You guys crack me up.....if you ever get together at a Feat concert and start talking politics, i WILL lure you outside with a promise just so i can hear the music!! got to run, SB may be warming up in a few...! Don't worry. A Feat Show will always transcend politics! Besides, it would have to be a pretty tall promise to lure me out of one. ;D Did you go to see Sir Bruton? PS-I need to be calling you week after next. I'm working down yonder. |

Looks like the Global Moderator needs to moderate more  I think there is a poly-ticks thread somewhere. ;D Listen'n to Jerry Douglas, Lookout For Hope. Perhaps the greatest dobro player that ever lived. |

I'm starting to feel lke a salesman for this product but, I recently bought the "Crossroads Guitar Festival" (2 DVDs) and Jerry Douglas is all over it. He played with about half of the artist that were there over 3 days. James Taylor called him"the Muhammed Ali of the dobro!"
Music Tonight (actually this morning): John Lee Hooker-"Mr Lucky".

That def is a good Vid, Mike. I've got to just sit down and watch the whole thing once instead of jumping around in it. Hitting the over time again, auditioning a Cyro Baptista/Beat the Donkey show from way back... 4-10-05 ;D Also have another short set by a local Min'sota bluegrass band, Trampled by Turtles. I'm buying all the stock I can in these boys.  |

Hoy Hoy All, Put in John Hiatt's "Riding with the King"; what a great record. As good as the first half is Nick Lowe produces the second half and the record takes off. "Your Love is Like Blood" is one of my favorite tunes, it sounds like something Lowell would have written. The version of "Riding with the King" is even better here than B.B. King's version (with Clapton no less) and that's goin' some. Wouldn't it have been great if John and Lowell had gotten together just once, of course, the rest of the band still could, hint, hint.... Peace j |

Mike, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe have worked together quite a bit. The work on "Ridin' with the King" is the longest "block" of work I have noticed but Nick quite often shows up as a guest musician or track producer on John's work. I have also noticed that Sonny Landreth shows up a lot on this forum and he is listed as the guitar player on "The Tiki Bar is Open", he is credited as a full member of the band, "The Goners". Many years ago I saw a show that was called "The Dave Edmonds Rock and Roll Revue". Several different frontmen fronted a band that had T-Bone Burnett, Nick, Dave and an all star cast of players. Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dion, Grahamn Parker and Dave and Nick of course each fronted the band for a set. It was held at the Palace Theater in Cleveland, a great old vaudville house in playhouse square. This show had the crowd dancin' in the ailes. One of the truly great shows I have ever seen. Rock and Roll as it should be, great venue, great muscians, and no b.s. Sort of like another band I know of....they are called something like "the feet" . Peace j |

Through the '80s an annual event in Austin was "The T-Birds River Festival" on the Colorado River at the site where the statue of SRV stands today. Regulars every year were of course the T-Birds, SRV & Double Trouble, Delbert, Bonnie, ect. ect. with a non-stop two day line up, including a lot of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. Ah, the great ole daze! There were no Feat at particular time or they could have easily squeezed right in there. These were some of the most entertaining and fun shows for me. But the show that has had the most impact on me to this very day was...Little Feat, McFarland Auditorium at SMU, 1974! Runner up to that one...Little Feat, Paramount Theatre-Austin, 1975. Oh yeah, music tonight: George Jones |

Hoy Hoy All, I posted in Bill's thread about his interview in this month's "Keyboard" and his mention of musical diversity. So I thought I would tell you what I checked out of the library the other day. Graham Parker's "Mona Lisa Smile" (love his stuff) Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" (Lindsey Buckingham is a very underated guitar player to me) Radiohead "Kid A" (I wasn't crazy about OKComputer but this is better already. I like the ideas but I need to listen a few more times to get used to the execution. I'll check back) John Hiatt and the Goners "Under this Gruff Exterior". (Sonny Landreth on slide and guitars and the Goners seem to have been made permanent) Steve Earle "Transcendental Blues" (This is a great one. One of the best "alt country" records I have ever heard. Highly Recommended) Guided by Voices "Earthquake Glue". (This is a band from Dayton, Ohio and I have heard about them for years, they have been around for 20 years, and I had heard a few things but this is the first time I have given them an extended listen. Very very good. They are sort of a cross between the Who and the Kinks with a little Genesis thrown in, in an underground kind of way. Check them out they have a free web site. http://www.GuidedbyVoices.com) How's that for diversity . If you want to check stuff out before you buy it (and we all have limited budgets don't we?) don't forget the library!!! Peace j |

Hoy Hoy All
Hate to beat a dead horse but I have been listening to Steve Earle's, " Transcendetal Blues" for a while now see above post and you have to listen to this record. It is the best thing I have listened to in awhile and every time I listen it keeps getting better.
Peace

Today, before leaving for work, I grabbed Steely Dan Countdown to Ecstasy from my CD collection, and I had a chance to hear it while at work as well. I've always loved My Old School, but hearing The Boston Rag and Show Biz Kids made me wonder why it had been so long since I had pulled it from my stack of CDs. - chadgumbo |

I think there is a poly-ticks thread somewhere. ;D
