up where Chet called "the dusty end of the fingerboard," like something from a funk band (Tower of Power, come to think of it). God, he was so generous and humble. You could feel him settle into that groove like a comfortable sofa, and he left so much room for everybody to have fun.
Hell, by 2:30 it had become yet another unique version entirely (it snapped back with the horns at the end). Phil sounds really solid and muscular, even on these crappy iPad speaker (can't find my ear buds, at least my neighbors know I'm groovy).
I'll bet that was a killer show, you lucky dawg. |

So silly question time, is there a recording of the whole set with Etta somewhere? The Dead, Etta and her energy and TOP horn section, how have I not heard of this for 30+ years?
I got to crawl out from under my rock more frequently. |

I listened while doing chores this afternoon and really dug it.
Then I moved into Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends . . . the whole album. While I was listening it was painfully clear how truly poetic the aptitude of Keith was, his versatility and skill . . . I guess they were not enough to cover his pain - so sad. |

If I can make it 8-1/2 more years running this water plant, I'm going to retire from public service and get myself a gig like this one... actually, this same show is coming to Charlottesville, Virginia next month, and I'm thinking about going. I love the minimalist approach, no big stage production, all music.

The girl that plays banjo in our neo-oldtyme band "New River Bound" is shopping for a new banjo... or rather, thinking of commissioning a new build based on a very old design. (sound familiar?) =)
Anyway, she very much likes this fella's work... this first demo is a strange one - a half-fretless banjo, meaning it's fretless down to the 7-1/2th fret, (?! yeah, you read that right) and fretted from there on to the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4TRiGsjfI
And this is a similar model, but with all the frets. Jess really likes this tone, and it suits her playing style well. I like the simple retro design, especially the brass-plated frailing scoop at the end of the fingerboard.

What's the purpose of the scoop plate? Other banjos appear to have more frets there. |

The plate over the scoop I guess is mostly just decorative, although it could be functional in the same way as a pickguard. These banjos are made specifically for the melodic frailed-style players, many of which play right over the end of the fingerboard (very much like we do with our basses to get a more mellow tone) so the makers will offer a "scooped" fingerboard to facilitate that style. I'm guessing they found an interesting way to dress it up.
The half-fretless is an idea I had considered have Alembic try on my bass. |

I liked the sound of the fretless banjo, made it a little greasier. |

Supergroup indeed. ^ Is that a JayDee bass Mark King is playing? I just assumed it was an Alembic until the screen froze for a second, and nope, definitely not.
I really enjoyed what these folks were doing about ten years ago. Robert Johnson and J.S. Bach would both have loved this band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1ZGels-dY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kakJBjYlM4
ps @ pauldo - regarding the half-fretless bass, I had in mind for a similar brass plate to go from the nut down to the 12-1/2 fret, and be fretted from there to the 24th fret. It would work, but would be unspeakably heavy since that brass fingerboard overlay would have to be as thick as a fret is tall. Think of it as literally a single "continuous fret". (like Ms. W. said about McVie's stainless steel fingerboard) See, I'm completely comfortable playing fretless bass until I get in to the 2nd octave. (where I really ain't got any business anyway) At that point, having some frets there to clean up my questionable intonation seemed like a good idea, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like training wheels. I just decided instead to go with a fretless ebony board with sidelines, and practice harder. =) |

One of the guys who works at the other end of our building is a gifted guitar player, and often brings me something interesting to listen to. It was Danny Gatton last month, but lately he's been on a Bill Frisell kick...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dixd6msKLjo
What grabs me about this musical collaboration is the bassist, Viktor Krauss -the name isn't a coincidence- he's Alison Krauss' brother. Anyway, I've studied and tried to emulate his tone since the first time I ever heard him play. (like probably 25 years or so) |

I love Bela's playing. I've been lucky to see the Flecktones twice in Glasgow, once with Jeff Coffin and the second time after Howard Levy had re-joined the band. Both great shows.

Going to see Corea and Fleck in Minneapolis in a few weeks and needed some time to reacquaint myself with their music. |

Phil Ochs, Pleasures Of The Harbor.
Since the first time I sat around a dorm room baked playing "10 Desert Island Albums" over 40 yeras ago, this one has been on the list; one of the greatest albums of all time, with wonderful songs & mind-blowing production - especially the last 3 tracks on the CD (which I will always think of as "Side 2") - "The Party", the title track, and "Crucifixion". Sheer genius!
And some of the best liner notes ever, as well.
There is another song added at the end of the YT clip that is not from POTH

My favorite song, writing about song writing. I mean songwriting about writing songs. I mean, song about the "Music Industry" by Pinkard & Bowden. |

I'm really digging the latest album from Esperanza Spalding: "Emily's D+Evolution." Amazing bassist and singer. The songs (and bass playing - all on a fretless 5-string) is phenomenal. A bit of an experimental album from Esperanza (more rock than jazz)... |

Just heard a minute ago, Merle Haggard had died, on his 79th birthday.
One of the bands I play in covers this hit from 1980, and I always look forward to this one in the set, especially the little ascending line at the end of each verse that sets up the chorus. I LIVE for that kinda' stuff.

April 10th, 1990... Fleetwood Mac releases "Behind The Mask, their first full-length album since the departure of Lindsey Buckingham. (although curiously, he played guitar on the title cut) Replacing Buck, are guitarists Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. One with deep blues/rock cred, the other a vocalist and front-man personality.
Although the album wasn't that well received, the project as a whole is a good example of what a band does on the rebound and rebuild. Unfortunately the new niche' they were looking for was already occupied by the fringes of 1990's pop-country, but I always thought this was a fun tune to play on bass. Listen how John still plays off Christine's left hand, even if it is on an accordion. =)

Then there was this single that should have been on the album... same personnel.

My favorite track from "Tango in the Night", released 29 years ago today. To this day, my left hand cramps trying to play John's line on this one...

Gregory, I'm glad you liked it, I love that kind of stuff. I saw Rufus Reid last week and he mentioned Ray Brown and how he was a big influence on his playing. Ray Brown had a little trill/hammer thing he does up in the first position, I noticed Rufus Reid does the exact same thing in that first position, interesting to see the adaptation of that specific technique.
Dave, that Crimson stuff was great! I used to listen to them a lot. I love the way they layer sounds and instruments, they use dynamics to build to high points and fall back off again as transition points in the music. I'll have to dig out my old records (yes vinyl!).
Brian, I love "In a Silent Way", one of my favorite Miles tunes! I really like the bass groove in the middle with keyboards following and builds, then suddenly drops off, then quietly starts up and builds again. That's great stuff! |

Just got home from seeing the Residents; they screened the documentary "theory of obscurity" then played live, their latest show based on "shadowland" the latest album...very cool, although perhaps a little too much Residents in one sitting! Such a cool band/concept/art project...amazing that they've managed to keep it on their terms for 40+ years...Devo started as something like them and couldn't keep that control...Tony. |

I was very excited when Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Will" came out, since it was the almost-Rumours-era band's first recorded effort together since "Tango" 15 years earlier. Although she declined to tour with them, or rejoin in any capacity, Christine McVie played and sang on a couple cuts. Hard to believe that was 13 years ago today. April must have been a favorite month or something... anyway, I really enjoyed hearing them together again on these two.

'81 & '89 were the only years they played Alpine (at least pre-Vince) that I didn't go; I own this one & it really makes me wish I had.

Apparently, I'm not keeping up, as I hadn't heard of this band until today. Flying Colors, with, among others, Steve Morse, Dave LaRue, and Mike Portnoy.
Here's one of their tunes, Bombs Away
And here they cover an instrumental from the Dixie Dregs, Odyssey, which is great.
I've long admired Steve's playing and writing, and this band is a good fit. |

Chick Corea (still one of the best at 74) and Bella Fleck live in Minneapolis. Heard music that spanned the ages, including pieces from an 18th century Italian and a 20th century French composer (Dutilleux) to straight bluegrass to jazz with a banjo. Definitely an amazing experience. |

I had to learn the Van Morrison tune "Into The Mystic" from 1970 "Moondance" for a wedding reception gig this-coming weekend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvsDuJYEnI
I'm not familiar with the bassist John Klingberg (sp?) but I have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out what he played on this track. It's got a distinctly Motown feel to it. As an aside, I dialed the magical Alembic low-pass filter down just a little more than usual, and panned to favor the neck pickup... the flatwounds took care of the rest. =) |

I had to learn 'Moondance' for my current functions band and in my digging around for inspiration I came across this talkbass thread about John. Quite a moving read.

Oh wow... I'd never seen that thread before Graeme. I need to think of a good post to revive it again. Like so many others, in the course of learning a song, I just stumbled upon some largely overlooked ingenuity. |

In that thread, one person wrote that the first time he played Moondance, it was called at a gig. He thought it would be easy, but he butchered it.
I have the vague recollection that the same thing happened to me; it was called at a party I was playing, I thought it would be easy, but when I started playing, I suddenly realized it wasn't as easy as I thought.
I have another vague recollection that later I sat down and learned it. But that's been decades ago, and I doubt I remember it now. |

Picked up Tedeschi Trucks Band new disc "Let Me Get By" (deluxe version with bonus disc).
Generally I am drawn to a more bass-centric type bands (not hating on Tim Lefebvre at all) but this band, live, recorded whatever, really strikes a chord in me. Every member cooperatively brings a bit of themselves that results in music that really blooms. |

Seems here lately, a lot of our musical heroes have been departing at an accelerated pace... knowing that it's just a normal part of the experience here doesn't make it easier.
I was playing a gig Saturday night, and while on break this tune came across the mp3 random play. The title made me think of my buddy Tony, who died very suddenly last Summer. In addition to being a musical hero, he was a very close friend, a brother really. I sent a quick text to his wife and kids and another close friend while the thought was fresh in my mind.
A little instrumental anthem, for my buddy Tony, and for all "Those Who Have Gone Clear" recently or long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKx6fKAdnYs |
