Buddy Guy live in 1969 with Jack Bruce, Buddy Miles and others

•May 22, 2013 • 4 Comments

Buddy Guy is one of the great blues guitarists, a man who influenced a generation, and even today, can still hold his own with most young blues turks.

I stumbled over this high quality gem of him playing with Cream’s bassist Jack Bruce, frequent Hendrix collaborator, the drummer Buddy Miles and a horn section. A blistering “Mary Had A Little Lamb” followed by a grinding blues work out “My Time After Awhile”. ….enjoy

#168 Radio Show, April 15, 2013 – Shinyribs

•April 15, 2013 • Leave a Comment

I was joined in studio by Kevin Russell main man behind Shinyribs and a member of The Gourds, as we talked music, inspiration and influences, cover versions and the health of the Austin music scene, while he played a couple of tunes from his new album, Gulf Coast Museum and a Leadbelly classic. We learned about shape notes, road trips, sharing the same stage as Hendrix and The Monkees and who the Forest Gump of music is….wonderful stuff and thank you Kevin.
