Crate Digger’s Corner: A String Of Albums, Waylon To Rosenwinkel

Crate Digger’s Corner…by DJ Musically Rich

Today in Crate Digger’s Corner, I’m going to string another series of albums together for you that will give you another set of albums to check out during these times while stuck at home! The journey starts out in Nashville, TN with an album from the mid-‘70s Outlaw Country movement. From there, we will go to California, hop over to Jamaica, and take a detour through England before coming back to America for some hip-hop and jazz.

Waylon Jennings- I’ve Always Been Crazy > Jimmy Buffett- A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean- Waylon puts out another classic Outlaw Country album with a set of Nashville’s best sidemen. Jimmy Buffett’s second album still has him focusing on a folk/country sound with a set of players that also include some top notch players including Steve Goodman and Memphis-born Reggie Young who plays guitar in the backing band on both of the above albums!

Buffett > Old & In The Way- s/t- The one notable player I didn’t mention above in Buffett’s band is the carryover to Old & In The Way, fiddler Vassar Clements. The great bluegrass fiddler joins the supergroup including Jerry Garcia, John Kahn and Peter Rowan for a great, one-off live, bluegrass album (2 later albums came out that contained 2 full shows that went into the creation of this album).

Old & In The Way > Peter Rowan- Reggaebilly!- Peter Rowan goes from Old & In The Way to his solo album, Reggaebilly!, which combines reggae and bluegrass in both the musical content and the players!

Rowan > Lee Perry “The Upsetter” presents- Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Corn Bread- One of the reggae artists that were part of the Peter Rowan album is extremely well-known guitarist, Earl “Chinna” Smith. He is one of the most recorded reggae musicians ever and was also on Lee Perry’s album “Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Corn Bread”, which also contained drummer…

Lee Perry > Peter Tosh- Bush Doctor- Sly Dunbar. Best known as half of the duo Sly & Robbie he also played drums for many other reggae artists and on a ton of albums. That includes the album “Bush Doctor” by Peter Tosh. This album was made shortly after Tosh befriended the Rolling Stones and had The Stones down in Jamaica for the making of the album which is how it included guitarist…

Tosh > Keith Richards- Crosseyed Heart- Keith Richards. Obviously, best known as the guitarist for The Stones, Keith Richards played with Tosh and I’m following that with one of his recent solo releases “Crosseyed Heart”. This album also features some backup vocals from…

Keith Richards > Q-Tip- The Renaissance- Norah Jones. She not only is working with Richards, but she also shows up on Q-Tip’s “The Renaissance” singing the hook for the song ‘Life Is Better’.

Q-Tip > Kurt Rosenwinkel- Heartcore- Q-Tip is the holdover into my final album on this trip. He is going from his solo album here to produce the amazing jazz guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and his album “Heartcore”. A laid back album, overall, Q-Tip shows that he can venture far away from the world of hip-hop and dives headlong into a jazz album from an (at the time) young and upcoming guitarist who has sense proven to be one of the best modern jazz artists we have.

I hope you have the chance to check out some of these albums and find a new favorite or two!

Enjoy the music!
