Jonesy Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 I've only just come across this and thought I'd break the mould a bit by posting a full album........ Albert King, Steve Cropper and Pop Staples jamming out some ace tunes. What's not to love about this? Really excellent work on bass and drums too. I can't find any info on the other musicians on the LP, so if anyone knows then I'd love to hear who's doing what! 1 Quote

That's quite poor, none of the usual sites (All music, Discogs) have any additional muso credits. Al Jackson Jr and Booker T have producer credits, so I ' d guess it was Al on drums, Booker T on keys and Donald Duck Dunn on bass. They were the house band on a lot of Stax recordings.

Those sites were my first port of call too, I've tried to find pics of the original LP to see if there's any mention of personnel but it doesn't look like anyone is listed there either. I've just seen this site.... https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/steve-cropper-pops-staples-albert-king/jammed-together/ One person there mentions Jackson on drums but drops Isaac Hayes as keys. Can't say I know either of them well enough to say it sounds like one over the other tbf. No mentions of a bass player, but it could well be Dunn - good shout! 1 Quote
Paul S Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 My band are going through a bit of a Lonnie Mack phase, currently learning a few of his tunes to play in our set. Here's a splendidly soulful waltz, Stop. Quote

Here's a splendidly soulful waltz, Stop. I remember in the 90s my dad recorded a concert from the TV which was Lonnie, Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan at Carnegie Hall. Lonnie looked exactly the same as the photo on your clip (same hat and guitar) so I reckon it was around the time he released this. They played Stop and I used to wear that bit of the tape out (and Albert Collins (wasn't too fussed about the Roy Buchanan bits). It was almost verbatim to this version except for a comedy "over-emphasising every hit" drummer who was fun to watch at the same time! 1 Quote
Paul S Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I must shamefully admit I had never heard of him until guitarist in my band flagged him up. I've seen that clip, it's there on YouTube, and agree - especially about the drummer Lonnie is by some margin the pick of the players on that night. Weird, and a bit sad, that he never made it big as he was very much a pioneer of a lot of stuff. He released a record in his twilight years 'too rock for country, too country for rock'. The guitar was his thing - the Flying V with a whammy bar and very much a part of his sound, even in the early 60s. We are putting Stop, Wham, Riding the Blinds and Cincinnati Jail in our set over the next few weeks, starting this coming Friday with Wham Quote
fleabag Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I likes me a bit of Kenny Wayne Shephard He released Ledbetter Heights when was 18. Blimey - i'd only just finished climbing trees. Edited March 8, 2023 by fleabag 1 Quote

I'm not 100% sold on Beaux Gris Gris and the Apocolypse, but some of their tunes are decent. 1 Quote
Jonesy Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 Just nipped down a YouTube rabbit hole looking for the hoax cover of 'I've got a mind to give up living' - which is ace itself and has a bit of a Nawlins funeral procession swing to it, when I came across this........ Never knew they covered it, so it's new to me. Just solidifies for me why Peter Green is the best British guitarist imo. No one comes close to the level of feel and emotion he puts into his playing. Wonderful stuff. 3 Quote
steantval Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Just heard this on the radio, very tasty. Quote

Mykesbass Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Mick Fleetwood and Friends playing the music of Peter Green on Sky Arts (hopefully doing their usual number of repeats). Some lovely playing, and Mick having the time of his life! Quote

Nail Soup Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Fatboy Slim was on the BBC Radio 2 Blues show a week or two ago. He's a big blues fan and like s to listen to stuff far away from the music he makes... so very rough and low-tech blues. We don't get may mash-ups in the Blues thread, but Norman (AKA Fatboy) played this that he made using the instrumental track from the Stones "Wild Horses" and the Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl". Works pretty well IMO. Quote
Nail Soup Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 And here's the source material of one of Fatboy's biggest tracks: Camille Yarbrough - Take Yo' Praise Quote
chris_b Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Daniel Castro. . . . a new name to me, but I like the sound and feel he and his band gets on this track, especially that 5 string bass. 1 Quote
Baloney Balderdash Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) My own take on the blues (not strictly traditional though), a guitar solo played on top of a backing track, which was a challenge on a guitar forum some time ago (that means backing track is not by me, guitar, vocal and production is): Edited February 22, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash Quote
Paul S Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Eric Johanson, stumbled on him chasing YouTube links a couple of years ago. His first album is great, not a dud track on it. Quote
NAS Bass Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Gotta have some Magic Sam Maghett for feelin' good! I believe that's Mack Thompson on bass. Edited February 22, 2023 by NAS Bass typo 1 Quote
