kasim gets an interview in this months Bass Guitar Magazine(UK). I've admired his playing for a long time, especially with Utopia on RA. possibly one of the earliest bass solos in a rock tune I'd heard - the diver sequence in Singring and the Glass Guitar. Now there'a an album I'll have to dig out this weekend.

edit.. I'll also be digging out Brownsville station - haven't listened to this for ages but it's a superb album - includes the hit Martian boogie but i think my favourite song would have to be My Friend jack dedicated to a certain beverage. Class! Tony Driggins bass lines are very good and I think the line on Throw me a lifeline was more than likely the first Popped bass line I ever heard.

Lately I've wearing out a copy of Karizma,
(David Garfield,Vinnie Colaiuta, Michael Landau & Neil Stubenhaus). Vinnie is SOOOO incredible.
This CD was given to me by a drummer friend of mine, go figure.
Neil will lock down the groove and Vinnie will just plain go off in a differant direction and RIP-IT-UP.
If I could just jam with Vinnie one time...

I would also like to add a few more that I love.

X Marks the Spot- The Jolly Rogers (Pirate music, completely awesome and difficult to find)
The Dirty Boogie- Brian Setzer Orchestra
Sweetheart of the Rodeo- The Byrds

I also have about 2.6 gigs of the Grateful Dead that I can't turn off.

That's the one Dave. Great album.

76407, has Humble Pie's Rocking the Fillmore EVER been re-released as a CD? Fabulous record, Steve Marriot was really something.

I have JGB's Full House and the later double live from Detroit on CD. It DOES blow my face out!

From what I've been able to determine, Humble Pie's Rocking The Fillmore was released on CD in 1990 by A&M and in 1996 by Universal/Polygram. Amazon has the 1990 release for $10.99. Amazon also has an Import reissue from Japan (no label shown) released on June 27, 2006 (yes, next week) for $22.99. Amazon has the 1996 Universal/Polygram release, also referred to as an Import, for $32.49. And Amazon also lists a 2001 Universal/Polygram import release that is unavailable.

oops. mentioned Tony Driggins playing on Brownsville Station further up but I've just got through listening to the album and it was either Micheal Lutz or beezer Nazarian playing bass on that album. i'm currently Chilling with a nice Sauvignon Blanc and kate Bush' the kick inside. Superb - brings back alot of teenage memories ;-)
