Oops. My mistake. Rock band. I don't know if they qualify as a rock band, but the Bangles harmonies are rich and flowing and full.

Dinah Washington can put a lump in your throat.

Hey, I just want to thanks everyone for their help. I've been downloading like a mad man. i'm getting about 1/2 dozen of each artist, to get a taste. Sampling the wares. The early front runner is Elmore James. I'm loving him. I have to say, though, I'm not crazy about the Howlin Wolf stuff. I think it's the vocals aren't sitting right with me. Anyway, thank you, Songfactors. Thank thank you thank you. New Music! Yay for me!

Superstar Billy Graham. Loved him.

Repeatively?

That Cher song, 'Believe'. I secretly downloaded it and put it on a mix cd. Although I can't stomach Cher. "If I could turn back time, I'd probably date a fetus" Blech.

I was reading through the liner notes of my Albert King/SRV Session cd, and Stevie mentioned that while they were doing the last cut, 'Don't Lie to Me', while he (Stevie) was taking his turn on lead guitar, he glanced over and there was Albert, leaning back in his chair, using an emery board on his fingernail, not paying Stevie any mind, messing with Stevie, more or less saying, 'You're just a pup'. That explained why, on the cd, Stevie starts laughing during his lead solo. I just thought that was interesting, and that I'd share it with everyone. We're all music lovers, and have spent time reading liner notes. Anyone have any other interesting things they've read? Oddities? I know, on one of my KISS albums, I forget which, they thank 'the girl with the green hair'. Hmmm.

Interesting. I've always gone a gentle green hue whenever I hear him.

I just have to keep settled. You cats are throwing so much at me, I just have to keep in mind - I've got time, this doesn't have to be done in a week. ::

You know, Jayson, I had the same thought today. I'd always thought SRV was the epitome of blues. But that was only because he's all I'd ever listened to, blues wise. i now know, that's not true. He's more rock than blues, with more blues influence in his rock. Doesn't change my opinion of him, thought. SRV will always be the best , to me.

It may be a toss up between Keith and Bonzo as to who the most under-the-influential drummer was.

Shania. pphhht.

Then someone needs to fill a fire truck with it and head to the factory where they burn Shania Twain cds. Abort Shania Twain CDs NOW!

As most of you know, I recently ordered a couple of cds, (I made enough noise about it), and I've been listening to them for a few days now. I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed with the SRV Live at Carnagie Hall. The sound quality isn't very good. It's kind of fuzzy, and some of the levels are too high, and the bass is almost non-exsistent. I messed around with the levels on my stereo, and got it sounding listenable, but over all, I feel a bit ripped off. The other one, though, Albert King/SRV Session is a work of art. I'm very, very happy with it. Just the two of them, (with a keyboard,drums and bass, of course) sitting in a studio with a couple of mikes, just feeling it. Man, it's good stuff. I've always been a fan of Stevie, but I've only recently started exploring around with the blues. Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson, T-Bone, Wild Bill Davis...I'm just discovering these guys. It's like I've tapped into a vein in the mountain of music. And really, I've only done it out of boredom with my music collection. I've listened to it all, a million times. It's just beat. So, bluesboy sent me some music, and I've got to tell you folks, I can't give the guy enough credit. He's like Moses parting the Red Sea for me. Thanks Bluesey When I got here, I thought I knew alot about music, but what i've discovered is, I know next to nothing about music appreciation. I've dicovered so many other flavors in this Baskin Robbins of music.My musical taste buds are doing backflips these days. Anyway, I feel pretty good these days, knowing I've got some "new" music to listen to, even if most of it is older than me. What's more exciting is the fact that I know there's a whole lot more mining to do. End of rambling random music thought.

As soon as I saw 'Nirvana' I skipped it.

I think the Monkees made great use of the tamborine. (tambourine?)

Jose Estrada. Him and Johnny Rodz got beat every saturday. And S. D. Jones.

I don't remember if it was being 'officially' released or not, all I remember is my roomie being very happy he was getting the song.

Earth Angel Rocks!

I have some spotty facts about this, MC. While stationed in Germany (83-85), I had a room mate that was crazy about Zep, and I distictly remember him being all jazzed about that song being released, because he couldn't get it anywhere. Now I know he had all Zep's albums, and it wasn't on any of them, that's why he was so excited about getting it. So, I suppose it wasn't originally released on any album. That's all the info I have.

What does it say about the state of music today when the usher wins more than anyone else?

Valeri kicks a%%

He's been quite a journeyman. If memory serves, I believe he played on a few Ted Nugent albums, as well. I'll have to lookit in up now. It'll bug me. I'm almostt 100% sure he was touring Uncle Ted when I saw him in the early 80's in Baltimore.

I watched when I was a kid. Mil Mascaras was my favorite.

Welcome to Songfacts. Are you speaking to anyone in specific?
