The Music Thread

Been listening to this guy since the late Green on Red days. He never gets stale either solo or in his collaborations.


 
Rolling Stones singer/songwriter/guitarist Keith Richards and Bobby Keys, rock's best saxophone player, were both born December 18, 1943.

 
I have that album.

That's a musical family. His brothers, Coke and Pete, who is Sheila E.'s dad were percussionists for Santana.
 
I used to rent a log cabin outside of Hillsborough on 40 acres or so. No air-conditioning, only a woodstove for heat. In the summer I'd sit on the porch and watch the fireflies slowly rising up out of a field (Boone the Airedale lounging by my side) listening to folks like Alejandro Escovedo, Whiskeytown, and Blue Mountain. Life was, unknown to me at the time, so beautifully simple. Looking back I have awe at the experience.
 
I have multiple albums by all those. Add Blue Rodeo, Wilco and the Jayhawks and that was a lot of my 90s.

Another weird family connection is that Chip Taylor, who wrote Wild Thing and Angel of the Morning is Jon Voight's brother.

 
Carrie Rodrigues has some great stuff...went to find a video of St Peters (amazing song), and got this one on autoplay instead, which kicks...

Brad Rice worked at a sign shop in Raleigh during his Backsliders and all days. He would often come to work just plain worn out on Mondays and Fridays after playing gigs somewhere. During breaks he would go to a back room and sleep for however long. The manager was quite kind. Then he hooked up with Keith Uban, played in his band and it was sayonara Raleigh, I'm moving to Austin.
