Especially the dude that plays steel guitar or dobro or whatever that is.

Allison Krauss is very good. The stuff they call country nowadays is a lot more than country. Listen to Martina McBride and Patty Loveless, those girls can sing, just to mention a few.

Very cool Craw. Anytime I can turn someone onto some new music (new to them anyways), it totally makes my day.

Broke out the old Chocolate Watchband today....thank God for the Nuggets collections of the 80's and beyond.

Dig it.

Wow! That's very good also, thanks for sharing Hogan11.

I need to get some of that music in my collection. Never heard of them before and the lead singer sounds like Mick Jagger. Again, thanks.

Oh yeah. I was introduced to them (and many others) thru the Nuggets collections as I mentioned. Mostly one hit wonders and other unknowns from the mid-60's garage scene up to 68 (I think). VERY cool stuff if you're into that whole "psychotic reaction" type stuff.

The Watchband albums each are good to fair on their own, but if you go with a "Best Of", you'll get a very solid collection of stuff like the above track. Very Stones influenced, sloppy and intense.

Here, dig another track....

So Rusty, is this a departure for him or is it rooted in the Stokes sound?

I thought the band had broken up, but I just read the other day they're heading back into the studio. Hope the results are better than the Earth album was.

Hogan11 · 10-29-2009, 12:08 AM

Mid-60's underground classics from The Swamp Rats

Unhinged, wild & primal......I especially love the drumming on "Psycho"

Vic is one talented dude who has really worked his ass off to attain that level of proficiency on his instrument.

L.A. BRONCOS FAN · 10-30-2009, 05:17 AM

SRV, Hiram Bullock, (RIP) et al, on "Night Music" - one of the greatest music variety TV shows of all time (of course it couldn't last.)

Vic has literally been playing the thunderspiel since he was 2. Yes. 2 years old.

There is nobody like him on the instrument. He has it all.

Not even the cheesy 80's synth & congas can keep Reverend Al down, truly one of the last great Soulmen of the pre-Disco era.

Night Music was a great program. David Sandborn's pomposity used to grate on me a bit, but thankfully Jools Holland made up for it in spades. Jools carries on the tradition of this great program over in the UK as Later.. With Jools Holland where every show features up to seven different bands, none from the same style/genre, all set up in a circle performing for each other and a small TV audience. It's shown on the Ovation network at least one a week, often in a marathon and it's a must see.

The glaring difference between the two programs is Night Music often paired musicians together that never would've worked together under normal circumstances (the results varied, but made for some interesting moments nonetheless) regrettably that doesn't happen on the Later show.

That's good also, I was near a FYE this afternoon and was going to look for their CD but I couldn't remember the Chocolate Watchband name. Maybe I'll try itunes. Very Rolling Stones sounding.

Amazon is your best bet. I just checked it out and there's a "Best Of" titled Forty Four that's available for about $5.99 that's a very good introduction. No sense in paying the mega bucks for an out of print item if you're not a collector.

http://www.amazon.com/Forty-Four-Cho...mus_ep_dpi_lnk

Might as well check out another track then, what the hell.

Hope this all helps

Actually, the synths are pretty understated on the track - they're just being used to create a bed for the other instruments and to add a little icing. Not really prominent enough for the average listener to notice them much.

And I don't think I've ever heard the word "cheesy" applied to congas (whose presence in music, BTW, neither began nor ended with the 80s) before (and especially not when a world-class cat like Don Alias is playing them.)

Quick! Google his credits!

Sanborn came across as himself, i.e., a serious, world-class/world renowned musician who was actually able to say something intelligent about the music (as opposed to mere taste-making/fashion policing re: the use of synths, etc.) I suppose that, by definition, all of the above translates to "pompous" in your world.

Holland, while not a bad pianist himself, was more about the show biz razzmatazz and the usual peripheral crap on NM. Just about every serious musician and/or listener I've encountered who was actually old enough to stay up late enough to watch the show when it was in production feels "Night Music" was better after Holland's departure.

No need to, because once again you're trying to sidetrack what I was talking about. The instruments in question on that track are not only very noticable but they're sounding the same as most production jobs of the 80's....meaning they haven't aged well at all, sound horribly dated today and yes....they are cheesy.

Of course they do and lemme guess as to why...it was because Holland came from Squeeze...a new wave pop band that's just well below the serious sideman standard of the highbrow Sanborn, right?? Wow, whadda surprise that is. Sanborn was an insufferable pompous ass at times, much like yourself, so it's little wonder you'd feel that way.
