Rival Sons Is an American Rock Band That Routinely Sells Shows out in Europe, but Are Virtually Unknown in America Rival Sons is an American rock band that routinely sells shows out in Europe, but are virtually unknown in America. Classic Rock magazine from the U.K. had five different versions of the December issue, each featuring a different band on the cover as contender for band of the year in 2012. The bands were The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Black Country Communion and Rival Sons. It is time that Rival Sons finally get some recognition at home. The unlikely pairing of Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite has produced a great new album called Get Up! The collaboration is on the Stax label, and if you like blues at all, you will love this album. Texas Flood, the first album by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double, will soon be thirty years old, and a new double disc 30th Anniversary Legacy Edition has just been released to mark the occasion. Stevie Ray breathed new life into the blues and this album was the spark that began his journey of almost single‐handedly resurrecting blues music. Spirit was an American rock band formed in the late 60’s that is mostly known for two hits: I Got A Line On You from 1968 and Nature’s Way from 1970. Spirit was very musically experimental and cutting edge for their time. They were highly influential to many more popular artists, especially Led Zeppelin, who actually took the descending acoustic guitar line used in Stairway To Heaven, from a Spirit song. Rival Sons – Pressure & Time and Head Down Rival Sons is a classic rock style band with just a touch of modern rock that formed in Los Angeles, California in 2008, but they are not the poser hair band that L.A. has become known for churning out. Rival Sons is the real deal, and while there is no denying their influences from 60’s & 70’s hard rock bands, they have their own sound (despite using the brief guitar echo from Spirit In The Sky in their song All The Way). Guitarist Scott Holiday found lead singer Jay Buchanan on a friend’s My Space page, and it turned out that drummer Michael Miley already knew him, but he didn’t think that Buchanan would be interested in joining as he was playing folk based rock at the time. Buchanan auditioned with the band and things clicked, and they have now released three full length albums and an EP of great music that will appeal to classic rock fans of all ages. Pressure & Time is Rival Son’s 2011 album featuring artwork by Storm Thorgerson, famous for album artwork by bands such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. It’s a great rocking album from start to finish that 70’s classic rock fans will love. There is a deluxe version of Pressure & Time that was released in 2012 that adds two songs that came out as a single afterwards and a DVD that includes four live videos and three promo videos. Head Down is the latest Rival Sons album, recorded in Nashville after producer Dave Cobb re‐located there from L.A. Singer Jay Buchanan said that it was Rival Sons’ duty to prove that they are more than just a 70’s‐style blues based rock band, and Head Down is the result. It is a strong album that finds the brand expanding into a bit of power pop and some psychedelic rock on a couple of tracks. Some of the songs are longer and more adventurous as well. The two part Manifest Destiny is about an American Indian buffalo hunting party that discovers wagon tracks that head towards their home camp. They return to find that everyone in the camp had been killed by the army. Both sides say that they are dealing with enemies that are Godless men. Part two is about the Indians waiting for dawn to retaliate and attack the soldiers. Both Pressure & Time and Head Down are available on limited edition vinyl from the Earache record label via the band’s website. Earache, incidentally, is a heavy metal label from England that believed in Rival Sons enough to take a chance with a classic rock band for the first time. Earache’s gamble has paid off very well for them. Rival Sons’ first album Before The Fire was self‐released in 2009, and it is available on download only, but in FLAC, Apple Lossless and mp3, as is their six song self‐titled EP, released in 2010. Here are a couple of music videos from Rival Sons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=‐MA0m1K2jW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=‐ijOlAR3zs8 Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite – Get Up! Ben Harper grew up listening to his parent’s Charlie Musselwhite records and considered Musselwhite, who grew up in Memphis, a major influence. The two met in Australia at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, and later worked together on John Lee Hooker’s The Best Of Friends album in 1998. They hit it off extremely well, and playing music together came very natural for the duo. Harper and Musselwhite said at that time that they should do an album together, and John Lee Hooker agreed, telling them that they should do it immediately. It took the duo fifteen years to finally record together, and the results are surprisingly good. This may be the best album that either of them has recorded, in fact. Get Up! is a mixture of acoustic and electric blues that sounds fresh and will appeal to both casual blues fans as well as blues purists. As Musselwhite says, the best music is about the tone and feeling. Even if one plays perfectly, they really aren’t saying anything if they don’t have the right tone. Harper and Musselwhite have the right tone and they know it. There isn’t a weak song on the album, though it would have been nice to have had a couple more rocking songs like I Don’t Believe A Word You Say and expand the album to twelve songs instead of ten. The acoustic songs sound extremely casual. Musselwhite can be heard holding a conversation during All That Matters Now, as he and guitarist Jason Mozersky were just riffing during a recording break and Harper heard them and recorded it, writing lyrics and overdubbing vocals to the song later. There is a deluxe version of Get Up! that includes a bonus DVD of the making of the album plus three live performances. There is a $2.00 off Best Buy coupon on Ben Harper’s facebook page that is good through 2/2. Here is a video from the Deluxe Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite Get Up! album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YndfhwNMniI Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble – Texas Flood 30th Anniversary Legacy Edition Texas Flood is the excellent first Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble album, originally released on June 13, 1983. It was recorded in three days at Jackson Browne’s studio that he offered to the band for free after seeing them play at an after festival show jam at the Montreux Casino. The resulting recording was used as a demo to get a record deal, and with a little remixing, the demo was released as the final product. Texas Flood has the hit song Pride And Joy, which introduced most people to Stevie Ray’s music, and it is still a classic rock radio staple today, but Texas Flood has a lot more to offer than a hit song. It has become a classic electric blues album that has inspired thousands of blues guitarists that a friend of mine refers to as Stevie Ray Wannabes. Stevie Ray could play blindingly fast with a great tone that was a mixture of Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin of Howlin’ Wolf’s band. Stevie Ray played guitar with substance, not just style and flash. Eric Clapton commented that music poured out of him naturally and seemingly effortlessly. The new 30th Anniversary Legacy Edition of Texas Flood includes the original album with the bonus outtake track Tin Pan Alley, which was re‐recorded for the next album, Couldn’t Stand The Weather. Tin Pan Alley was left off of Texas Flood because they literally ran out of tape before the song was finished! The real bonus on this release is the second disc of a live show recorded October 20, 1983 at Ripley’s Music Hall in Philadelphia. This concert was a King Biscuit Flower Hour show that has been a popular bootleg for years, but it appears here in the best sound quality ever. Stevie Ray Vaughan was always awesome live, and this is an excellent early show that has half of the songs for Texas Flood and includes smoking versions of Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and Little Wing/Third Stone From The Sun (some Stevie Ray fanatics consider this his best version of Little Wing). Unfortunately, the three encore instrumentals have been left off, and they would have easily fit on the CD. The primary show is intact, however, and it is worth the price of this budget priced two disc set alone, and makes this a must‐ have for fans that already own the Texas Flood album. Here is a video of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) made on the same tour that the Ripley’s Music Hall show was recorded on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn‐N5pMFmpg Spirit – Original Album Classics Spirit formed in Los Angeles after 15 year old guitarist Randy California was not allowed by his parents to go to England with band mate Jimi Hendrix.

  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • “Classic Deep Purple Live” Performed by Glen Hughes Keswick Theatre Friday, September 7
    “CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” PERFORMED BY GLEN HUGHES KESWICK THEATRE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 Glenn Hughes, former bassist and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for rock super group Black Country Communion is pleased to announce that he will be performing Deep Purple only material with his “CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA on Friday, September 7. The tour promises to be dynamic, a turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his tenure in MK 3 and MK 4 incarnations of Deep Purple - one of music history’s most seminal and influential rock and roll groups. "I'm excited to be touring the “Classic Deep Purple Live” in the US this year. I first toured Classic Deep Purple Live in Australia and New Zealand last year and it went down like a storm. We’re also touring the show throughout South America and international festivals throughout the summer. By the time we tour the US, then the UK in October, we’ll be on fire.” As well as Glenn on lead vocals and bass guitar, the touring band also features Soren Anderson (guitar), Jesper Bo Hansen (keyboards) and Fer Escobedo (drums) Deep Purple took a quantum leap when the then 20-year-old Glenn Hughes was seconded from British funk-rock outfit Trapeze in mid-1973. As bassist and co-vocalist (with David Coverdale), he helped steer the legendary rock group in the progressive direction of Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974) and Come Taste the Band (1975), while touring the world for three years.

    MUSICRADAR.COM (12/6) http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/rival-sons-scott-holiday-talks-jimmy-page-riff-writing-and- epic-guitar-performances-568156 Rival Sons' Scott Holiday talks Jimmy Page, riff writing and epic guitar performances If Head Down were Rival Sons' debut album and not their third release, we'd be heralding the unexpected arrival of a bright new talent, and possibly even an important one, a group that manages to take their cues from firmly established blues-rock paradigms while proving there's still rich, untapped pockets to be mined. Oh, hell, let's dispense with the formalities and give it up for this California four-piece (singer Jay Buchanan, guitarist Scott Holiday, bassist Robin Everhart and drummer Mike Miley), who attack well- worn forms – there's also splashes of soul, funk and head-spinning psychedelia, for good measure – with a zeal that borders on audacity. The grooves are deep and the vocals are of the chest-beating variety, but the real star of the show is guitarist Holiday. On the album's 13 exhilarating cuts, he hits with with tectonic force, creating rich tapestries of sound that burst wide open with style, imagination and an infectious, warped charm. We caught up with Holiday the other day to chat about his spunky approach to guitar playing, his many axes and sonic toys, and to find out how he felt rubbing shoulders with a new fan, another six- string slinger who goes by the name Jimmy Page. So Jimmy Page likes your band. That's got to feel good.
