"Then all of a sudden we had Elvis Presley, blues and R&B. Such musical conversions Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. I remember thinking, weren’t rare for players of that generation, ‘Wow, this is it—this is what I want to listen to and play.’" but Stainton’s career longevity is. Fifty Stainton has worked with Clapton on and off for 35 years. In the guitarist’s current band, he shares keyboard duties years on, he still plays the blues with the with another great British player, Paul Carrack. Carrack, passion he felt then — often as keyboardist a former member of Squeeze and Ace, plays organ, while for singer/guitarist Eric Clapton. Stainton handles piano duties. YAMAHA.COM 3 MUSIC PRODUCTION GUIDE 04|2015 But Stainton was a seasoned sideman long before he Even if Stainton had never played with Cocker and began collaborating with Clapton. He made his initial Clapton, he’d probably be known for his contribution to splash with the Grease Band, the Sheffield, England, Quadrophenia, one of the Who’s most important albums. blues-rock group that launched the career of singer Joe He describes the sessions as exciting but demanding: Cocker. At the time, Stainton played bass, an instrument "Pete Townsend is a real stickler for what he wants, so that strongly influenced his keyboard style. it required a lot of discipline on my part. He wanted something very specific after hearing my piano part on "Even now, I think like a bass player," he observes. a Joe Cocker song called ‘Hitchcock Railway.’ Pete was "My left hand is always going where the bass part should jumping up and down when he heard that. He said, be. Sometimes I have to be careful not to tread on what ‘I want you to play something like that on my record!’" the bass player is doing." Stainton says that he thrives under the direction of a Stainton played bass on Cocker’s breakthrough hit, a strong music director. "As a musician," he says, "you cover of the Beatles’ "With a Little Help from My Friends" need someone to be a leader. Eric Clapton is absolutely that owes as much to Ray Charles as the Fab Four. That a leader, but in his own quiet way. Pete Townshend is memorable session was recorded at Olympic studios in a leader in a more vocal and aggressive way. And Joe London (now sadly closed down) with British musicians Cocker was another guy who is definitely in charge, knows (Jimmy Page, Albert Lee, Tommy Eyre, B J Wilson and what he wants, and is very good at directing the group." others). Stainton cites the recording, which he co-arranged with Cocker, as a career highlight. For Stainton, playing music is as big a thrill today as it was a half-century ago, but he allows that his approach has Not long after, Cocker began performing with a new band, matured: "Over the years I’ve learned to play a bit less and Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Cocker, who loved Stainton’s listen more. And that would be my advice for a younger keyboard playing, asked him to switch instruments. player, actually: Slow down a bit. Listen more. Learn when Stainton often performed in the group alongside another to shut up — and when to really play something!" great player, Leon Russell, who Stainton considers one of his three favorite keyboardists, along with Ray Charles and Nat King Cole. "I admire Leon Russell so much," Stainton says. "He’s an exquisite piano player, especially in that Louisiana style. He was so hot then, at the top of his playing ability. When Leon played piano, I’d play organ, and then I’d switch to piano when Leon took over on guitar." The colors Stainton relied on then — piano, organ, and electric piano — remain his bread-and-butter sounds today. "Those were mechanical instruments, not digital, and they were all we had in those days. They were good sounds — so good, in fact, that now all the electronic keyboard makers emulate those early sounds digitally. Like Yamaha, who in my opinion create the best acoustic piano samples in the world, as well as some of the best electric piano sounds. It’s amazing, the sounds you can get from Yamaha keyboards." These days Stainton’s workhorse is a Yamaha CP1 Stage Piano. "I’ve had a lot of Yamaha keyboards over the years," he says. "I had a Yamaha organ in the ’70s. And I had a CP70 electric grand piano. Before the CP1, I played a P250, which I thought was fantastic. But the CP1 tops even that. It truly feels like a piano."

  • Transatlanticana PR
    RED HOUSE RECORDS Red House Records: Angie Carlson • [email protected] • (651) 644-4161 BILL KIRCHEN & AUSTIN DE LONE Transatlanticana New Studio Album Unites the Titan of the Telecaster with the Godfather of Pub Rock Recorded in Austin, TX and London, UK with an all star cast Tour and festival dates announced including Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2016 (August 26, 2016; Red House Records) Bill Kirchen and Austin de Lone team up for a hands-across-the-Atlantic collection with their new studio album, Transatlanticana, out on August 26, 2016 on Red House Records. This long- overdue release unites the pioneers of two major musical movements: Kirchen co-founded the original “Americana” band, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, and his trademark Telecaster licks drove their hit “Hot Rod Lincoln” into the Top 10 in 1972. De Lone dropped out of Harvard to start Eggs Over Easy, moving to London and recording with Jimi Hendrix’s producer/manager and The Animals’ bass player Chas Chandler in 1970. The Eggs are the progenitors of British pub rock, the first link in the chain to punk rock, new wave and beyond. Backed by both their all-star British and American bands, Transatlanticana finds Kirchen and de Lone trading songwriting credits and lead vocals on this soulful and rocking collection. They kick it off with the timely “Hounds of the Bakersfield,” a tribute to the late Merle Haggard and the Bakersfield, CA sound. Kirchen and de Lone cut the album in Austin and London, capturing on disc the best of their 30-year collaboration.

  • Glenn Tilbrook 2013
    GLENN TILBROOK Mention Glenn Tilbrook and most people may immediately think of Squeeze. After all, with his writing partner Chris Difford, Tilbrook was responsible for Top Ten hits all around the world such as “Tempted”, “Hourglass”, “Cool For Cats” and “Up The Junction”. Ever since their first EP in 1977, Squeeze has delighted audiences with their brand of honky-tonk new wave and pithy lyricism, while their stock in the music world has seen the likes of Jools Hol- land, Paul Carrack and Elvis Costello all contribute to their work. However, since an acrimonious split in 1998 Squeeze has been on the backburner. Although you might forgive him for resting on his laurels after 13 albums and countless tours all over the world, Tilbrook has continued to write and perform with the same enthusiasm that he brought to Squeeze’s earliest recordings. With his two solo albums, “The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook” and “Transatlantic Ping-Pong”, he proved he’s lost none of the joie-de-vivre that became Squeeze’s trademark. For 2009’s album “Pandemonium Ensues”, he injected some fresh faces by recruiting new band The Fluffers and some prestigious guests in the shape of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. This has been complemented by a conversational live show that is delightfully shambling in its approach – Tilbrook loves blurring the bound- ary between crowd and performer by performing requests and even taking his audience for walkabouts to set up impromptu gigs! Although a Squeeze reunion had always looked unlikely, Tilbrook and Difford’s paths slowly began to cross with more frequency, leading to a series of low-key gigs together in 2007.

  • CNHI Woodstock 20190814
    A half-century later, the mother of all music festivals still resonates ifty years after the fact, it still resonates with us. Tucked up in the Catskill Mountains, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair — promoted as “An Aquarian Exposition, Three Days of Peace and Music,” but known to one and all as simply Woodstock — took place in 1969 over three-plus days. From Friday, Aug. 15, through the morning of Monday, Aug. 18, dairy farmer Max Yasgur’s 600- acre parcel of land in Bethel, New York — forever immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” (ironically, she wasn’t at the event itself) — became the epicenter of the music and cultural universe, a haven for 400,000-plus hippies, bohemians, music lovers and mem- bers of the counterculture. It began when folkie Richie Havens began strumming his gui- tar, kicking off the festival with Paul Gerry/Bethel Woods Collection “From the Prison.” Thirty-two more acts, about 66 hours and several rainstorms later, it ended when guitar god Jimi Hendrix capped off a stellar set with his rendition of “Hey Joe.” Thousands of cars were left stranded for miles and miles en route to the venue as concertgo- ers walked to their destination. Tickets for the festival were $18, but many attendees got in for free when the crowd more than tripled what organizers had anticipated. Dallas Taylor, the drummer for supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (playing just its second-ever show), asked the helicopter pilot James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection flying him to the event what body of More than 400,000 people descended on a dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y., for the concert held 50 years ago.
