Title: Re: Still the God Post by: WU2D on July 27, 2014, 07:37:18 AM I try to get to shows where the "old guys and girls" are still making noise. Last year I saw Rick Derringer, Dave Mason and Gary Wright. Like us, they are not going to be there forever. We just lost Johnny Winter.

Cale has been gone for a year now, but Eric Clapton and friends, including Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, and Derek Trucks have a new album coming out this week (tomorrow 7/29) in tribute to The Breeze and his music. I heard a preview on iTunes this weekend and it is excellent.
Was sad to see JW pass- I think he was the headliner at the first "big name" rock concert I ever attended, was at the old Portchester, NY Capitol Theater in maybe 1970 or 71. I think I was home from URI on Christmas vacation at the time. I believe he also had his brother Edgar's band on the show bill.

Bill Monroe taught em all how to rock and roll and was the man for more than six decades. We'll never see that again. Title: Re: Still the God Post by: AJ1G on August 10, 2014, 10:34:05 AM This gem came up while I was listening to the Rockabilly Revival station on Pandora the other day. Bill Kirchen, who originally did this with Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, romps through an 8 minute plus live version of Hot Rod Lincoln and brings in a whole pantheon of rock and roll gods along the way, here's a link to the best YouTube version:

I believe the album was titled "Empty Room" but I may be wrong on that.
Will have to put it on my old AR turntable into the Dynaco tube amplifier! Joe, GMS Title: Re: Still the God Post by: w1vtp on August 10, 2014, 01:20:08 PM Here's some nice up close chat and finger magic - Bill Kirchen

His music background isn't like the mainstream and he has a unique sound and think he's very talented.

He's come up on a few of my Pandora stations. Here's a link to his website: http://www.johnnya.com/ Gonna check out his new album on iTunes. Title: Re: Still the God Post by: W1RKW on August 11, 2014, 03:28:17 PM Hi Chris, AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
I have all his albums. Love his music and style. His technique, at least in that video, is reminiscent of Chet Atkins and that is one of many of his influences. He's played down here. One of his last appearances in the local area and small venue was at the Knickerbocker a couple of years ago which is not to far from you. Seems like his venues are getting larger which is good but then again no so good. |
