What's Playing Now

[renerox]

I read that Jimi Hendrix met and compared guitar licks with Dale.

Yes, I actually saw it on Tv in French dokumentary series "Beaches of the Sixties" in episode Malibu where Dick Dale tells a story how they met in the early 60's. Back then Mr.Dale was a star & Jimi asked him about his unique guitar playing style. So Dick show him some trix and the rest Is history.




Great rare guitar Maestro stuff.

Hey SEAWOLF, I see you get Ventures lp. Never heard of it. Great find How's the music ?

The Ventures are always good ...they are very local to me (just across the river & same state as SLF) ......we saw them along with The Kingsmen (Louie,Louie) on a warm summer evening outdoors, couple of years back

Been spending time with the 2 disc Bad Company anthology ...sounds like it was recorded yesterday ..really like it (tho not in huge doses)

Patti Smith Group - Easter
(1978, Arista) mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound



I read Smith's recently published book about her early days- "Just Kids" while on vacation. a great read if you like Patti, she's an interesting character with lots of stories including a chance meeting with Jimi Hendrix outside his Electric Lady studio

Album Review
None of the cuts on this two-disc, 38-track collection is particularly obscure or hard to find elsewhere, but what makes it a useful set is having them all in one package, and the end result is a nice introduction to modern electric blues. Included are such classic blues performances as Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," T-Bone Walker's "Call It Stormy Monday," Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man," John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign," Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind," and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Flood Down in Texas," among many others. Again, nothing here is going to make a blues collector jump up and shout, but they aren't going to complain, either, since every cut is a stone cold classic.

Fairport Convention - Full House
(1970, A&M)



A Rolling Stone magazine reviewer called them the British equivalent to The Band in a review of this album with their channeling of traditional British folk while staying rooted in rock. No Sandy Denny here, but its still the tasty Fairport playing with Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick taking over vocals. "Sloth" , a 9 minute track closing out side 1 is dazzling and incendiary.
