Louie is a national treasure! Thanks for interviewing him.
Mr. Shelton deserves his own documentary.
Louie Sheldon is tops on writing ✍️ solos - Loved learning Last Train To Clarksville- You should have gotten credit on all your contributions-
Absolute legend.
Louie's work on the Monkees alone was so signature.
Thanks John for a great interview. Have enjoyed Louie's playing for a long time and man, he is truly someone who 'served the song'. Remarkable touch and understanding of a groove. Just listen to Silk Degrees and hear how his rhythm playing is locked in to Jeff Porcaro's feel on the drums - they complimented each other beautifully! Best wishes Louie, you've given us a lot of cool stuff to enjoy
Louie.. One of the treasure's Australia has had for years. He played on a song of mine a few years back, (with Bill Champlin on Lead Vocals). Louie played the solo in '1' take. One of the greatest session musicians, period! Great interviews John, K.
Loui...Your a living Legend. An American treasure. My friend Joe Chambers said to me what a nice guy you are. May he Rest in Peace. Looking forward to more John. Nice work. 👍🏼😎
One of my favorites. I loved Louis Shelton’s playing since I was eight years old watching The Monkees. Thanks, John. Keep ‘em coming!
Such a classy person. He should have been in that movie. But he’s still such a major part of that era of music. Cheers Mr. Shelton.
I find a lot of knowledge in Louie.... I am so glad that he spends time with us here on RUclips
Louie is a great guitar player and left his mark on the music scene of the mid 60s and 70s and beyond. What an amazing talent.
There were up to 400 people who were part of The Wrecking Crew. They each took turns standing out
Fantastic interview!
Great perspective from Louie Shelton on that era of anonymous session musicians. His performance on The Monkees' "Last Train To Clarksville" was the very definition of Chuck Berry's line, " but he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell." I just wish I had known it was Louie back in the summer of 1966.
🎸 Louie should've been in that movie. 🎸 🤗
Great interview! My Stepdad was Billy Strange and I must say he was a little miffed when his interviews were not in the movie either. Like Louie's you can find them in the extras on the blue ray disc, sadly Billy passed away before the disc was released. I think he understood it was Denny's movie tribute to his dad and not him. Again, great interview!
I buy every Billy Strange album I find. I like his stuff a lot.
True a ton of fabulous musicians were excluded unfortunately. I hung out with the Hellecasters years ago. A lifetime dream come true❤
This really cuts to the chase on why Louie Shelton is a legend and has played on so many hit records - he played anything the producers/bands asked him for (and more) regardless of his feelings about the music. Such an amazing guitarist and so humble - I have a lot of guitar heroes but this guy is the one I respect most.
❤❤❤the best. Right here Louie Shelton
Great question that elicited Louie’s thoughtful, insightful and informative response!! Tx!!
I think ericsh stated it correctly. Denny Tedesco stared out making a movie about his father, so when he expanded it to be about the entire group, it's only natural that he would focus on the players his dad played with. I don't think that's a slight against Loie Shelton or Jim Keltner or any of the guys who were more around in the late 60s/early 70s, that just isn't the era the movie was focused on, that's all.
Louie is a legend!
Good question. Interesting answer. He basically explained the line up changes in the Wrecking Crew. Excellent info.
So deserves to be there. Hopefully in round two.
Very interesting interview.
Guitarists know Louis Shelton's contribution to music even if he was not featured in the documentary.
Rule 1 of research, check the hidden extras on a dvd.
Every guitarist was amazed at the Last train to Clarksville. I didn’t know there were overdubs in recordings!
I hear what he's saying....there's mythology and there's reality.....Not to take anything away from the "Wrecking Crew" documentary narrative.ALL those Cats were Cool....and there were many of them. Worthy of an encyclopedia series for what they contributed! Thank you!
I just found out about him when I saw him playing I want you back, by the Jackson 5. I got cramps in my fingers just watching him.
Very good installment here with the underrated Louis Shelton, and very insightful. Thank you.
Maybe relatively late to the party but Louie is definitely an all time great!! 👍👍👍
LOVE THIS POST, LOVE LOUIE!
The movie took twelve years to make and as they said, it started with Danny and his dad but grew from there. I remember hearing in an interview about the movie, that Danny kept finding more people to interview but they were under pressure financially to release it. He did keep going after the film festival release and gave us all those extra interviews on the DVD.
I always loved the bass on Age of Aquarius, The Fifth Dimension, and I discovered Joe Osboune played it and even got to see him play a bit of it and so many others because of it. I'm only grateful.
l saw Louie play "'Last train" with Mike & Micky In Brisbane....will never forget it.😀👍
Great video as always
Interesting take always wondered about inner circles among the session groups
Jerry Donahue told me he was a huge fan of Louie! I met The Hellecasters (a dream) ❤- and Jerry gave me 2 hours of his time going over The Last Train to Clarksville. Jerry was incredible. (I suck) Please let Louie know. Thanks
Mr. Shelton not In the Wrecking Crew movie... really was puzzling.
Well, there ya go.
SUPERB interview technique by letting the subject speak! A recent study found that the Bill Maher interviews are comprised of 80% of his blathering. In that case, it’s not an interview, is it?
There was NO 'wrecking crew'. This myth was made up by Hal Blaine to promote himself and sell books. Instead there was a clique of a few first-call musicians, several of whom were not given due by Denny Tedesco for expediance, political and 'financial' reasons related, in-part, to GIT.
There were so many great musicians that were left out. How about James Burton who played on nearly 400 albums and played for Ricky nelson, Emmylou Harris and the King Elvis himself! I just don't get it? I met James in person and I know for a fact he even played on at least one Glen Campbell album.
Louie tells the truth about Tedesco and company, as I've never heard any solos from them, just jenga jenga jenga. Louie is such an incredible player and modest, Unlike Tommy Tedesco and blowhard Hal Blaine. Blaine and Tedesco scoff at the mention of stars they've played with, acting like they are the real stars. Tedesco and Blaine were great musicians, but the arrogance is just too much.
Sounds like he got screwed
by the screws...🥸...as usual.
Those of us who know; KNOW (and won’t ever forget). A classy guy answering with class and respect!!
