Peace j ashley P.S. When I read this thread it reminds me that there is a lot of great music in the world, how come very little of it makes it to radio. Daddy's $$$,$$$,$$$.$$! But it is starting to dry up. I think another music cultural shakeup is just around the corner, and a good grass roots following is the place to be. I could be wrong.

I would concur with what Mike said, and add to it that the recording companies also seem to have the misguided notion that only youth sells. But good music is like fine wine... I like mine to be a little aged. - chadgumbo

Hey folks, I went to Shane Theriot's website this morning, to send a link to Mr Mike to punctuate a conversation about "the grease Factor" in music. Low and behold it's not just the Title of Shane's latest solo release, IT'S BECOME HIS NEW BAND! An impressive line-up indeed ... Shane, Johnny Neel, Jeff Sipe, Count M'Butu, and Dereck Jones. They are mostly in the south-southeast, but with a good audience response I think they can become their own entity, and stop their respective careers as side men. Sooo go out and see these guys if they are near, and let us all know your prediction for the future of The Grease Factor! Oct 07 Newby's: 539 S. Highland St. Memphis, TN (901) 452-8408 8-9 The Great Unknown Festival: King's River Retreat, Eureka Springs, AR 10 George's Majestic Lounge (festival after-party): 519 W. Dickson St. Fayetteville, AR (479) 442-4225 Nov 04 Bodega: Auburn, AL 05 Skeeter Fest: Oak Hall, AL 12 Neighboorhood Theatre: Charlotte, NC (704) 358-2606 13 Barley's Taproom: Knoxville, TN (865) 521-0092 www.thegreasefactor.com/index.shtml

There's an older interview I did with him awhile back on the Feat site. Point your browsers to: www.littlefeat.net/Shane/index.htm

This is a travesty! No one on this thread has heard of Railroad Earth? Aw, people. Send you your address and I'll send you a disc. You don't know what your missing- seriously!! "Sometimes described as "psychedelic bluegrass," RRE deftly blends traditional bluegrass with solid eastern seaboard folk sensibilities and a willingness to work without a net. The result is often spectacular." -Glide magazine I love Little Feat because of their energy, their songwriting, and the magic they create- and I love RRE for the same reasons!!! www.railroadearth.com Gayle

You don't know what your missing- seriously!! snip Before anybody gets their panties in a bunch over the railroad Earth commercial, Remember This is grassroots at it's finest. Before us pots call the kettle black let me just say RRE do rock! I highly recommend catching them if they're near. I might even try to hop over to Waitsfield Vt. this weekend for a festival at The Eclipse Theater. A new club that also rocks. RRE will be joined by The Slip, Named by Strangers, Jazz Mandolin Project amoung others. Check it out. We now return you to your Featdom T

I don't think anyone need apoligize for a "commercial" for a band on this thread. I welcome your suggestions because I think it takes a certain degree of musicial sopistication to "get" Little Feat so the recommendations on this site have a lot more validity than those you might get elsewhere. The thing I always loved about the Feat was that they were obviously diggers of all kinds of music. I defy anyone to put the Feat in a one word styilistic box (unfortunatley this probably hurt them commercially because Radio, Radio couldn't figure out what format they fit in, but F*uck'em, it shows you hw dumb most radio is) . I love music that throws all kinds of styles in a barrel stirs it up and then stand back and see what comes out. Psychedelic bluegrass, traditional bluegrass, eastern seaboard folk sensibilities; sounds like my kind of people esp. the working without a net part.
By the way if you like this kind of melting pot music try:
The Afro-Celt Sound System (Vol. 3 is a great one to start with) Real World Records I can't even try to describe what there music is, African rhythms, traditional Irish instruments, electronica and a whole lot more on this thrill ride.
There's music I like and there's music I don't, that's all the catagories we need. When you go to classify music you arre only giving some the excuse to hate some segment of music. Viva la' differance.
Peace j ashley

I hear ya again jashley!! Another veteran band that I absolutely flipped over in the early 70's that plays eclectic bluegrass....if you want to try to define their music somehow.....is Goose Creek Symphony!! Their founder, Charlie Gearheart, is truely a legend and his music is soothingly philosophical. Lost them for a couple of decades, but re-discovered them a couple of years ago to find that they play small venues like Little Feat, but mostly in the southeast area. Check them out on their website - www.goosecreeksymphony.com ;D

Viva la' differance. Peace j ashley There are no boundaries! Just "grease" as Tipi would say. I posted on HHD a few days ago about a special I watched on Direct TV freeview. Dolly Parton and her Blue Grass Band did a KILLER blue grass version of..."Stairway to Heaven"! Go figure.

Well said jashley! We like to think that our musical tastes are superior to others' tastes (I know I tend to), but I'm also aware that this is incorrect thinking. The truth is our tastes are primarily goverened by 2 things... timing and environment. What did we hear, when did we hear it, and how did it have an effect on us in that moment? As a young boy growing up in the 1960s in a very small town in northcentral Iowa, my dad owned a drive-in restaurant. Dad liked country music and the music of Lawrence Welk. But the high school boys would come by and drop dimes and quarters into dad's juke-box, which was filled with the rock n' roll music of the day, and of course I wanted to be like those high school guys. I could go on and on. Jashley, I don't have an Afro-Celt album (CD) as yet, but I love the song "When You're Falling" with Peter Gabriel. Good recommendation. My recommendation would be to stop by the local record store and have them order you (you meaning any reader who happens to come across this post) a copy of Monte Montgomery's Wishin Well, a really terrific album. - later chadgumbo
