Musings on music, fav songs and guitar.

Waiting on a Friend by Keef & Mick!

Since I was a kid, I've always loved this song. Until today I thought the beautiful sax soloing was courtesy of Keef's cohort, Bobby Keys. It's actually not. The sax on this record is courtesy of Jazz legend, MR. SONNY ROLLINS!!

[revrbmusic]

Said it before and I'll say it again The Bouncing Souls are so rad! One of the best touring Punk Rock Bands out there There is something sentimental about this song and most all of their songs which I love. These dudes are the real deal!

[revrbmusic]

Descendents - "Shameless Halo" The new record is f'n awesome! If you love the Descendents you will love this release. One of the best bands of all time in any genre.

[revrbmusic]

Classic Girl by Janes Addiction One of the best songs ever written about a girl by a man. Beautiful, chokes me up every time.

[revrbmusic]

Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Slaying the Blues! Derek is an incredible slide player Susan has that honey-soul voice Tiny Desk concert (how'd they all fit in that little room?)

[revrbmusic]

"Hey where have you gone? You used to be the one we looked up to." Straight outta Jersey! Bouncing Souls, one of the most down to earth punk rock bands around. Catch them live, they rule! Kids and Heroes

[revrbmusic]

The brilliant Eddy Grant and one of his most popular songs, Electric Avenue. I swear you can't stop moving when listening to this jam!

[revrbmusic]

"I've been running, police on my back.They've been shooting, Police on my back". The Equals, playing of of their early gems, Police on my Back. The Clash later covered this song on their album Sandanista.

Very cool and intimate resonator acoustic performance from Gary Clark Jr "Better fess up boy or Imma shoot you dead" Nextdoor neighbor blues

[revrbmusic]

"Please welcome the talent of Mr. Tom Waits". The Piano Has Been Drinking. One of those songs which grabbed me when I first heard it. Tom Waits' music is undeniable. He is equal parts troubadoor & avante garde experimentor. Here is an ealy live gem.

[revrbmusic]

Couldn't resist posting another gem from honey gravel-soul blues master Alvin Youngblood Hart. Here he is performing a Skip James classic called Illinois Blues.

[revrbmusic]

Alvin Youngblood Hart is an American traditional blues master. While his style is a mix of blues, country, rock n roll and jazz, this performance exemplifies why he is and always be known for his country blues picking. With a rich soulful voice that's equal parts honey and gravel.

Corey Harris, acoustic blues master plays the classic, "Catfish Blues." When I first heard Corey play, I was floored by his timing and ability to channel the early blues masters through his playing. So relaxed and heartfelt. Highly recommend checking him out when he plays near your town!

[revrbmusic]

Born Under a Bad Sign. Hearing these two blues geniuses trade phrases is a real treat. Master (AK) and Student (SRV). Legend is theat SRV first sat in with AK when SRV was 11. You can definitely hear the AK influence in SRV's playing more than any other influence, (IMHO).

[revrbmusic]

Wes Montgomery was a genius of guitar. Here is a sweet live clip of him performing his classic composition four on six. I like how he took a different improvisation path than the studio version.

[revrbmusic]

Hey-Ma-and-Pa WTH is wrong with y'all!! Hey Sony, why did you add that tore-up keyboard to the remix? Still one of my fav Fishbone tracks.

[revrbmusic]

The groove on this is so perfectly in the pocket. Could listen to this all day. The Sidewinder is a quintessential record. Even James Brown covered it at one point.
