radiophonic Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 PiL's 'Album' was a bit of a shocker when it was released. Rotten fronting a band comprising various permutations of Steve Vai, Bill Laswell, Jonas Hellborg, Tony Williams and Ginger Baker. Tremendous in every respect of course, but unexpected.

casapete Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Keith Richards has recorded with some maybe unlikely artists, including Feargal Sharkey, Max Romeo and Tom Waits. Keith also played bass on Billy Preston's album 'That's the way God planned it'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Steve Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Tom Jones and New Model Army - Gimme Shelter. Admittedly it was a deliberately strange mix for a charity single - I seem to remember Sam Fox with Hawkwind also doing a cover of the song. But the Tom Jones/NMA version is an absolute cracker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're familiar the three or four albums he released before the Sunn O))) collaboration, then it just seems like a perfectly logical progression! I still think it's one of the best new albums I've heard in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ended up doing a whole, different, album. I still can't decide if I like Soused or not. I definitely need to be in the right mood for it.

Dom in Dorset Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Scaffold's Lily the Pink "Backing vocalists on the recording included Graham Nash (of The Hollies), Elton John (then Reg Dwight), and Tim Rice;[1] while Jack Bruce (of Cream) played thebass guitar" The band have also said that a little known guitarist called Jimi Hendrix did some session work for them around that time and that he might well have also been on that record.

Cato Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Not to speak ill of the dead, but I'm not sure this was anybody's finest hour. Although, listening to it again for the first time in a long time, it does have an almost Jim-Morrison-going-off-on-one Doors like quality. Not sure if that's a positive or not.

Cato Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 John Paul Jones played on and did arrangements on recordings for an absolute shedload of bands and solo performers during the 60s, from the Shadows to Donovan to Dusty Springfield via the Rolling Stones. He also wrote the strings arrangement for REM's 'Everybody Hurts'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
