i'm currently listening to Tim Rose who, in his own right, is virtually
unheard of, but everyone knows his version of 'Hey Joe' that was effectively
stolen by Jimi Hendrix. Rose is a superb blues musician who never found fame in
the US, his home country, but was fully appreciated in the UK by the fairly
small number of blues officionado's.

the BBC have just has a series of programmes on the blues called 'blues on
the BBC' as it shows all the blues musicians who have appeared on the BBC over
the years. very good to watch.

Happy Friday everybody! What song do you have blasting to kick off the start of the weekend? HAGWE! -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2011-03-18 01:04:33
A most memorable drum solo!
Great choice! Interesting how many wrongfully interpreted the lyrics of the song. Anyone remember his guest appearance on the then hit tv show Miami Vice? -MW
Yes,
the man just wrote the song out of feeling and a bunch of people thought he was describing some horrible personal experience .
we should remember that the face value album was written after his first divorce
there are a lot of songs which hint at personal trauma so maybe a bit of his personal experiences went into it. i was a lifelong Genesis fan and still have the original Decca labelled 'Genesis to revelation' LP, but lost a bit of interest when they went a...
When....
I said it wasn't describing some horrible personal experience I should have elaborated a little bit more, what I was referring to is that people thought he saw somebody drowning and refused to save the individual and similar nonsense (literal interpretati...
you should be aware that...
you should be aware that Peter Gabriel was singer from the formation of genesis until 'the Lamb lies down on Broadway' so you may not like their stuff as much as the later stuff. when they took 'the lamb' on tour in the 'seconds out' album Collins had rep...

I'm kicking it old school...
...this weekend on the music front and making myself a new playlist with favorite tracks culled from all my classic rock albums, including this song (Although, my playlist will feature the original recording, not the reunion version here.) which is a clas...
your so right Daos. together for only a couple of years, but a true supergroup
my sister was there for one of those gigs. i regularly have this reunion CD in my CD changer along with Clapton's 24 nights from the RAH and one or 2 CD's from Jack Bruce's retrospective 'can you follow'. you could call my cars audio a regular cream fest,...
The British artists of that era really understood...
...the power of the blues and tapped into the raw emotion of that genre to create rock music of lasting importance. Robert Johnson is one of my favorite musicians and I doubt that many of my peers listen to his original recordings, but all of them know Cl...

On our public broadcasting station, PBS...
...there was an excellent series called The Blues which was executive produced in part by Martin Scorsese, who is a music aficionado, that I really enjoyed. Sounds like a good companion piece to what you're watching on the BBC. Cheers, Daos

the UK satellite provider SKY TV have an arts channel which regularly has blues and rock gigs on it from years gone by. when i move in a couple of months i intend to have a good TV and Audio setup with surround sound and get back into my music which i hav...
I have neither a good TV or audio setup...
...but I still enjoy my audio-visual programming. The one thing I can't live without is my DVR. I record tons of programs to watch on a rainy day (like today). Cheers, Daos
Robert Johnson "The Complete Recordings"
Well worth picking up to hear what made this master so famous.
Died at 27, just like Jimi, Janis and so many others
Weird how that seems to be the age where extreme excess and demons caught up with so many.
Coincidence, Mrsnak...
...or is something else more nefarious at work? Don't mess with the rock gods! Cheers, Daos...
its got to be coincidence...
its got to be coincidence as i'm still hear nearly 20 years further on...
