What are you listening to?

Recently stumbled upon this gem. I had been listening to Grand Funk and their cover of this song. Did some digging and found out that Eric Burdon and The Animals were first to record it. Of course like many of the British Invasion bands of the 60s they had “borrowed” the lyrics from an old American song often sung by southern black performers. Thought this was killer, considering this performance is from 1966.

This week's binge is Royal Southern Brotherhood. The band was originally started by signer/guitarist Mike Zito and singer/guitarist Devon Allman (son of Gregg Allman). Also Cyril Neville of The Neville Brothers.







Later, after Mike and Devon left the band, Tyrone Vaughan (son of Jimmie) joined, along with Bart Walker

 
A traipse through Farm Aid concerts. Went to a lot of them 80s - 90s. Newlywed in 1995 Louisville show. Neil Young is my fave, add Crazy Horse and that's it. 1+1 = 5 million. These are in no particular order.









Was fortunate to see Neil at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island NY, back in 82 or 83. This was solo, mainly acoustic.
Show was in the round. This was his Trans tour, where he played maybe 3 songs electronically and then all the hits.

2025 Record Store Day is April 12th. Support your local vinyl stores.
 
You know, high school 81-84, Bad Co was in the rotation. They really don’t hold up for me now 40 years later. Not in any of my classic playlists. I recognize their place in history but don’t think their sound ever evolved. JMO.
 
Alley Venable and Taj Farrant will be coming to play at Manchester Music Hall in Lexington in June, if you like guitarists.
Venable on June 19th
Farrant on June 27th
NOTE: Farrant has the longest fingers I think I've ever seen on a guitarist ... !!
