I was just watching your videos for The Garden and Roll the Bones (again). Would love to see/hear your reaction to Mission (from Hold Your Fire). ruclips.net/video/nlUhIXZnFYw/видео.html
I'm glad you enjoyed this song. The whole album is a gem. Enjoy it. Do me a favor, tho. Go back to your unboxing (#3) and see yourself through our eyes, now that you have witnessed this song.
That whole Duane Allman Anthology is great. Diame did alot of studio work before and during the early years of the Allman Brothers. He wanted to earn some extra money to keep the band going. It was from this Hey Jude song that Eric Clapton and Duane Allman met and eventually he was party of the great Layla album by Derek and the Dominoes.
According to the Muscle Shoals documentary, Duane Allman pretty much changed the entire recording session one day while everyone had gone to lunch. It was Duane who had convinced Wilson to cover Hey Jude. As Jimmy Johnson, who was one of the studio musicians, and who did his share of producing, once said, " And then, there was southern rock."
They stayed at the studio because Pickett, being black and Duane being a hippie weren’t treated too well, to say the least, in Alabama. The funny thing is, hippies had more trouble in public at that point in time.
Pickett thought Duane was crazy for wanting to cut "Hey Jude" so soon after the Beatles had such a big hit with it. The sad part is, the horns on this recording overpower a lot of Duane's playing. He should have been out front.
Ditto! I’ve been listening to this song for 37 years after my brother played me the record for the first time at 6 years old. I still get goosebumps every time I hear it.
You know Wilson Pickett-- "In The Midnight Hour", "Mustang Sally", "Land Of A Thousand Dances", "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love"..... The list goes on & on [& on!]..... It's one helluva rabbithole, Alice!
@@jaewok5G No: 'for the record' the "fifth Beatle" is Billy Preston, the main keyboard player on *all* of the great Beatle hits.... George Martin was a distant twelfth.... And Wilson Pickett never got within a thousand kilometres of the Beatles.... 'for the record'.... Blessed Be, & Peace!!
It was Duane Allmans idea for Wilson Pickett to record this song. Duane was a session musician at Muscle Scholes before forming the Allman Brothers. Wilson didn’t want to do it but Duane talked him into it. It became His biggest hit.
This song has given me chills since I stumbled on it on a Duane compilation cd in the ‘90s. In the liner notes it said that the studio staff thought that the world was ending because Duane’s amp was turned up all the way!
Then you've got to check out the album, "Duane Allman, An Anthology". It has a lot of Duane's work at Muscle Shoals and it's a who's who, of classic R & B. Both black and white folks. The list starts with Wilson Picket, Aretha and goes on to folks like Boz Scaggs and"Cowboy". That album and "...An Anthology II, are two of my favorite albums growing up. A sampling of some of the best Soul, R&B, Blues, Country and Country Blues you'll hear from the 60's.
While at the end it says remember Duane, let's always remember Wilson too! Both were monster musicians that we had the privilege of knowing, if only for a short while.
Many people, myself included, consider this track to be the very birth of the genre of southern rock, particularly Duane's outro solo. (Gregg is the Allman Brother with the voice and the tasty organ, by the way, not Duane.) By the way, the band is almost exclusively white country boys, who for years cranked out the very finest R&B with a host of black artists, to include Aretha Franklin and Percy Sledge. If you ever wondered what Lynyrd Skynyrd meant by that line in "Sweet Home Alabama" that goes, "Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers," the Swampers is the informal collective name for all the studio musicians that cycled in and out of Muscle Shoals making this great music in the sixties and seventies. If you have not seen the documentary about Muscle Shoals, you absolutely must. It is the untold story of the soul hit factory located in a nondescript little town in Northwest Alabama.
Check out Duane Allman sing on Going Down Slow. He does the vocals and guitar. It's an incredible song. It's on his anthology, and you can hear it on RUclips also.
Eric Clapton has called Duane’s solo on the ride out his favorite solo of all time. And the main reason he sought him out for that Derek And The Dominoes record. A very important song!
Yep and everyone loves that solo, but next time you hear the song, pay special attention to Duane's fills (the subtle notes he fills the spaces betweet Wilson's notes). They are some of the best I've ever heard
Wilson takes us to church!! I’m sure you’ve heard “Mustang Sally” and “In The Midnight Hour”. Another great Duane Allman collaboration is with Eric Clapton in Derrick and The Dominoes. Try “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad” for a non stop Allman/Clapton guitar duet/duel. Thanks Jamel!!
You just can't get any better than this, the greatest soulful voice in the business with Duane's brilliant guitar ! This is and has been my favorite cover of all time, nothing touches it!
This is the song that Duane got a record deal from. Duane didn’t write songs, didn’t sing, didn’t have a band, and yet they gave him a record deal after they heard this solo. The birth of the Allman Brothers Band.
Actually, Duane did sing sometimes. Going Down Slow, on his anthology and on RUclips. He didn't have the killer voice Gregg had, but it's absolutely worth a listen. Here's the RUclips link: ruclips.net/video/QkFOBZRAbMU/видео.html
Also of note, he was the very first guitar player to get a contract for session work, and it came from Jerry Wexler after Rick Hall played the tape of this performance over the phone. The contract was for $10,000, unheard of at the time, especially for "just a guitar player".
If you have never seen the film "The Commitments", watch it, it is brilliant, and the have an awesome nod to Wilson Picket at the end. Won an oscar for the soundtrack.
Alright damnit. Time to gets real. Time for Reverend Al Green. The Sultan of Smoove. The Falsetto King. Let's stay together, Tired of Being Alone, Love & Happiness. I'm still in love with you, I can't get next to you, Take me to the River.
Wilson Pickett had the best scream in all of soul music and add in those awesome guitar fills by Duane Allman, brother that is just perfection! One of the best collaborations of all time!
That’s the Muscle Shoals sound. Also try Boz Scaggs “ Somebody Loan Me A Dime” with Duane on guitar. Any blues lover will tell you that you’re in for a treat. Wilson Pickett “Mustang Sally “, “ Funky Broadway “,”In The Midnight Hour”, “ Land Of A Thousand Dances “, “Hey Joe”and “634-5789” which he also preformed in the second Blues Brothers Movie. A great singer and as many of early soul singers were influenced by their church experiences.
What a great version of Hey Jude, a soul version with Duane Allman and those horns. I loved early STAX R 7 B music as a kid, Wilson Pickett such an amazing voice.
OMG, I made it 1:34 into your video and I am clapping. This stuff is real. WOW. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for finding this song,. Because, damn. DAMN.. DAAAYYYUUMMM!
'Mustang Sally', 'In the Midnight Hour', and my personal favorite 'Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do)'. How could you hear his songs and not want to immediately discover who the artist is?
I love watching Wilson Pickett perform “Land of a Thousand Dances” at the Soul to Soul concert in Ghana in 1971. The crowd loves him, and you can see his adoration as he looks into the crowd, you should check it out. “Engine #9 is a great, funky song by Pickett, love the cowbell! Try some Barry White, he grew up in South Central LA. “Never Gonna Give You Up” I’m enjoying your reactions to my era too, graduated Tulsa Central 1976!
Jimi Hendrix was in “Wicked” Wilson Pickett’s band for a while, who obviously didn’t feel threatened by playing with great guitar players. This track got Duane Allman noticed and helped make it possible for him to get his band together. Eric Clapton said he heard this and had to pull the car over to listen, and then had to find out who the guitarist was. As far as I can tell, Duane was just hanging out at Muscle Shoals playing guitar (“Skydog” on the Stones’ “Brown Sugar”).
Have mercy! Let the church say Amen!! Preach it Wilson! Love the reaction Jamel. You’re spot on. Such soul in his voice. I’ve not heard this version before but wow!
Duane Allman, surrounded by incredibly talented people, was the visionary of Southern rock. Absolutely the catalyst that saw what could and should be. R.I.P.
One word"The Midnight Hour". Wilson Picket left his mark on the world of song. Like Al Green 's cover of the Beegees "How can you mend a Broken Heart".
YESSSSSS!!! Listen to these two titans. Love Wilson’s voice and I don’t even have to say how great Duane Allman is with that guitar. Jamal, Duane Allman is not singing here. His brother Gregg is the one with soulful voice that you are thinking of. Those two Allman boys had some serious talent, and have given the world the gift of their timeless music!🎸🎼🎸🎼🎸🎼
What needs to be remembered is Duane at 20 or 21 suggested that Wilson cover this great song. Wilson was not sure, but finally decided to learn the song. So the studio band, Wilson, and Duane laid down this unbelievable track. Wilson is incredible, but do is the band and the legend that was Duane Allman was started.
We ready now for some Otis Redding at the Monterey Pop Fest- “ Ive Been Loving You” ANd “ Try A Little Tenderness”. Then “ Dock of the Bay” - it’s so sad and beautiful because Otis died so young.
REMEMBER Duane Allman!! ✌️🍄🍑🎶❤️ He didn’t sing. You need to look up Muscle Shoals. Lot of good, funky music 🎶 comes out of there.😊 the guitar after the vamp!!
The Beatles lived, breathed and recorded several of their heroes who were African-American, and it comes full-circle when black artists cover the Beatles. Holy cow Wilson Pickett blew my head off. Absolutely stellar!!
Duane Allman was the guitarist, Greg Allman the singer. You're thinking of Greg. Duane was a legend on guitar though, especially the slide guitar. He just left us way too soon so not enough people know of him
It's about time that you all rediscovered the Wicked Mr. Pickett! Never have I evah heard a more soulful version of Hey Jude! Great song and kudos to the Beatles, but this was an AWESOME cover! Next can we hear some "Mustang Sally"?
Duane on guitar- there's a song by Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman called "Loan me a Dime" . It's a cover song, the original was Fenton Robinson, one of the greatest blues songs ever.
Jamal, the back story to this song is that neither Wilson (as a black man) nor Duane (as a long haired hippy) felt comfortable going to the local diner when the session players took a lunch break. They stayed behind, and Duane Allman tried to convince Wilson to do this song. Wilson was adamant about not doing it. When Rick Hall (the owner of Muscle Shoals) found out about Duane’s idea he was also against it because Hey Jude was already on the charts as a hit by The Beatles. Duane persisted, and because Wilson had so much respect for Duane, he finally said okay. He told Duane to do what he wanted in the song, and boy oh boy, did he. The rest is history. I believe their is a whole story about that in the Muscle Shoals documentary. A must see.🎷🎺🎸🎼
Here’s a few other Wilson Pickett songs that you might enjoy: “In the Midnight Hour”, “Land of 1,000 Dances”, “Funky Broadway” & “Mustang Sally”. Thanks for all of the music and smiles.
Recorded in Muscle Shoals. Alabama. God gave us R&B and Soul and birthed it in Muscle Shoals. Duane was a guitar prodigy and Wilson was an Original Soul Man. This song couldn't be anything BUT solid gold.
Watching you experience this took me to church right along with you! Thank you so much, Jamal. As close to a concert as I've experienced since Covid began. God bless, you sir. As you said, "Oh my goodness!" .
It takes a great musician to cover a Beatles song and make it their own. In my opinion, Wilson Pickett succeeds in doing so with this magnificent cover of "Hey Jude".
Young man... I have been singing in blues and soul bands for 30+ years and through those years I have performed many songs, time and time again. To the point of refusing to play Mustang Sally by The Wicked Mr. Pickett 'cause it has been done enough. What about 99 and a half, Funky Broadway, 634-5789, Land of a 100 Dances... So many great Wilson Pickett tunes. But getting back the reason I am messaging you. Through the years, the radio industry has inundated us with so many songs and so many versions of those songs that many(me and a lot of local musicians, at least) we have become desensitized to the impact of music. This message is a message of praise and gratitude for you and what you do... What you have done for me. You re-kindle my love for so much of this music!!! I stopped listening to mainstream radio in the mid 80s. It started becoming mundane, pretentious and repetitive to me. At that time period Blues was becoming my main focus. Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roomful of Blues, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf... Also gravitating towards soul like James Brown, Otis Redding, Motown and Stax performers like The Temptations and Booker T. and The M.G.s... but you have brought joy back to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Steely Dan for me!!! Watching you get your "Stanck Face"' raising your hand and testifying, getting goosebumps!!! All those legends have over played and made to everyday and mainstream!!! Thank you for reminding me of my youth, reminding of the sheer joy these brought me and reminding me of why music became a way of life for me!!! I have been singing for over 30 years and I am very passionate about blues and soul. Music is my psychotherapy. It grounds me after a Helluva career and life. Your passion and joy are a sight for sore eyes 'cause I feel or see very little soul in today's mainstream, "cookie cutter" artists of the present. Thank you for your youthful and welcoming spirit. Sincerely and respectfully, Rich Robben vocalist of Buddha Blue, Jefferson City Mo... Just in case you get a second to look us up.

@@nian_purkhard Duane actually spent some time sleeping in a tent in the grass out back of the studio.
I'd say southern SOUL
@@alonzodesantis6989 Except that southern soul was already well-established by then.
Pickett thought Duane was crazy for wanting to cut "Hey Jude" so soon after the Beatles had such a big hit with it.
The sad part is, the horns on this recording overpower a lot of Duane's playing. He should have been out front.

me too!!!
Wicked Pickett! No one can sing with this man. He was a force.
OMG Just knocked me out of my socks....RIP WILSON & DUANE
You know Wilson Pickett-- "In The Midnight Hour", "Mustang Sally", "Land Of A Thousand Dances", "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love"..... The list goes on & on [& on!]..... It's one helluva rabbithole, Alice!
I like my metal but I love Jamals reaction, vids and I reckon, Wilson Pickett is way, way, up there with, Oyis Redding.

Wilson didn’t want to do it but Duane talked him into it. It became His biggest hit.
I work across from Fame studios where this was recorded.
I think this was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield.
TRUTH !!!
@@ginatate6569 it was Fame. Sound Studio wasn't open yet.
Rick Hall gave all the credit to Duane but took credit for it when Tom Dowd told him it was genius! 🤣😂
Oh Lord. Never heard this before. As soon as he sang Hey Jude, I was done. Then the horns. This really stirred my soul. So good.
Those horns indeed- especially that baritone sax!
You just heard one of the greatest covers ever done in history!
The best Beatles cover, period.
By far and away the best cover of a Beatles song and in my mind surpass the original
Absolutely
so goooooood
This song has given me chills since I stumbled on it on a Duane compilation cd in the ‘90s. In the liner notes it said that the studio staff thought that the world was ending because Duane’s amp was turned up all the way!
Duane played guitar on everyone's cut's back in the day. It was Greg that had a soulful voice.
I have never heard that cover before. Holy Crap that was Amazing! Wilson Pickett owned this and Duane Allman behind him. Just wow!
This is where the phrase "bad to the bone" probably came from.
Amen
I agree. Wow!
Wow

While at the end it says remember Duane, let's always remember Wilson too! Both were monster musicians that we had the privilege of knowing, if only for a short while.
Some early Duane, very nice. Boz Scaggs' Loan me a Dime with Duane is also a must listen.

Yo brother Jemel, you really should watch the documentary on Muscle Shoals! It’s worth your time as we all can see you honestly appreciate good music!
Netflix documentary is outstanding viewing. Please watch it if you haven’t
Check out Duane Allman sing on Going Down Slow. He does the vocals and guitar. It's an incredible song. It's on his anthology, and you can hear it on RUclips also.

I've never heard this rendition. It's definitely ear candy in the finest sense is the word!!!!

Why Does Love Got to be so Sad is a masterpiece. Duane at his best.
MUSTANG SALLY for sure !!!
He blew my eardrums out.
Aretha Franklin was recording at Muscle Shoals and she says "get me that white cat on guitar" everyone knew she meant Duane Allman
Duane plays the lead on Aretha's take on "The Weight." You then know why she asked for him.
Nice
Amen
Queen said, "get that white cat", go get him damn it!
I'm surprised I didn't know that, damn, I should have known that.
Wicked Pickett! Duane is on the guitar. Duane talked Wilson into doing this song while they were recording his album in Muscle Shoals.
"Wicked Pickett" is just about the best damn nickname in music.
"Whats-a matter, you ain't got the balls to play white boy music"=Duane Allman
SO beautiful, soul for days and days.
AMEN. Wilson was the straight truth. What a marvelous voice. You can feel thus deep in your core. He was easy on the eye too.
I was lucky enough to see Wilson preform live once upon a time ... One of my all time favorites....❤️
Best scream ever in popular music!
Wow this version kicked so much as*!! Thank you Wilson, Duane and that whole ensemble!!
Looks like we were both surprised by Wilson's "wail"
So good.
I got goosebumps too!
You just can't get any better than this, the greatest soulful voice in the business with Duane's brilliant guitar ! This is and has been my favorite cover of all time, nothing touches it!

Duane and Aretha recorded "the weight" and son of a preacher man.
Also great tracks
Looooove Aretha Franklin's version of Son of a Preacher Man. It feels more authentic than the Dusty Springfield version 😊

Wilson Pickett “Mustang Sally “,
“ Funky Broadway “,”In The Midnight
Hour”, “ Land Of A Thousand Dances “,
“Hey Joe”and “634-5789” which he also
preformed in the second Blues Brothers
Movie. A great singer and as many of early soul singers were influenced by their church experiences.
What a great version of Hey Jude, a soul version with Duane Allman and those horns. I loved early STAX R 7 B music as a kid, Wilson Pickett such an amazing voice.
When Eric Clapton first heard this song, he had to find out who was playing that slide guitar.
Duane helped Eric write Layla
It is one of the best written and played song in rock music! Layla that is!
Even though the song is about Eric stealing George Harrison's girl Pattie Boyd
And then Layla happened
Didn't Eric Clapton call this "the best rock and roll guitar playing"?
OMG, I made it 1:34 into your video and I am clapping. This stuff is real. WOW. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for finding this song,. Because, damn.
DAMN.. DAAAYYYUUMMM!
'Mustang Sally', 'In the Midnight Hour', and my personal favorite 'Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do)'.
How could you hear his songs and not want to immediately discover who the artist is?
I love watching Wilson Pickett perform “Land of a Thousand Dances” at the Soul to Soul concert in Ghana in 1971. The crowd loves him, and you can see his adoration as he looks into the crowd, you should check it out. “Engine #9 is a great, funky song by Pickett, love the cowbell!

Such soul in his voice. I’ve not heard this version before but wow!
Nobody - and I mean nobody - could scream like Wilson! I could listen to him all day every day!

Duane Allman, surrounded by incredibly talented people, was the visionary of Southern rock. Absolutely the catalyst that saw what could and should be. R.I.P.

We ready now for some Otis Redding at the Monterey Pop Fest- “ Ive Been Loving You”
ANd “ Try A Little Tenderness”. Then “ Dock of the Bay” - it’s so sad and beautiful because Otis died so young.
As a Beatles fan this blows the original version away. Dwayne called Wilson The Sky Man for good reason. scream in soul at its best.!!!!!
REMEMBER Duane Allman!! ✌️🍄🍑🎶❤️
He didn’t sing. You need to look up Muscle Shoals. Lot of good, funky music 🎶 comes out of there.😊 the guitar after the vamp!!
my old stomping grounds. lived there for over 15 years, but I moved away 2 years ago.
I’m in Georgia and have made the trip over there. Beautiful place ✌️
This is the best song ever. Seriously .. ever. Pickett's voice and Allman's ringing guitar. Best, ever.
That scream is exactly why they call him Wicked Picket.
Duane and Wilson poured their souls into this cover..... literally!!!!!
Wow wow! I've never heard this! Love love love it!
The Beatles lived, breathed and recorded several of their heroes who were African-American, and it comes full-circle when black artists cover the Beatles. Holy cow Wilson Pickett blew my head off. Absolutely stellar!!

I've never heard this cover before, and it's the BEST version ever! Thank you for taking me to church!

OMG, i love this so much..First time i am hearing this! Amazing..
It's about time that you all rediscovered the Wicked Mr. Pickett! Never have I evah heard a more soulful version of Hey Jude! Great song and kudos to the Beatles, but this was an AWESOME cover! Next can we hear some "Mustang Sally"?
The Epic Wicked Pickett....man, my bros had him on the turntable daily in the 60s, how great is he & the Allmans...doesn't get any sweeter❤🎸🇺🇸
Fabulous version of this song which I hadn't heard before, thanks for sharing it.
Music should make you feel something. Mission accomplished. Great choice Jamal!
Oh, I love this!! Headed to itunes to get this & more of his music. Love, love!
Duane on guitar- there's a song by Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman called "Loan me a Dime" . It's a cover song, the original was Fenton Robinson, one of the greatest blues songs ever.
Jamal, the back story to this song is that neither Wilson (as a black man) nor Duane (as a long haired hippy) felt comfortable going to the local diner when the session players took a lunch break. They stayed behind, and Duane Allman tried to convince Wilson to do this song. Wilson was adamant about not doing it. When Rick Hall (the owner of Muscle Shoals) found out about Duane’s idea he was also against it because Hey Jude was already on the charts as a hit by The Beatles. Duane persisted, and because Wilson had so much respect for Duane, he finally said okay. He told Duane to do what he wanted in the song, and boy oh boy, did he. The rest is history. I believe their is a whole story about that in the Muscle Shoals documentary. A must see.🎷🎺🎸🎼
First time hearing this........great cover ....🎵🎶🎵..... love Wilson Picket.....
Here’s a few other Wilson Pickett songs that you might enjoy: “In the Midnight Hour”, “Land of 1,000 Dances”, “Funky Broadway” & “Mustang Sally”.
Thanks for all of the music and smiles.
Don't forget Wilson Pickett's "Somebody To Love"!
Never, ever heard this version before & it is AMAZING!!!!
This song is almost a religious experiance. Try some Otis Redding next.
The same could be said about pretty much any Wilson Picket or Otis Redding song. Seriously.
These arms!
It’s a travesty that Duane and Otis never played together
Beautiful! Duane's guitar is amazing, Duane all the way. And Wilson's voice, just all good.
The track that put Duane Allman on the map.
Wilson Pickett's voice was and still is one of the greatest voices to ever be listened to.
You seriously need to react to "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I really think you'd dig it!!
Agreed!
@@WalkerStalker Its definitely my favorite Skynyrd song
Love that song.
This + 1 skrillion.
He NEEDS to do it 🔥🎸🎤
I wouldn't be surprised if a microphone ever just disintegrated in Wilson Pickett's hand as he was singing. My goodness, what a voice!
Mustang Sally,Land of a thousand dances and The midnight hour were some of his big hits.
Recorded in Muscle Shoals. Alabama. God gave us R&B and Soul and birthed it in Muscle Shoals. Duane was a guitar prodigy and Wilson was an Original Soul Man. This song couldn't be anything BUT solid gold.
Yes indeed! Been waiting for you to do this one. The song that helped spark the fire 🔥 of Southern rock! The story of this recording is great!!
Watching you experience this took me to church right along with you! Thank you so much, Jamal. As close to a concert as I've experienced since Covid began. God bless, you sir. As you said, "Oh my goodness!" .
I grew up in this era but I don'r recall hearing this version. My mistake. This is off the hook!! Love you too Jamel!
Just an add, love Wilson Pickett, Mustang Sally is the best song for the dance floor!!
I love this song.... Fantastic man!
It takes a great musician to cover a Beatles song and make it their own. In my opinion, Wilson Pickett succeeds in doing so with this magnificent cover of "Hey Jude".
Young man... I have been singing in blues and soul bands for 30+ years and through those years I have performed many songs, time and time again. To the point of refusing to play Mustang Sally by The Wicked Mr. Pickett 'cause it has been done enough. What about 99 and a half, Funky Broadway, 634-5789, Land of a 100 Dances... So many great Wilson Pickett tunes. But getting back the reason I am messaging you. Through the years, the radio industry has inundated us with so many songs and so many versions of those songs that many(me and a lot of local musicians, at least) we have become desensitized to the impact of music.
This message is a message of praise and gratitude for you and what you do... What you have done for me. You re-kindle my love for so much of this music!!! I stopped listening to mainstream radio in the mid 80s. It started becoming mundane, pretentious and repetitive to me. At that time period Blues was becoming my main focus. Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roomful of Blues, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf... Also gravitating towards soul like James Brown, Otis Redding, Motown and Stax performers like The Temptations and Booker T. and The M.G.s... but you have brought joy back to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Steely Dan for me!!! Watching you get your "Stanck Face"' raising your hand and testifying, getting goosebumps!!! All those legends have over played and made to everyday and mainstream!!! Thank you for reminding me of my youth, reminding of the sheer joy these brought me and reminding me of why music became a way of life for me!!! I have been singing for over 30 years and I am very passionate about blues and soul. Music is my psychotherapy. It grounds me after a Helluva career and life. Your passion and joy are a sight for sore eyes 'cause I feel or see very little soul in today's mainstream, "cookie cutter" artists of the present. Thank you for your youthful and welcoming spirit.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Rich Robben vocalist of Buddha Blue, Jefferson City Mo... Just in case you get a second to look us up.
God dang that just make every hair on your body stand to attention. Lhm great stuff.
Hallelujah! Thanks for playing that! I'm sure the Beatles would have loved this.
Oh Lord I never heard this version... Volume Up
