"Widow", "Six Eight" & "Ghouls" take an awful long time to really catch fire, almost too long.

So, what's more indicitive of Landau's song style? This long build up type of approach or that of "Born In The Rain" where he hits the ground running? 3 songs to 1 is a good indication, but far from conclusive.

I see his brother is married to Michelle Branch...lucky guy. She's long been one of my fave pop singer/songwriters.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Landau's credits, but he's sort of like king of the mountain when it comes to studio guitarists in L.A. It would probably be easier to list the major artists who haven't hired Mike to play on their record or do their tour - and there's a reason for that. (BTW, Michelle Branch has used Mike for live dates and records more than once.)

Apart from his session and sideman work, Mike has been involved in a lot of original projects covering a pretty wide range of genres - everything from jazz/fusion to Hendrixy blues rock to alternative.

If "Born in the Rain" is more your taste, then you might want to check out Mike's band "Burning Water" (total balls-to-the-wall Hendrix meets SRV on steroids.) If you're interested, I can hook you up with an FTP download (almost all of Burning Water's stuff is either out of print or hard to find these days.) (BTW, there are videos of Michelle Branch with Mike on guitar on the FTP server too, if I remember correctly.)

If you're a fan of indie pop/rock, then you might also want to check out the band "Stolen Fish" (featuring Mike Landau and his wife Karen Martin.)

Oh, I was aware of him being a session guy and , as I said, I'm into Branch and have seen the Landau name associated with her before. That said, I'd be much more interested in his original projects than his session work. The Burning Water stuff you describe sounds very interesting to me and may hit you up for that download in the near future if'n you're still willing.

I'm not in a position to check out the Stolen Fish stuff yet, but I will.

We had been talking about k.d. lang and also Roy Orbison ... here's k.d. siging an Orbison classic. If you know of a better voice not named Streisand, Whitney or Celine, I'd sure like to know about it. And if you can make it through this without any goosebumps, you've a steelier constitution than I.

Besides, she must be sick talented ... how else could a vegetarian lesbian liberal make it in Nashville?

BroncoBuff · 03-08-2008, 07:37 PM

Here's the duet ... Orbison and lang together.

She slept with the right people.

I'm listening to Buddy Holly and the Crickets right now.

Music from that period is intensely powerful, IMO, for so many good reasons.

LABF ... as truly astonishing as it is, there's one things that's always bugged me about their version: Beginning at 4:29, shouldn't Nancy be singing the echos: "bring it back ... bring it back ..."

They never do that and it always kinda bugs me. That's the first time I've seen them use drums on that one, too. They sound great, but the purity of the duo always struck me deeper.

Kind of a sloppy version, I know, but I had to post it because I was at that show (Seattle Kingdome 1977) and it brought back memories.
