While looking for the Junior Wells song, I came across this bit of video; it is Big Mama Thornton singing her song Ball and Chain, covered by Janis Joplin along with Big Brother. Backing Big Mama on guitar is Buddy Guy. When Buddy takes the guitar break, listen and watch as you see the seeds of the guitar style later adopted by Buddy's close friend, Stevie Ray Vaughn. SRV was about 15 or 16 years old when this footage was shot, so this is a glimpse of the master who would later influence the student. A note: there is a better visual version of this footage, but this version has a superior sound quality:

I'm posting this link for those who have expressed an interest in the Blues: I got a copy of this film several years ago on a DVD I found in a bargain bin in a video store and bought for about $2.00. The story behind the film is rather interesting: In 1971, the blues-loving film crew for the TV Western series Gunsmoke had some hiatus time and took off to film a traveling Blues revue featuring, among others, Muddy Waters and Big Mama Thornton. This 'accidental documentary' filmed by the film crew for their own use is one of the best documents of what the real Blues was like:

Sorry to post more tan once a day to this thread, but I just came across a really great video posted back in mid-January on YouTube; the picture quality may not be the best, but the performance is legendary. I have heard and own several varying quality audio recordings of this, but have never before seen the film. Here is The Jimi Hendrix Experience performing live at Royal Albert Hall in 1969:

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower

Well Hendrix is... well Hendrix. His guitar work on this track is stellar as usual but what stands out on this Dylan cover to me is Mitch Mitchell's drumming. He has always been my favorite drummer.

Absolutely agree on Mitch Mitchell: very much one of the very best drummers in rock music. If you watch footage of Hendrix playing live, you will very often see how much Hendrix and Mitchell lock onto each other; Hendrix very often seems to not even acknowledge Redding's presence at all. The connection between Hendrix and Mitchell is akin to that of Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, of whom Richards has said any other member of the Stones could be replaced, but not Watts; if Watts were to leave, Keith has said, the Stones would have to fold. While it is the vocalists or the flash guitar players whom usually get the spotlights and the fame, no band would be any good without a good, solid rhythm section and drummers are the very basis of any rhythm section, rock, pop, jazz, or whatever. There used to be a club about four blocks from where I live in Hollywood that was called the Sound Check Room. It was a hangout for all levels of musicians from famous pros to local bands to amateur musicians dropping by for open mike nights. Mitch Mitchell was in town some years back and the manager of the club was able to get Mitch to come down and jam with some of the locals. He was a really good sport and the evening developed into a sort of Hendrix tribute, with various musicians playing and/or singing Hendrix numbers with Mitch providing the rhythm. He was impeccable in his playing and the gaggle of other drummers watching his every move was ample testament to his influence. He treated each performer and song with seriousness and didn't just 'call it in'. A great, great drummer and a fine, fine gentleman...

A while back, I posted a link to a video of Hendrix's Royal Albert Hall concert; I have since found a longer, more complete, and a bit better quality version of the show on Vimeo:

https://vimeo.com/164141456

If you don't want to see the full video, here is a link to Hendrix performing Roomful Of Mirrors, a song he didn't finish recording officially in his lifetime, but that he used as basis for live stage jams in his later shows; of interest here is the participation of Dave Mason and Chris Wood, then of the band Traffic, with Hendrix and the Experience:

https://vimeo.com/166280270

I have long liked this version much better than the official "completed" studio version released after Hendrix passed away...

Regarding All Along The Watchtower, Dylan was so blown away with Hendrix's version, he changed his live stage arrangement to be more like Jimi's; as Dylan, himself, said:

“It’s not a wonder to me that he recorded my songs,” Dylan himself wrote in 1988, “but rather that he recorded so few of them because they were all his.”

It is indeed a high compliment when the original writer/performer of a song adapts the song to the style of another musician's cover version; it is even higher still when that original songwriter is Bob Dylan...

Here is a link to an interesting article about how Hendrix's version of Watchtower came into being:

Thanks Vienna for that interesting stuff. More. Supposedly Mitchell got the job with Hendrix after auditioning on a coin toss. He beat out Aynsley Dunbar who went on to play with John Mayall. In 1974, he auditioned for Paul McCartney's band Wings but lost the part to Geoff Britton in another coin toss. Now that is funny.

One of my favorite guitarists, Eric Johnson on Mitchell...

“To me, he was a master painter because he didn’t just play drums, he painted beautiful orchestrations. Jimi Hendrix’s music would not have been the same without Mitch. The beautiful parts he wrote on ‘Manic Depression,’ ‘Little Wing,’ and ‘I Don’t Live Today,’ for example, helped make those songs what they are. He made the music swing, and many times his drum parts were as important as the guitar parts. There cannot be enough said about the magic, chemistry, and alchemy—the simpatico— that Jimi and Mitch shared, and we are all the richer for it.

...

You're welcome, U Crank, and thanks for the many interesting posts you have made to this thread. :salute:

Noel Redding also had an interesting path to becoming Hendrix's bass player; when he arrived at the first auditions for The Experience, he thought he was up for the slot of lead guitarist (not going to happen with Hendrix around, no matter how good any guitarist may have been); when he found out the only open slot was for a bass player, he weighed the prospect of a paying gig against continuing to beat the pavement and signed on. When it became further apparent to Redding he was not going to really have much in the way of creative input with The Experience, he developed a sort of muted hostility towards Hendrix. There were not a few reported instances of Redding making disparaging comments about Hendrix, some of which were overtly racist. It's a shame because he really was quite a fine bass player...

The Eric Johnson quote you supplied made mention of Mitch Mitchell's ability to add "swing" to his playing and it brought to mind Charlie Watts, another drummer who has been described as a "swing" drummer. Charlie may not be a flash drummer like Moon or a power drummer like Bonham, but he is, by far, one of the most respected, by his peers, drummers in music. I once read an article about the recording of a Stones album produced by an outside producer who was a big advocate of drum machines (I blame Jagger for that call); the producer said he played a track for Charlie with the drumming done by a digital machine and and he asked Charlie for his opinion; Charlie, in his usual quiet, polite manner, said it was a very nice and interesting track, but if he were playing he might have lagged the beat a bit to give texture and tension to the track; the producer immediately recognized Charlie was dead on. You might have the best drum machine in the world but it will never beat the best drummers for that 'human touch and feel'...

Charlie is one of those drummers who has to deal with the several styles and genres the Stones have used and continue to use both live and in the studio. This what makes him so versatile and valuable. Here is a track I feel showcases his ability to switch from loud rocker to jazz styles in the same number:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_9ne2FCu7I

Note the fine work of Mick Taylor, Bobby Keys, Nicky Hopkins, and Billy Preston...

This is a favorite of mine; Charlie, 65 years old, providing the driving power for the Stones in 2006:

Charlie Watts is now 75 years old and still rocking: long may he do so...

Never heard "Stormy Monday"... enjoyed that, CW :up:

I'm glad you liked it Eichhörnchen. That version of Stormy Monday was from the Album, " Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East. It is literally 46 years old today having been recorded on March 12-13, 1971 and was recorded in New York City and the album was released in July of 1971.

It is considered by many critics to be the best live album ever recorded. It featured the incomparable Duane Allman and Dicky Betts on lead guitar in various parts. The Allman Brothers band were paid $ 1250 for each night. :doh: It was Duane Allman's slide guitar work on Eric Clapton's Layla song and the Album, " Layla and other assorted love songs that moved Clapton to ask Duane Allman to join Derek and the Dominoes.

Hearing Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers years later inspired me to learn to play guitar although I can't play like Duane.

This is Another from live at the Fillmore East Featuring Duane Allman playing Slide Guitar on his Gibson Les Paul and Greg Allman on Vocals and keyboard.

Hearing Stormy Monday by the Allmans may have inspired you to pick up the guitar, but hearing Stormy Monday by the original artist inspired musicians like B. B. King and others to pick up the guitar long before the Allmans knew how to even tune a guitar. In 1947, 70 years ago this year, the great T-Bone Walker wrote and recorded the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkC5rl8K_gk

T-Bone was one of the true electric 'root blues' originators who, along with jazz players like Charlie Christian, took the electric guitar from being mainly a comping instrument in the background of a larger band and made it into a singular voice of its own. Much like the manner in which Chuck Berry and his riffs and licks wrote the 'bible' for rock guitarists, Walker laid the foundations for electric blues guitar. Go to YouTube and search for "Stormy Monday blues"; the vast number of versions and the varied genres is impressive. There are versions performed live by Cream and a live jam between SRV and Albert King, not to overlook a version by B. B. himself from "Austin City Limits". T-bone's influence was not just musical, but, also, stylistic: T-Bones stage act included such tricks as playing the guitar behind his head or back, 'picking' with his teeth, and playing solos while doing the splits; I seem to recall some fellow, Jimi I believe his name was, adopting those and other techniques from T-Bone...

A long time ago, I heard somewhere someone referring to how one can best learn how to master an art; he said it is important not just to know what you can learn from your teacher, but also what you can learn from your teacher's teacher...

Here is a sample of T-Bone live in 1965 singing Hey Baby:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eriK3nD4bQ

This clip is T-Bone Walker being backed by a guitarist who has openly and gratefully acknowledged Walker's influence on his own playing:

You don't often see Chuck yield the spotlight to another player...

You are right about T-bone walker but then again, Robert Johnson inspired T-Bone walker before T-Bone knew how to tune a guitar. Any musician or vocalist drew inspiration from someone and usually from a great number of various artists. Blues great Stevie Ray Vaughan looked to Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and probably many more for Inspiration and along the way, Stevie developed his signature sound and vocals.

Another excellent Blues guitarist and 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree is none other than Buddy Guy. Buddy and his generation helped pave the way for other aspiring Blues guitarists. Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, and Stevie Ray Vaughan among other notables looked to Buddy Guy for Inspiration. Jimmie Lee Vaughan, Stevie Ray's older brother, was one of the guitarists on stage at the Kennedy Center Honors to help pay homage to a legend.

Buddy has always been a gentleman and shares his abilities with new players now in an effort to make blues guitar music and guitar playing a viable and sustainable musical art form.

Here is Buddy Guy with then, 8 year old Quinn sullivan. This video is from 2007.

Here they are again in 2013 at Red Rocks. Quinn was 14 then.

That is a fact that can't be denied. I related the recommendation about seeking out 'your teacher's teacher' for that very reason. It is all fine and good to emulate and, hopefully, expand upon one's influences, but knowing where they got their influence(s) can shed a lot more light on a subject, whether it is music or any other subject. There may be the possibility your mentor has filtered out or even omitted some aspect of his or her own mentor's knowledge or approach, not as an act of malice, but, simply because it may have not fit their needs or wants; however, if your go back to that 'root' you may find there is/was more to the subject than thought...

There is a story Buddy Guy has told many times about himself and his own son. Buddy was a major influence on Hendrix and was openly acknowledged as such by Jimi. Buddy's son, as a teenager had gotten deeply into guitar playing, learning the basics from Buddy, but, eventually being more influenced by other then current guitarists, mainly Prince. Buddy' s son kind of considered Buddy's style as a bit 'old school'. The son devoured everything he could find about Prince and learned Prince was heavily influenced by Hendrix, so he set out to find out about Jimi. Buddy said he was at home one day and his son was in another room watching a documentary about Hendrix on TV. His son came into the room where Buddy was siting with tears in his eyes. Buddy asked him what was going on and his son told him he had just seen a clip of Hendrix talking about his own influences and had spoken very highly about Buddy and his influence on Jimi's style. Buddy's son started to apologize for having dismissed Buddy's style and said he wished he had realized just how great his father's influence had been on the very players he considered heroes...

Just another case of the influence of the influence...

Regarding T-Bone Walker, his guitar gymnastics, later copied by others such as Hendrix, SRV, etc., of playing with their teeth, behind the head, and other bits of showmanship in itself is attributed to Delta Blues pioneer and originator Charley Patton; Patton's vocal style also influenced Howlin' Wolf, and his showmanship style influenced Little Richard...

If you'd like to hear just how far back some songs can go, if you like Cream's version of Spoonful, here is Carley Patton's Spoonful Blues from 1929:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyIquE0izAg

You are so right about the influences. When I first heard Stevie Ray Vaughan, I was amazed. As I listened, I started to look through Stevie Ray's Influences and found Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and so many others. It really is like looking through the " family tree or photo albums. " The story you related regarding Buddy Guy and his son reminds me of what a guitar and music teacher once told me. " If you want to learn, look to the originators, not the imitators ." The music I was listening and learning from was 20-30 years old at least when I discovered it.

I saw the movie Crossroads which starred Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai in a guitar duel at the end of the movie. Although Steve Vai is an incredible guitarist, I was more drawn to who was playing for Ralph Macchio. It was Ry Cooder playing slide Guitar and the other parts including Paganini's 5th Caprice. I will never be able to play like them and I don't even try but for me, it set the bar pretty high.

U crank likes Eric Johnson as do I. Eric sited Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix for their Vibrato technique which he himself adapted and uses today. I posted a video a way back of Wes Montgomery which you knew of and commented on. I shouldn't have been surprised you knew of Wes. Eric Johnson was also influenced by Wes Montgomery as Eric Uses the Octave technique Pioneered by Wes Montgomery. Jazz great George Benson also uses the Octave technique and does it well.

As far as Stormy Monday, T Bone created the song but I like the Allman Brothers version the best but that's just me. I once heard Little Richard say that he invented Rock and Roll. I found that to be an arrogant comment and presumption as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rockabilly Pioneer Carl Perkins and one of my favorites, Fat Domino among so many others, helped create and usher in Rock and Roll Music. Thanks Vienna for posting the Information that you did.

The videos below are not only of new and old style guitar playing but also of the older and venerable Fender Telecastor guitar with single coil " lipstick " pickups vs the newer style " Super Strat " Jackson heavy metal guitar with the hotter dual coil " humbucking " pickups and Floyd Rose double locking tremolo / bridge.

This is unfortunately the shortened version of the crossroads duel

James Cotton, legendary Blues harpist, passed away at the age of 81 today. Considered to be a "players player" by other harpists and highly respected by other musicians, in and out of the Blues circles, Cotton's career spanned nearly seven decades and his influence will live on long into the future:

The recent loss of Chuck Berry and the loss of musical talent this year and last year has served as a reminder that nothing lasts forever. The ravages of time generally isn't kind to musically talented performers, especially vocalists. The grueling tour schedules coupled with late nights and lack of sleep, poor diets and lack of exercise takes it's toll. In some cases, alcohol and drug abuse makes a bad situation even worse.

There are however artists whose abilities and vocal ranges have not been diminished by time and seem to be as remarkably fresh as when their songs were first recorded. One such artist is Gary Brooker, lead singer and founding member of Procol Harum. This video is from an appearance in Denmark in 2006 and it appears Gary has lost little if anything of his vocal abilities. Gary puts everything into this song even though he has performed it countless times. It's nice to be able to recognize these songs and performers when they are still alive who have in essence, written the musical soundtracks to our lives.

Whiter shade of Pale is one of those songs that is instantly identifiable with just a few notes . This song easily lends itself to an orchestral arrangement and the backing and accompaniment of an orchestra only enhances what was already a beautiful song.

Although Steve Vai is an incredible guitarist, I was more drawn to who was playing for Ralph Macchio. It was Ry Cooder playing slide Guitar and the other parts including Paganini's 5th Caprice. I will never be able to play like them and I don't even try but for me, it set the bar pretty high.

...

Crossroads is a favorite movie for me, also; I still dig it out from time to time and re-watch it; one of my favorite scenes is when Willie Brown gives Eugene a bit of a down-notching:

Willie Brown: You got your mind made up about how everything works, don't you? How you gonna learn anything new when you know everything already?

[He picks up Eugene's old, scratched acoustic guitar]

Look at this old guitar you been squeaking on. I bet you saw this thing in a music store and bought it just because you thought it was beat up. Well, you got it all wrong. Muddy Waters invented electricity!Here is a link to an article about the guitar playing aspects of the film:

http://www.guitarworld.com/artist-news-artist-videos-blogs/forgotten-guitar-crossroads-and-its-unsung-guitar-hero-arlen-roth

Ry Cooder is, without a doubt, one of the finest, cleanest, and authentic slide guitar players around today, up there with Bonnie Raitt and Roy Rogers (not the movie cowboy). Back in 1972, the Rolling Stones released an album of takes from a jam session involving Jagger, Watts, Wyman, pianist extraordinaire Nicky Hopkins, and Ry Cooder. Reportedly, Keith had stormed out of a recording session, some say after a disagreement about Cooder; Cooder had played on some tracks for the Let it Bleed album and was, at one time, rumored to be a possible replacement for Brian Jones who was on the cusp of getting the boot. Also rumored was Eric Clapton, and Ronnie Wood was actually selected by the Stone to replaces Brian in 1969 but he lost out when his band mates in the Faces, fearful of losing Wood without his knowledge, intercepted Jagger's call and told the Stones Wood wasn't interested; Wood, in fact, had for a long time really wanted to join the Stones. Neither Wood, at that time, nor Cooder got the gig, but album of the jam sessions was released as Jamming With Edward. You sort of have to be a real fan of all things Stones in order to really want to listen to the whole album since it is just a collection of sometimes rambling jams; there is one "real song" on the album, a cover of a slow Elmore James number:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iecNn2E1guQ

Speaking of Bonnie Raitt and Roy Rogers, here they are together live:

Commander, you mentioned Delbert McClinton, someone who falls into the category of "greatly overlooked musicians". His contributions have far exceed his fame and it somehow seems more than just a little unjust. First heard of him when I won a prize on a radio call-in quiz; the exact prize wasn't specified; days later I received in the mail an LP by a duo named Delbert & Glen. I don't know whatever happened to Glen, but Delbert sure made name for himself...

This last video is by a young lady who plays a mean blues guitar: Samantha Fish...

All I can say is wow. I was not familiar with Samantha Fish. Thanks to you Vienna, I am now. I have known a number of women guitarists, one in particular that could play and swap guitar parts with anyone, in whatever style you wanted as well.

I didn't know about Arlen Roth's role in the movie crossroads. I'm happy that Stevie Vai came out in Guitar World to talk of Arlen's creative involvement in the movie. Although not well known, Stevie Vai was a student himself of guitarist extraordinaire Joe Satriani. Joe had said that Stevie was already a great guitarist and both of these gentleman are humble in how they approach guitar playing.

I'm a fan of Bonnie Raitt and have most if not all of her albums. Ry Cooder and Duane Allman among others stand out though as " slide guitar " players for me though.

You had mentioned those guitarists that had never been fully appreciated.

Roy Linwood Clark and Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell comes to mind. Roy Clark can play anything with strings. The incomparable Chet Atkins with his string skipping technique is in the mix as well.

Thanks for the links Vienna. I'll be sure to check out more Samantha Fish

Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed are indeed great players. Glen Campbell, even though he is a famous star in his own right is well remembered here in Hollywood as being once a member of the highly admired and regarded group of session musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew", the cream of Musician's Local #47. Campbell was a standout in a gathering of standouts. They backed pretty much every pop, rock, C&W, or nearly any other genre artists recording in Hollywood. Glen provided guitar work on albums or singles by the Beach Boys, The Monkees, and the Byrds, as well as other 'straight' acts like Sinatra, King Cole, Dean Martin, etc. He was the entire package: singer, songwriter, arranger, producer and more. It is a shame Alzheimer's has taken its toll on him; just yesterday, I heard a report on the radio of his wife saying Glen's condition has progressed so much, he can no longer play or hold a guitar...

Roy Clark is in a class of his own. Back in about the mid 60s or so, I saw him on a TV show where talked about not being a very good finger-picker and how he had learned to adapt finger-style compositions to flat-pick style. He then played his version of a Spanish finger-style number he had just recently sussed out; he was very nervous about playing the song and was visibly sweating even as he started to play. The number he was trying out later became a staple of his stage act and almost a signature number. This video shows him playing a composition that even for adept finger-pickers can be challenging; the first and last bit of the video is a bit marred by some long ago TV producer trying to add some psychedelic touches:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxDQQDF6j0Y

Speaking of the Malaguena and referring back to female guitarists, a lot of people are unaware of one lady who, although best known as as the "Cuchi-Cuchi" girl, is a really great classical Spanish guitarist. Charo was, at a very young age, a student of Andres Segovia:

Why are you apologizing? You didn't post the video to YouTube... :up:

I would like to say something about the videos posted to YouTube. Before YouTube, I used to watch those "Greatest Hits" commercials on TV where they would show a few seconds of some of the performances of those great musical acts and think "I don't really care about buying an album set, but if they'd just sell videos of the performances, I know I'd be very interested." We now have the ability to see, very often in live performances, some of the greatest artists of the past several decades on demand. Being able to see Muddy Waters, Wes Montgomery, Hendrix, the Motown and Stax artists, and the countless other performers in other musical styles is something you could only do if you spent hours in some public or private archive. We are indeed blessed...

As far as the quality is concerned, I am reminded of something I read long ago, I believe it was in the book Steppenwolf; the main character is having a dream sequence and he comes upon Mozart listening to a radio playing one of his compositions; the radio signal has a lot of static and the main character says to Mozart, " How can you stand to listen to that music with all that static?"; Mozart responds: "You may listen to the static; I prefer to listen to the music"...

Just wanted to share a couple of articles, both interviews:

Keith Richards on the passing of Chuck Berry and Chuck's influence on music --

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-chuck-berry-keith-richards-appreciation-qa-20170325-story.html

There are a couple of quotes by the interviewer that gave me pause to ponder:

...

When was the last time you got together with him?

The last time I saw Chuck was in Boston , he got the [PEN New England’s Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence] award. Apparently, it was the first time they sort of acknowledged that songwriting could possibly be called literature. [He laughs.] Chuck was the first recipient, and I was there for him for that, and that was the last time I saw him. But we passed a few notes since.

[I]Wasn’t that the ceremony where they also honored Leonard Cohen, and Cohen said, “All of us are footnotes to the words of Chuck Berry”?

Yeah, that was it.

Bob Dylan once said, “People don’t always realize how powerful the innovators are. Take someone like Chuck Berry. When his records came out, they were dangerous. There was nothing like them on the radio, they were like a stampede. Now all these bands just play it louder and faster and don’t really add anything to it. And so Chuck Berry, the creator, sounds ‘quaint’ and ‘old-fashioned.’… [Those records] are important pieces of art, and art isn’t looked at as something old or new, it’s looked at as something that moves ya.”

...

The reference by/to Dylan caused me to think about how some of Dylan's tunes could be very easily re-imagined as being sung by Chuck; for example, Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965) owes more than a little to Too Much Monkey Business (1956); the rapid fire lyric delivery combined with a sort of rising and falling lope to the lyrical rhythm is common to both...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2nRjGHE620

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0

John Lydon, "Johnny Rotten" of the Sex pistols, on his life in music and other observations --

https://www.yahoo.com/music/john-lydon-talks-new-book-old-memories-and-trumps-deeply-hilarious-presidency-003028588.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5S-q1gRxvw

I once saw John Lydon at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go, just after the breakup of the Sex Pistols, ca. 1979, not as a performer, but as a patron. He had flown his mother over from the UK and he took her to spend the day at Disneyland (that must have been a sight to see); Lydon was sitting at a table with a number of music industry people and some of the local music scene; he kept referring to Disneyland as 'Dismal-Land' and wondered aloud how Disney had managed to enthrall so many people with a place built around a mouse (or as we wee young 'uns used to sing along with the TV, "M-O-U-S-E!")...

Most people know Sam & Dave as the guys who recorded Soul Man or Hold on I'm Coming, but they were more than just soul music 'pop' stars; they were genuine talents who had a power as a duo few other acts have ever reached. The real pity of it all is the fact they really hated each other's guts and it led to the dissolution of one of the finest musical partnerships ever seen:

Canned Heat - Mercury Blues / Sister Rosetta Tharpe - This Train

Both great recordings and both performances by great artists. I first heard of Sister Rosetta from my first ex, who is a big folk music fan...

I had been tempted in the past few weeks to post something about Canned Heat, who are a much underrated band. In particular, I wanted to focus on one particular member of Canned Heat, Al "Blind Owl" Wilson. A lot of people don't know it was Al who actually sang the lead vocal on a few of Heat's best known hits, not Bob Hite. Al was a multi-instrumentalist who was known for being a perfectionist. He was highly intelligent and well versed in the history and techniques of the Blues. He was also very troubled and rumored to be autistic, to some degree, and possibly bi-polar. He was a genius on the slide guitar and admired by many other guitarists in the Blues and folk scenes. Al tried to commit suicide a couple of times and, unfortunately, died in a suspect drug overdose, suspect because many feel the death was not an accident, but the culmination of Al's desire to commit suicide. Al became the second member of the infamous "27 Club" of musicians who died at age 27; his death was over shadowed by the deaths of Hendrix and Joplin in the weeks following Wilson's demise...

Canned Heat recorded an album in 1970 with one of their idols, John Lee Hooker entitled Hooker And Heat; here is Al playing harp with The Hook:

Here is Al singing a Canned Heat classic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QexOuH8GS-Y

Speaking of slide guitar geniuses, I found this while surfing around YouTube; I can't believe I never heard of this guitarist before; to say her playing is stunning is an understatement. It is well worth the effort to look up her videos. Here is the amazing Joanna Connor:

Here is another great guitarist a lot of people might not have heard: Junior Brown. He's been around a long time and is known mainly in Country & Western circles, but he doesn't get the same recognition a lot of the bigger names draw; his style is decidedly retro-Western, not like the more 'pop-ish' Country music now in vogue, and he's doesn't fit into the younger image Country has been putting forward. I've been following his recordings for a couple of decades now since I saw him perform live on a TV show. He is also known as the creator of the Guit-Steel, a hybrid of a regular 6-string guitar and a steel guiltar...

Here he is singing his song about something quite few of us have complained about in other threads:

After countless hours in-game I developed a playlist of songs of the WWII period. Some are earlier but would be easily found on radio of the day. Some were big new hits in the 40's It makes the game seem just that much more immersive.

Though I generally listen to a playlist that I've developed on my Windows Media Player, most of the songs are available on you-tube as well. Here's a link to the you-tube version of the list.

When people think of The Byrds, they almost immediately think of Roger McGuinn, or, maybe David Crosby; few think about Gene Clark, who was a lead vocalist, harp player, and songwriter for the group. Most of the well-known hits of The Byrds were either written or co-written by Clark. Here are two of his best known compositions:

My taste in music runs to all types, particularly non-mainstream music. I have long enjoyed the musical stylings of Max Raabe & Palast Orchester, ever since I first saw them in a live presentation on PBS several years ago. They are excellent musicians and put on a great show. The basic premise is that of a German pre-WWII, Wiemar-era big band. They do a lot of the early music, but they also extend into interpretations of some more modern numbers, done in the Wiemar style; they have a very funny version of Oops, I Did It Again. This is Max & The Palast Orchester's version of the Prince song Kiss. Somehow, Max manages to make the song sound even more salacious than Prince's original was ever accused of being:

vienna

04-15-17, 04:34 AM

No harshness intended; "steal from the best" is an old common phrase used in variety of fields and very often in the arts and there very often with a nod and a wink...

Besides Zep and DP, Michael Jackson was widely reputed to have been less than truthful about the sources of many of "his" songs. There has been a long list of lawsuits by a large number of songwriters/musicians/singers who claimed Jackson lifted whole or part of their compositions. Jackson would try to bury the plaintiffs under legal paperwork and maneuvering, with occasional visits from one of his known fixers, and, failing that, he would settle quietly out of court for goodly sums of money. This does not include situations where he found or was brought a song and the proviso for him recording it would be that he would get a songwriting credit, with royalties, and sometimes a bit of the publishing rights. There were rumors around the music scene here in LA of some songwriters who tried to buck Jackson winding up find themselves with very little opportunity to work afterwards, a sort of "you'll never work in this town again" situation. The music business can, indeed, be ugly...

Speaking of 'theft', I recall when Vanilla Ice used sampling to create his one big hit, Ice, Ice Baby, lifting basically the whole of the Queen/Bowie composition, Under Pressure. Vanilla Ice, on hearing Queen, in particular, were very upset about the 'lift', said "Queen can kiss my lily white ass!" There was a subsequent interview with Brian May where the interviewer brought up Vanilla Ice's statement; May responded by saying Queen had heard the statement and responded by "suing his lily white ass" and Queen won that battle...

Zep liberally 'borrowed' from several Willie Dixon compositions and, at the urging of his grandchildren, he finally got lawyers to sue Zep for their transgressions. With all the back royalties and damages he won in his court case, Willie was able to set up the Blues Heaven Foundation to aid older Blues performers who were in need of assistance and to try to preserve the history and culture of the Blues; he was even able to buy the old Chess Records building in Chicago, where he had worked as a performer, songwriter, arranger and producer, to serve as a headquarters and museum for his foundation...

I was moving around my vinyl albums the other day and I found an old supergroup album that featured Dylan, Jagger, Lennon, and McCartney. It brought back fond memories of the late 60s when all sorts of recording artists were forming ad hoc groups to make albums: Blind Faith, Bloomfield/Cooper/Stills, CSN&Y, etc., but this was a historic blending of talents who, in order to maintain a degree of anonymity (and to avoid contract conflicts beteween the record labels) performed under the nom de plume, The Masked Marauders. Take one of the main cuts as an example - Dylan and Jagger sing together:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni64iISRIJY

Yes, it's not real: the whole album grew out of a joke review by a music critic at Rolling Stone Magazine; he wrote about this fictitious assemblage as a parody of all the real life 'supergroups' and collaborations springing up at the time. However, there were an awful lot of people who believed the review was real and flooded record stores with requests for the album, which caused the stores to try seeking out which label was distributing the album. The editors at Rolling Stone were so amused they hired some musicians to record the parody and Warner Records released the album and a single from the album. The thing actually sold over 100,000 copies...

...of course, not all customers were satisfied:

This number was actually the single taken from the album (B-Side: Cowpie); I had a bit of fun when the single came out and I went to special order it since almost all the record stores wouldn't stock it because of the title. I went to the local Sears store, where I had special ordered other records; the man behind the countered was middle-aged and looked every inch like a Nixon supporter (remember this was 1969); he asked me for the name of the single so he could look it up on the listings; when I told him, he turned various shades of red and pink and became very flustered and demanded to know if I was playing some sort of joke; I told him no, it was a legitimate record; he looked it up, found it, became more confused and upset than ever; he actually got on the phone and called the record distributor to verify the single's existence; in the end, he had to take my order. It arrived later in the week, and, when I went to pick it up, it was given to me in plain brown paper wrapper, by the same fellow, who handled it as if it were nuclear waste...

BTW, a few years later someone else perpetrated another great hoax by releasing an album titled The Best Of Marcel Marceau: the album consisted of two sides, each a long stretch of absolute silence: the punchline to this hoax for those not familiar with Marceau - he was a very famous French mime...

I also have admired her voice. In a time when female singers were of the delicate folk singer-ish style, she was, as you said, dark and powerful; she had an almost cabaret tinge to her singing. I have long thought Grace Slick got a lot of her style from Judy...

I just recently became aware off this young man, Toby Lee. He is an English lad who has been making YouTube vids for a few years now, mainly at home, in his bedroom, in his PJs, playing along to a backing track. To say he is amazing would be a disservice to his talents. If you get the chance to browse through his vids, it is well-worth the time...

I chose this vid because 1) It was the first of his vids I viewed; 2) His playing in this vid is jaw-dropping; watch his right hand technique: there are far more experienced adult players who do not have the same degree of flow and instinct Toby Lee possesses:

Toby was 10 years old when he made this vid: he's now 12 years old and, scary idea to the other guitar slingers out there, he's only going to get better...

I really like both the bass, and the 6 string in this one.

It all flows really well, relaxed, yet it actually does something!

And this one is just hilarious!

The Airplane video is from an appearance on The Smothers Brothers Show in the late 60's; the bands on most TV shows on CBS at the time who appeared live actually would record a backing track, minus vocals, and mime playing their instruments while singing along to the recorded track live. The song is great and, as you pointed out, the six-string guitar and bass are particularly good, but, then, what can one expect from Jorma Kaukonen, a great master of reverbed guitar and Jack Casady, probably one of the coolest bass players, ever...

The "Beep, Beep" was a big hit when it was released; I remember the song fondly. Thanks for posting!...

LaVern Baker - Jim Dandy

Godfrey - Let's Take A Trip (1965)

Love LaVern Baker, but every time I hear Jim Dandy, it reminds me of the godawful version done by Black Oak Arkansas; fortunately, LaVern had plenty of other great songs...

Godfrey was actually a DJ in Los Angeles in the 60s, and his release of this song was actually a cover of the first single released by Kim Fowley entitled just The Trip. Kim's single was a local hit in Southern California; when Godfrey recorded his version, the backing band was a now-legendary, and still active, LA Chicano group, Thee Midniters. Thee Midniters played a concert at the LA high school I was attending at the time and I remember them playing this song and I also remember there was a bit of grumbling among a few of the teaching staff and a few of the more conservative students in regard to the lyrics...

Good choices!...

I was going to post a number by Thee Midniters, but I came across another odd number related to the Godfrey post. As noted before, Godfrey was a local LA DJ and friends with Thee Midniters; this is a number I wasn't aware of before and is another Godfrey single; to put it in context, Whittier Blvd. is a main thoroughfare on the East side of LA, heavily Latino, and usually referred to as just East LA. Whittier Blvd. has long been the go to spot for weekend cruising by the car clubs and their aficionados. Thanks again to fumo30 for bringing up Godfrey and steering me towards this number; here is Godfrey, Thee Midniters and their take on Whittier Blvd. in the 60s:

The wonders of the Internet, YouTube in particular, never cease to amaze me. Through a long, convoluted thought process (which is the norm for me), I came to remember seeing Joan Jett for the first time. I have mentioned before having worked in a rock club, which was an all ages place. Joan was a regular patron at the club and, from the first time I met her, she was a huge Suzi Quatro fan. Joan used to dress up like Suzi, in all black leather, shades on, even at night, and she carried around a bass guitar, in a case, everywhere she went; she eventually somehow managed to get a very petite young girl (she was barely bigger than the bass case) to follow her around, carrying the bass for her. It was at the club where she met Kim Fowley, who was in the process of forming an all-girl rock band and Joan was just tailor made to fill the role as a band member: she had the look, the attitude, the ambition, and a bit better than rudimentary musical ability. Joan became a founding member of The Runaways and a rock star in her own right...

I would see her, occasionally, at various clubs and other places over the years; one memorable occasion was at the Whisky-A-Go-Go, on the Sunset Strip. it was in the late 70s and Punk had just started to gain attention in LA. A local Punk/Electronica group, the Screamers, were performing and I went to catch the show. The very first act on the bill was a pathetically laughable mess of a band called Baby Blue, fronted by a local celeb named Angelyne who, like the Kardashians a few decades later, had no real talents and was famous just for being famous. Angelyne was no great singer and resorted to wearing an outfit of Frederick's Of Hollywood lingerie and moving about the stage like a second rate stripper; the audience reaction, to be kind, was highly unenthusiastic. Right in the middle of Angelyne's second or third song, I spotted Joan Jett walking in the door. She looked at the stage and froze on the spot. This was followed by a very angry reaction from Joan and an angry, emphatic volley of words I could couln't hear over the loud music, but I assumed the words were not complimentary. A couple of her friends grabbed her and took her to the back of the club where I lost sight of her; a few minutes later, Joan reappeared, holding a drink and still very pissed off at the travesty onstage. She stomped up to the edge of the stage and launched another colorful verbal attack demanding the band get off stage, which had the effect of making Angelyne cringe back; the words were then finally punctuated by Joan throwing the drink at Angelyne who gave a yelp, and tottered off the stage as fast as her stilettos would allow her. Joan was roundly cheered and Baby Blue/Angelyne, never (dis)graced the Whisky stage again...

Joan is the real deal, a full on Rocker. Starting from an admiration of Suzi Quatro, she survived the Runaways and made a name for herself in the music business; a couple of years back, she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. This clip is Joan singing a song very much in the style of her idol, Suzi:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSqp-W1pWoU

Here is Joan's idol Suzi Quatro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eB-yAOzH5Q

...and now for the wonders of the Internet and YouTube; as part of the long, convoluted process that led me to recall Joan Jett, I got on YT and was browsing for Joan and Suzi vids and came across a surprising nugget -- a video clip of a 1968 performance by an all-girl band called the Pleasure Seekers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD0JRdIGwoo

The young lady singing lead, and displaying some 'groovy, boss' dance moves is none other than Suzi Quatro, a few years before moving to the UK and becoming a star. Incidentally, a couple of the other band members are actually Suzi's sisters; the very tall guitar player is the sister Suzi has jokingly referred to a her 'twin' sister...

One of the great things great musicians do is to give recognition to those who came before them who don't often get the same sort of fame and attention they enjoy. Both the Beatles and the Stones, among others, have recorded songs by this composer/performer/producer; in addition, he was a close friend of and collaborator with Little Richard, penning a few of the Reverend's early hits. If you ever heard Dizzy Miss Lizzy or Bony Maronie, you heard the songwriting of Larry Williams. Although most of the public is unaware of William's talent and contributions, he was respected by fellow musicians. Unfortunately, drugs and a propensity for violent episodes cut short his life and he died in his mid-forties. What he left behind was a musical legacy that inspired a good many of the British Invasion and US groups of the 60s...
