An ME tribute to Gary Rossington – The Last of the Original Skynyrds

2023-03-13 · 12 Comments ·

I was watching the 6:30 national news recently when I heard that Gary Rossington had died. Interestingly, they referred to him as a “guitar legend” but I very much doubt that his name is well-known outside the rock world. Certainly, there were people who didn’t … Continue reading An ME tribute to Gary Rossington – The Last of the Original Skynyrds

An ME Tribute to Wayne Shorter

2023-03-09 · 20 Comments ·

In case you missed it (since the media completely isgnored it), jazz giant Wayne Shorter died on March 2nd, 2023. I found out several days later when my friend Steve texted me. Meanwhile we get media alerts every time Beyonce drops a tune or Taylor … Continue reading An ME Tribute to Wayne Shorter

Book Review – The Philosophy of Modern Song – Bob Dylan

2023-03-06 · 29 Comments ·

Back in 2004, Bob Dylan published a book of (some of) his life called Chronicles: Volume One. It was a pretty insightful, entertaining look into the mind of this enigma. While we await Volume Two, we now have The Philosophy of Modern Song which is, … Continue reading Book Review – The Philosophy of Modern Song – Bob Dylan

One-hit Wonders

2023-02-272023-02-27 · 8 Comments ·

I wanted to belatedly note the passing of Tom Verlaine, guitarist, and songwriter for the band Television. Their seminal album Marquee Moon from the punk era (really a guitar album) is one that i’d done a blog on a while back. Actually, I reblogged a … Continue reading One-hit Wonders

Featured Album – Super Session – Al Kooper (with Michael Bloomfield and Steven Stills)

2023-02-20 · 11 Comments ·

(Despite the cover, at no point in time were Bloomfield, Kooper, and Stills in the studio at the same time) I did a two-part series on Al Kooper a while back which I called Al Kooper- Journeyman. Which he was, and is. I’ll spare you … Continue reading Featured Album – Super Session – Al Kooper (with Michael Bloomfield and Steven Stills)

Popa Chubby Live at the Bull Run

2023-02-15 · 11 Comments ·

The Bull Run is a long-standing (mostly) blues club way out in small-town Massachusetts. Have to go there or New Hampshire as the city of Boston – which is actually a fairly cosmopolitan city – has largely abandoned it. They have a House of Blues … Continue reading Popa Chubby Live at the Bull Run

Mad Dogs and Englishmen – The Joe Cocker/Leon Russell 1970 American Tour

2023-02-122023-02-12 · 12 Comments ·

When singer Rita Coolidge attended the premiere of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, the 1971 documentaru that chronicled the Joe Cocker–fronted tour of the same name, the experience was far from celebratory. β€œI started shaking and crying and it all came back to me,” she says. … Continue reading Mad Dogs and Englishmen – The Joe Cocker/Leon Russell 1970 American Tour

One Song/Three Versions – Ring of Fire

2023-02-08 · 22 Comments ·

I’m not the world’s biggest country fan. But if I had to pick one guy it would be Johnny Cash. He wrote good stuff, he was a collaborator with Dylan and he was open-minded enough later in life to record songs by bands like Nine … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – Ring of Fire

One Song/Three Versions – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

2023-02-06 · 5 Comments ·

My One Song/Three Versions posts are about nothing more than showing the creative ways other artists can take a song and give it a different spin. These versions may never replace the original in your estimation. But give them credit for trying.Β  Wikipedia: “This Must … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

Time for a Shot of Blues

2023-02-052023-02-05 · 2 Comments ·

Pictured: Willie Dixon and Koko Taylor While ME likes a wide variety of music, he always comes back home to the blues and is vaguely suspicions of music lovers who don’t love it and musicians who can’t play it. But, to each his (or her) … Continue reading Time for a Shot of Blues
