WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[edwardofhuncote]

Jazzy, I have no experience with folk music in this genre whatsoever, so I'd probably be leading you wrong here... but the more I listen to this samba rhythm, I swear... I'd be so tempted to walk the bass part some. Maybe not so much it distracted from the guitar rhythm. I'll mess with it some when I get home from walking.

I love the early Maytals stuff from that era and like many other reggae artistes of the times they did covers of popular songs. I particular love the guitar tone used for the lines, melodies and fills in those Toots & Maytals songs.

From the movie La Bamba, Los Lobos (w/Cesar Rosas on vocals) on a remake of Richie Valens' "Let's Go".  Juke Box Music ! ! !

Dan Tyminski Band; 2022 lineup features a couple new members. Maddie Denton is back on fiddle, with Grace and Jason Davis, Gaven Largent on resophonic, and I think the mandolin player Harry Clark is from Maddie's former band. They sound great here.

Thanks for the Maytals!  Never heard that cover before.

That's a nice cushion Grace has stowed away there in case she needs to sit a spell somewhere.

That is an adaptation of Cozmik Cowboy's; SM57-in-a-bar-towel technique of mic'ing an upright... tried and true. Looks like a bar seat cushion! I swear, I thought Gracie had a pickup on her bass... it must have give out on her. Man, I've been there.

There seems to be a wire running from the bridge; I'd assumed that was for the pick-up, and the cushion was to mute the strings betwixt bridge & tailpiece.

I believe you're right. Hard to see that detail on my little screen. Interesting they had to mute her bass. I reckon they were having trouble with low end feeding back in the monitors? I know that stage well... it's Felts Park in Galax, Virginia.

*Bluegrass nerd trivia: the album Dan is referencing in the first video is Rounder #0044 "J.D. Crowe & The New South", with a very young Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, and Ricky Skaggs. He played Tony's guitar solo, note-for-note here.

Well, Jerry is listed in the album credits, and I hear him there (even that early he had style as recognizable as Garcia, Cipollina, or Nelson) - so why didn't he make the cover photo?  Inquiring minds wan to know.

Well, it depends on who you ask and who was there, but the shortest version is this; Jerry Douglas wasn't technically "in the band" yet, but was still a member of the Country Gentlemen. Ricky Skaggs (having played with 'Flux' in the Gents) convinced J.D. to bring him on the sessions. The new New South band that emerged from these sessions with the Rounder 0044 project was very short-lived, only one supporting tour. Jerry and Ricky went on to form Boone Creek, Tony went on to form his own act, J.D. and Bobby carried on. It was however, a monumentally important turning point in bluegrass music for a good many of us, my age and younger. Alison has a framed copy of it. Danny claims it inspired him to learn at all.

Here's another little piece of funny bluegrass trivia; the album cover seen here... it was a second one - the original cover had J.D. Crowe flippin' the bird, covertly. Or was he? They are quite collectible now.

Sierra's plugged-in band, working a Del McCoury tune.

Here's the one she was jammin' with Cory Wong earlier this year.

Dan Tyminski, singing a rather apocalyptic song. I heard him do this live a couple weeks ago and went looking for it.
