Music: Your flavor of the month?

One of my favorite songs to sing

 

Yeah, Steve Miller and William Royce (a.k.a. Boz Scaggs) ere classmates in HS and played in a few different named bands together before their eventual success.

Humble Pie "Smokin'" sans Peter Frampton, was a fav album for me...actually it was a cassette, and I played the hell out of it.

"How you doin' boy
You're here for thirty days
Get, get, get, get your long hair cut
And cut out your ways"

 

Van Morrison, very under-rated songwriter.

 

Steely Dan is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them many times (mostly while Walter was alive). They have the best musicians you will find in any band in my opinion.

 

I was listening to Skunk Baxter talking about being in Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers at the same time...he said he never got his picture on the Doobie's album covers because of that.

 

Another one hit wonder...great vocals and lyrics and eerily soulful guitar licks;

 

This song changed my life when I heard it on the radio...I think it was the longest song to chart at the time...Duane Allman and Boz Skaggs.....this is a great, great recording! The Muscle Shoals band that recorded with Etta James and Wilson Pickett back in the day.. Enjoy!

 

Well done, really enjoyed!
Great song.....

 

Just submitted my final mixed masters for the new Crystal Furs single. It's the best we've ever sounded, imho. I can't wait to show it off.

 

Tag me or some shit when it comes out, I'd like to hear it. Haven't listened to any of your music yet and I'm not even sure if what I've found online is the same band lmao but if it is, you pick nice artwork for your music.



song unrelated ofc

 

That's Ray Davies and the Kinks...guy who sang Lola

 

Oh, the song was unrelated, I know that. This is the page I was looking at, in reference to the pretty artwork. The Kinks song was just to stay on topic.

Wow, what a coincidence....I was listening to "Layla" with Duane Allman playing slide. I read somewhere that reportedly, Duane turned Clapton onto playing slide more often. Then played Greg Allman "Playin' up a Storm" album...(LP, of course) ...1st track, "The Brightest Smile in Town". ....................Still listening.

Saw the Allman Bros in Macon circa '76-'78"?...and about 1/2 way through the show they brought a guy out of the audience to sing a few songs...It was Jimmy Hall from "Wet Willie"...and Mr Hall did about a 10 minute version of this song, with a lot of minutes covering words and topics that could not be recorded for an album. The song is pretty much all about this guy who has his eye on a certain girl, and it's killing him.

It's worth a listen............Jimmy Hall has an incredible voice.

 

will do! here’s our site:

I saw Wet Willie many times...the last time they opened for Sha na na and the J Geils band in 72 or 3

 

I got to see Bruce on his Slice of Life tour and meet him and talk with him, thank him for the inspiration...discovered his music when I was traveling in Canada as a young man and have always considered him a huge influence..his lyrics are the best.

 

Bruce is a strange one. It's hard to describe his music, it's so diverse. More of a lyricist than like a radio oriented artist? I like it. Hear him all the time in Toronto.

 

He just made an album recently of only guitar..no singing...he's a brilliant guitarist...I've been a fan since around 71....I have 5 or 6 of his albums but the live double album "Slice of Life" is incredible. I was lucky to see that show...he wrote me a nice note on the sleeve of the CD and talked about the times..I was so impressed that he took 15 minutes to hang out and have a conversation. When he travels to Africa or Nepal or Central America he loads the small planes he travels on with rice and supplies for the locals...he's a true humanitarian

 

Taste of his instrumental work from his live "Circles in the Stream"
