Had never heard of them and piqued by the presence of the Isle Of Man flag. LA group that's uber popular in the UK.

and right from Wiki: "The group's pop sound on their studio work stands in contrast to the more rock-based music of their live shows."

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. Frankly, I haven't been impressed by their stuff I've heard in the past. This video sounds like a completely different band.

I've been wasting my time lately watching rock band documentaries on youtube. The other night I watched a great one on the Small Faces. Last night I watched one on Mott the Hoople. I go down these rabbit holes and my wife wonders where the hell I was all night. Here's a couple by Mott.

It's fun isn't it?

I usually start with something in my head and then click into shit that 5 people have heard before (like the song I posted just above you.)

It was "Sweathogs" that pulled me in.

Found this after some Kinks listening.

Odd how certain songs will just pop into your head...

This one came up completely out of the blue today.

I was trying to imagine some Eno/Manzanara/801 as 'Yacht Rock' of a sort. Maybe? The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch on Key West?

I was never more hipster than when the first post-Roxy Eno and Manzanara records came out. So damn hip. Great records, too bad no one bought them.

I used to lose my mind trying to figure out what the hell the backing vocals were saying in 'Miss Shapiro'.

Not the chorus...

Smoky broads and smoky windows in the square
Come come charmer come on over for the day
Disappearing cocoa forests flash and die
Fortunes crumble all demolished in the bay

But rather the...

Tremendous Hammond sound! The rotating Leslie sets my soul on fire.

This certainly qualifies this as 'old timey' by my standards. If a dinosaur ran over the Golden Gate Bridge and headed north on the 101 tomorrow, it would still be a dinosaur. Even if it crushed and ate a few Teslas in Marin.

Lamarr does a nice job covering the bass line with his left hand and peddles. The drummer and guitar player are pretty good too. In the groove. I'd like to see Lamarr play with a more creative guitarist. Though perhaps he cranks it up on other songs not shown here.

I'd go see them play if they toured around here. I'll look for some of them video thingies to satisfy my curiosity until then.

The band is probably Quentin Warren on guitar and Billy Hart on drums. They can really play.

In the other thread I noted that I saw the Pretenders in a tiny Denver venue, the Rainbow Music Hall. They were pretty much at their peak, so that occurred because they wanted a warmup show before going on a big stadium tour with the Kinks. It was fun, and I was a bit surprised at what a tight live band they were.

My favorite Pretenders album is their very first one, which was released in 1979. Funny thing is that the one song from that album that still gets radio play (Brass in Pocket) is imho among the weakest tracks. Here are my two favorites from that album:

nice sc...god you're reminding me how much i loved The Pretenders, esp those first two albums (and EP!). so true on Brass in Pocket; i mean from a record company standpoint it's the perfect (only?) single from that disc and "fine" but so skippable. Try just playing the album from "Precious" to someone who's only ever heard their "safe" songs :)

Good work, boys. Freddie King and Nick Lowe are each priceless, in their own unique ways.

Marie Provost did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
In the cheap hotel up
On Hollywood West July 29
She'd been lyin' there
For two or three weeks
The neighbors said
They never heard a squeak
For hungry eyes that could not speak
Said even little doggie's have got to eat
She was winner
The became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
(But now I see) Oh poor Marie

It is some nasty dirty blues. Went on a bit of tangent after seeing a clip of the the vinyl playing on a buddy's FB. May have listened to an album or three.

Great song off a great album. (I am new to Spotify. I am convinced that it is the greatest thing ever.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJa1B89Z3bk

Fantastic lyrics too.

Don't get me wrong it ain't that bad and I appreciate your work
I don't drink as much I don't swear as much you even made me go to church
But now I'm sitting here looking back wearing this stupid sweater
Truth be told I've got to say I liked the old me better

Wow. Great intro into who she is. I need more. Just like I hope Leon Bridges delivers more as he ages.

Best musician I've played with

Post by DC47 »

Circa 1974 I played trombone one night with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis band. The lead singer was a young Dee Dee Bridgewater. The band was astonishing; she blew my mind. She was also the most attractive woman I've ever met. Quite a night to remember at age 17.
