Maucksch at PaulerAcoustics GENRE Guitar G Roy Lanham was a virtuoso musician who could pull off everything from country to jazz. G This album has remained out of print and hard to find for decades. G This is an album that swings like mad and rocks like crazy! INFORMATION Roy Lanham is not a well-known name in the music world, but the songs he played on are. Whether you know it or not, you've heard the incredible guitar talents of Roy Lanham, on everything from The Delmore Brothers to Hank Penny to The Fleetwoods to Roy Rogers to The Sons Of The Pioneers to obscure rockabilly artists like Whitey Pullen and Jimmy Patton. Roy Lanham was a virtuoso musician who could pull off everything from country to jazz, and recorded a landmark album in 1959 (released in 1961) called 'The Most Exciting Guitar.' Strangely, this album has remained out of print and hard to find for decades, and BEAR FAMILY now remedies that with a glorious new reissue. This album smokes, with 'Exciting' being an apt description. This isn't your Grandpa's sleepy jazz guitar, this is an album that swings like mad and rocks like crazy! Lanham, along with bassist Red Wooten and the legendary rock and roll/rhythm and blues drummer Earl Palmer, literally take this list of jazz and country standards and redefine them.

A catalyst and an illuminator, but also a magnet for scandal, Robert Mapplethorpe had but one goal: to ‘make it’ as an artist and as an art celebrity. He could not have picked a better time: the Manhattan of Warhol’s Factory, Studio 54, and an era of unbridled hedonistic sexuality. His first solo exhibition in 1976 already unveils his subjects: flowers, portraits and nudes. Mapplethorpe quickly gains notoriety through his explicitly sexual photographs from the gay sadomasochistic scene as well as nude pictures of black men. Directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato were given unrestricted access to Mapplethorpe’s archives for their documentary Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures, in which this exceptional artist talks candidly about himself in recently discovered interviews.

  • New York Dolls: Lookin' Fine on Television One of the Reasons
    http://moviecitynews.com/2011/11/the-dvd-wrapup-super-8-spy-kids-4-devils-double-sarahs-key-family-tree-trigger- helldriver/ New York Dolls: Lookin’ Fine on Television One of the reasons crusty old rock-’n’-roll journalists take the Hall of Fame less than seriously is the nominating committee’s tendency to honor performers whose ability to sell records trumps innovation, sacrifice and influence. Some musicians and singers have been inducted several times, while others are only considered after the uproar gets too loud to ignore. The fact that such mainstream entertainers as Billy Joel are members and not hard- core acts like the New York Dolls demands loud debate. Watch “Lookin’ Fine on Television” and I think you’ll see the case to be made for the Dolls. Directly influenced by the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart and the Faces, the Stooges and MC5, the Dolls may have been the first American band to embrace Britain’s emerging Glam Rock and Punk movements and convincing suburban teenagers that boys have the same right to wear makeup and tease their hair as their girlfriends. Among the bands the Dolls influenced were Alice Cooper, Kiss, Sex Pistols, Motley Crue, the Ramones, Guns N Roses, Poison, R.E.M., Aerosmith and Clash. David Johansen was able to survive by morphing into the persona of lounge lizard Buster Poindexter and making songs for hipper elements among the disco crowd. Filmmakers Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck have compiled clips from the band’s formative years in L.A. and N.Y.C., as well as vintage interviews.

  • New York Dolls All Dolled up Films by Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck
    New York Dolls All Dolled Up Films by Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck (MVD) In the early 70’s, rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya purchased one of the early video cameras, and over the next three years they shot over 40 hours of footage of New York’s glitter-punk band The New York Dolls. The black and white footage is substandard by today’s technology standards, but the viewer is drawn in from the very beginning, with interview segments, performances at Max’s Kansas City and other venues, a trip to Los Angeles to play the Whisky A Go-Go and appear on TV’s “The Midnight Special” and Dick Clark’s “American Band stand.” (Note: As a special note to Gritz readers, pay attention to the scene in the the limo when the Dolls are first riding down the strip and see The Whisky for the first time. Someone in the limo says,”Who’s playing tonight?” Someone says “Marshall Tucker.” and then some else says, “They’re a Texas band.” Well. Close fellas. Also interesting is that the next night when the Dolls play, lead singer David Johansen appears in a "sheriff’s outfit" with a six-gun and holster. A parody of Tucker?) It’s easy to see where KISS got a lot of their stage show ideas, as the band rocks it out punk style on “Trash,” “Personality Crisis,” “Who Are The Mystery Girls” and many others. Some early, original punk-glitter rock, and an important document in American rock history. -Michael Buffalo Smith http://www.gritz.net/subscribers_area/features/dvd.html .
