I can't hear this song without thinking about "Reservoir Dogs."
He's using the bottle as a slide. It's an old Blues technique.
I was thinking the same thing.
Me too, troubling as that scene is.
Bottleneck slide guitar!
similar to steel guitar where they use a steel tube on the finger
Opposite of wholesome, lol
I cannot be the only person who hears this song, and instantly flashes back to ‘Reservoir Dogs’… That scene is indelibly etched in my cinematic mind.
Every time!
Same here. I picture Michael Madsen dancing to it everytime!
💯
Me! Never liked it and hated it after that scene.
@John Barber I can't thumbs up this sentiment enough.
Still loving it in 2021.. was 15 in '73 when it came out.
It's a steel guitar...the bottle is used as a slide. To get a swampy Delta Blues type sound.
You know what I love about watching music reactions? There are not only so many great songs by people you've reacted to that you haven't gotten to yet, but there's a huge number of bands/artists that you haven't heard either! You could do this for years and not run out of material. This is the soundtrack of my life. Man, did I grow up in a great time!
Lead vocalist Gerry Rafferty later went solo and was responsible for the huge hit "Baker Street," which featured a classic saxophone riff.
Thanks for that info, I heard both of those songs a million times and it never dawned on me.
++
I had no idea that was Gerry Rafferty!
The lead vocalist is not Gerry Rafferty but Joe Egan. Gerry is the guitarist but did sing on his solo records
And you guys reacted to Baker Street and it REALLY got to Amber! Justifiably so.
YES! Cool song. STILL holds up over 40 YEARS later! RIP Mr. Rafferty.
Didn't know Rafferty passed....
@@leemcclements8889 Yes, sadly. Google him.
Great musician. Sad life.
Almost 50
@@leemcclements8889 He died in 2011.
A song from the supergroup The Firm with Jimmy Paige and Paul Rogers called Satisfaction Guaranteed. Jimmy uses a beer bottle as a side. Great song.
His name is Gerry Rafferty who sang Baker St with the horns Amber loved so much
The lead singer was Gerry Rafferty--y'all reacted to his song 'Baker Street'. Y'all should listen to another great song by him called 'Right Down the Line'.
Right Down the Line is awesome.
The entire City to City album is great.
That's a great song
Blows my mind that the same person performed Stuck in the Middle and Baker street. This channel reacted to Baker Street on July 27, 2021.
Home and dry!
This is a fun song… We always used to sing while driving in the car and it was on the radio. That’s one thing about back in the day everybody singing along
Especially the Plee- ee-ee-ease. Lol
because you could sing along, try getting all the family to sing along to some of today's music while driving lol.
@@poppad331 I agree, that’s so sad how times have changed. But I still sing, it keeps me young and positive.
Your so right this is a fun song. hadn't heard it in a while.. just sitting here smiling 😊
The singer on the record is Gerry Rafferty, but he left the band before this video was filmed. Standing in for Gerry is Steelers Wheel guitarist Joe Egan. Joe mimes the lead vocal in Gerry's absence. Great song and a terrific reaction R S R. Cheers, RNB
Joe Egan co-wrote this song too!
Always wondered why GR wasn't fronting his own song thanks for info
Joe actually sings the harmonies.
@@paulh1679 He didn't want to do the promotion the record company told him to do...those record executives were the clowns he's singing about.
when you hear the song you can tell its smooth and Jerrys voice. I did wonder why jerry looked different here. because its Joe
The bottle is used as a slide instrument over the strings to create a certain sound. Normally, musicians will use a steal rod that fits over their middle finger to create that sound. Using the bottle was very creative
The singer is Gerry Rafferty. He's got a very popular solo career. This song is about a mythical record executive party and makes fun of Bob Dylan and his paranoia.
Baker Street!
I couldn't make fun of Bob Dylan, he's a master!
@@josephpowell3949 They did it a while back.. the horns nailed her good
That's right. Rafferty had left Stealers Wheel before this song became a hit, so the record company made a video and had Joe Egan lip-sync to Rafferty's vocals for the video. Rafferty then returned to the band, and there is a live video of the band playing this song, with vocals and bass guitar by Rafferty.
@@josephpowell3949 and Right Down the Line
"Is he playing guitar with a bottle?"
Yay, new instrument time! That's actually a specific style of guitar called a lap steel. It's intended to be played flat on your lap, with a slide bar. The strings don't go all the way to the fretboard, so you have to use the slide to produce the notes. Using a beer bottle is mostly for show, but as others have pointed out, it's a reference to the old Black bluesmen to used bottles as slides.
The lap steel is very similar to an acoustic instrument called the Dobro, or resophonic guitar. Alison Krauss's band, Union Station, has one of the finest Dobro players who ever lived, in Jerry Douglass. Check out a live version of their instrumental "Choctaw Hayride," to see the master at work.
Alison Krauss, Union Station, Jerry Douglas. Now your talking. Could get lost for hours in her voice and their sound.
And don’t forget the Pedal Steel guitar! So popular in the CW genre in the 70’s
David Gilmour of Pink Floyd played it also
And then, along with the lap steel and pedal steel you have the guit steel, which is a steel guitar merged with a six string electric, an instrument developed by country musician Junior Brown.
Wait, I thought Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever sing the blues? Jerry who? :)
This is what the song is about- and it comes from the liner notes of RIGHT DOWN THE LINE- the Best of Gerry Rafferty cd. The song is referring to people in the record biz- management people and executives of record labels- they are the clowns and jokers referred to in the lyrics. If you know about Gerry Rafferty you know he has had major issues with the record biz all his life. The band (Stealers Wheel) was signed to their label and attended a signing party at a fancy London restaurant. Rafferty described the scene as like "the Last Supper", with everyone sitting around a long table. The song is about the weasels in the record industry, the guys (band) getting drunk, and trying to get out of the entire thing- which they detested. That is the gist of what the song is about.
This song (released in 1972) got a lot of new exposure when used as background music in a somewhat gruesome scene in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992. One character in the scene dances to the song whilst slicing off the ear of another character with a razor!
'Bottle neck guitar' i.e. playing guitar with neck of a glass bottle to get a 'jangly' sound was a traditional blues method. Originally it would be a broken bottle neck with a player's finger inserted into it. It has commonly also been done with a metal tube or other hard object instead and usually known as 'slide guitar'.
"Clowns to the left of me,Jokers to the right" That would be a great campaign slogan..
The #1 1970's song bar none..Deep Purple's "SMOKE ON THE WATER" you will be glad you reacted to the most recognizable 5 cords in rock music.
Nothing compares to Michael Madden dancing to this before the ear goes in Reservoir Dogs. Any time I hear this I just picture that scene
I always think of that poor guy tied to that chair when I hear this song. Tarantino’s soundtracks are always great!
Mr Blonde!
If you’re impressed by the guy playing the guitar in his lap, you should react to Jeff Healey. He was a guitarist that came out in the late 80s who played the guitar in his lap because he was blind and that’s how he learned to play. His biggest song (and one that Amber would probably love) is called “Angel Eyes” but the best song to show off his guitar playing is probably “See The Light.” He died of cancer in 2008, but he was a hell of a musician and didn’t let being blind stop him one bit.
Also "See The Light"
live 1988. Ridiculous Talent
You will absolutely love Jeff Healey. See the light. I guarantee you’ll make room on the guitarists top shelf,alongside Jimi Hendrix
Might as well watch Roadhouse while they are at it ;)
I just love watching you two discover the tunes I grew up and aged on. This 69 year old white guy gives you two thumbs up! I'd give you more if I were issued more. I pray blessings upon all five of you.
Instead of using his fingers to depress the strings to create different, the guitarist uses a glass bootie or metal cylinder to "slide" across the strings to produce the notes. Hence, you just heard a slide guitar.
Lowell George from Little Feat used a 9/16 socket. So if he lost it, he could easily replace it.
@@phantomrockerr Duane Allman used a glass Coricidin bottle
Bonnie Raitt plays a mean slide guitar!
On "Ain't That Peculiar" by Fanny, June Millington uses the bottleneck she made herself in the traditional way, heat-treating the rough edges. Beat-Club 1971 live set, unedited. ruclips.net/video/imZUqkPlUaQ/видео.html
@@lynnerapping7725 love me some Bonnie Raitt!
The lead singer was the late Gerry Rafferty, who sang "Baker Street", his first solo hit. You both reacted to and uploaded it on July, 27.
Thank you. You have said exactly what I was going to say. You saved me using my painfully arthritic 3 fingers.😊 Just another bitterness information, Gerry Rafferty used to live down the road from me.
Bit of useless information. Stupid predictive text!😊
"Right down the Line " was My Favorite from Gerry Rafferty !!!!!
@@tinapatterson5022 I like "Get It Right Next Time" as well.
@@emmafrench7219 'Bitterness information' is quite a good phrase though, I'm going to hang onto it and one day I'll find the perfect moment to say it. 'As the eminent Emma French once said . . . '
The beer bottle technique is just an adaptation of using a slide on a guitar. This is actually not a regular guitar, but what is known as a lap guitar. It's played horizontally, normally with a slide (looks like a polished piece of pipe made of metal or plastic) over the finger. When bands played in bars it was not unusual for the guitarist to just grab a beer bottle to use for the slide effect. Jay, when you learn guitar you will eventually learn slide technique.
Slide is almost all I do.... love it
Nope, if you play guitar you don't *have* to learn slide guitar. I'm pretty sure the majority of guitar players never do.
Or slapping as a bass player. Yes, It's a useful technique to have in your repertoire, but there's no law that says you have to learn it.
(If you're a pro/session musician, things change… but then again, it would be much more likely for them to call someone who specializes in slide playing than ask any guitarist they already have booked if she can play slide)
@ never said it was law, and I do. A lot of us do play with a slide on certain vintage rock, country, and jazz songs. I only meant that as he gets into guitar he "can" learn about it more then. Sorry I offended you enough to defensively argue a point. Seems it's becoming the norm in younger generations. It gets chilly these days and snowflakes can fall. Have a blessed evening! 🙏🏻☝🏻❤️
@@michaelmacdermott6340 If you meant that he _can_ learn, why did you write that he _will_?
And I take the "younger generation" as a(n unintended) compliment. To the rest: LMAA.
The Lead Singer Is Amber's Favorite-- "GERRY RAFFERTY"-- who Also Sang " BAKER STREET". ( With The Incredible Horns). R.I.P.
King Harvest "Dancing In The Moonlight"
King Floyd "Groove Me"
Boz Scaggs "Lowdown"
Love that King Harvest song!
The guy singing in the video isn't actually the voice on the recording. Gerry Rafferty was the singer but left and went solo before this video was made. His school friend Joe Egan is the guy in the video.
That's why I was so shocked that it was Gerry Rafferty! He looked nothing like him when he sang Baker Street. Now I knw why! Thanks for sharing. Xx
Trivia: this song was used as the background for Indy 500 TV coverage when they had a montage of the infield fans. It's a pretty traditional event and crowd, but this was the audio for a polite version of '70s letting loose.
Yes, he is playing the slide guitar with a bottle. Duane Allman played his with an Excedrin bottle. You raise the strings on a slide guitar and play them with anything that you like. People use glass tubes, brass tubes and all kinds of stuff.
The Song Was Written About A Music Industry Cocktail Party They Attended..The Slide Guitar Is Usually Played With A Metal Tube (Called A "Steel") On One Finger,, But Anything Can Be Used If You Like..R.I.P. Gerry 🙏 ❤
Gerry Rafferty sings this. You did Baker Street.
Yes, Yes, Yes -- Baker's Street is an absolute classic, with real depth of lyrics.
I knew I'd heard his voice before. I loved Baker Street back in the day, when I was a teenager. X
Yes, she would remember the great sax solo.
I can’t stop watching Seven Hunnid on RUclips bruhhh😭😭😩
Its Joe Egan singing this Gerry was a member of the band but not lead vocalist on this song. check out Gerry and Joe singing Star by Stealers wheel.
The guy playing with bottle is playing a pedal steel guitar. Very often used in Country and Bluegrass music. The bottle gives that lovely ringing sound. This was then adapted to be used on a normal six string. The term "bottle neck" guitar comes from this very thing. You hear this played a lot in Blues and Country music.
I was working in a restaurant.....cook in the middle started singing this...good times...
This is also Gerry Rafferty that you listened to before on Baker Street...and the guitar with the bottle is a slide guitar technique commonly used on a Dobro or steel resonator guitar.
Watch an Alison Krauss video with her band Union Station. Jerry Douglas plays a dobro in the majority of her songs and you can see what it looks like being played.
@@melodymcdonald2140 Oh you mean the best Dobro player ever?? :)
@@timneale5657 Absolutely! Another good example is Travis Tritt’s Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde. 👍😀
This was a sleeper of a song in the 70's, but got a very big revive when it was featured in the movie, "Reservoir Dogs"
It was on the radio all the time in the chicagoland area in the 70s .
It wasn't a sleeper song! It was a big hit!
@@marytschida5756 No, it wasnt a big hit. Dont think it broke the top 40 charts at all. It was revised because of the movie. Didnt say I never heard of it before movie. Actually liked it. Think maybe it was more of a hit in different areas. Def not NYC
@@johnmccarthy7158 bull. Never even knew it was a "hit" after some movie!
I can remember when I heard it on Reservoir Dogs, and it took me back to when I was 10 years old when I first heard this song. Was a Gerry Rafferty fan4life after that.!
This song is played in one of the best/absurdest film scenes ever: Quentin Tarantino’s reservoir dogs! In this scene Michael Madson is cuttin the ear off of some dude! When you saw the movie and this scene you will never think of anything else but madson dancing around this tied up guy, cutting … 😉
Jackie Wilson “Your love is lifting me higher”……..or “Lonely Teardrops” (not as slow as you might think) I see you haven’t listened to Jackie before so thought I’d suggest him. You two are so fun to watch! I’ve got my kids and my best friend watching you guys now too!
Jackie Wilson have plenty of their type of songs. Wilson Pickett,-(Land of 1000 dances) and the Spencer Davis Group,-(Gimme some lovin).
Yesss!!! Jackie Wilson!! 👍
One more time, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter's group , live version.
This is Gerry Rafferty singing, who you reacted to before. The guitar being played with a bottle is a lap steel guitar, though likely they didn't use a bottle on the recording. Old blues guys and others in the American south used to play guitars with all sorts of things like bottles, bottle necks, knives and so on - and that's where slide guitar all started.
Can't overlook the bass on this one; that's a groove and a HALF.
The band’s best known song is also their finest, the wryly paranoid Stuck In the Middle With You. Rafferty and Egan wrote it after a frustrating meal with label executives who talked across them. Drawing lyrical inspiration from Bob Dylan - notably the clowns and jokers of the chorus - they built a memorable folk-rock masterpiece. With sly delivery and a surging pop beat, the song is full of hooks. The simple instrumentation, mostly acoustic and driven by a cowbell, adds to its charm. Have you reacted to Gerry Rafferty's BAKER STREET? I love that song!
Interesting
Rafferty sounds just like Dylan in this song.
And I believe Egan lip syncing Rafferty because Rafferty wasn’t available for the video.
Rafferty also said in interviews, it was loosely poking fun of Dylans paranoia.
Yeah, Rafferty had left the band before the video was made.
As much as I love this song, it's impossible for me to listen to it without thinking of "that" scene in Reservoir Dogs.
Love this song, now your finish the line when you see on Facebook a road sign saying- clowns to the left of me jokers to the right…. Once heard never forgotten.
I'll confess this is the only song I know by Stealers Wheel. But that guy singing - that's Gerry Rafferty. Remember "Baker Street"? With the killer saxophone? That was him solo.
The guy is using a bottle to play slide guitar. This is where an object like a beverage or medicine bottle, or a jack knife or a metal slide made for the purpose is used on the fret board. I used to use a socket wrench extension as a slide. Unlike playing with your fingers, you don't press the strings against the fretboard. The slide kind of "floats" over the strings. This allows you to move up and down the fretboard continuously rather than discretely using the frets. That's what gives slide guitar its unique sound. The guy in this video is playing lap style (literally lying the guitar across the lap). It's a fairly common technique in country and Hawaiian music. You can also play slide holding the guitar "normally." Check out Bonnie Raitt or Derek Trucks of The Tedeschi-Trucks band. Both great slide players.
-JR in Miami
The lead singer, Gerry Rafferty and one of the other members had left the band before the song became a hit. Gerry went on to have a solo career- Baker Street being probably the most famous song. It had another life when Reservoir Dogs came out.
???? Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan actually recorded two more albums as Stealer Wheel AFTER their debut album which this song came off of.
And had 3 top 40 hit singles in the chart in 1973 early 74 , this one plus everything will turn out fine and the last one star sung by Joe Egan .
Love this song. Stealers Wheel was the Scottish folk rock band Gerry Rafferty was in 1972. Later on, he went out on his own & had the big hits "Baker's Street" & "Right Down The Line".
Get It Right Next Time.
Since they've reacted to Baker Street already, they should definitely do Right Down the Line
Singer is Gerry Rafferty from Scotland who sang the big hit Baker Street.
It is basically a finger slide for a guitar but substituting it with a bottle .
This is Gerry Rafferty on vocals, who you heard doing Baker Street. But that is not Rafferty in the video because he had left the group before they shot it.
Egan doing the lip syncing.
Love this song. Such a a good one. It was in the Quentin Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs too.
That boy sure can put together a soundtrack I tell you what
He has the best songs in his movies. Things I’ve never heard, but once I did I had to download them. The Brothers Johnson, Bobby Womack, Joe Tex and others.
@@tequila_mockingbird4525 same. I bought the pulp fiction soundtrack as soon as I saw the movie 🎥
@@tequila_mockingbird4525 The same thing happened when I watched Baby Driver. I was like, man I need this soundtrack!
Michael Madsen dancing around with a straight razor in his hand. Classic!! ;)
Funny and funky song. This must've been on the charts forever--everyone LOVED IT! Not politics--family! Your family all keep coming and they slap you on back and say pleeeaaase!! Wantin' his $$$! Reminds me of the lyrics of Three Dog Night's "Momma Told Me Not To Come." Funny & funky, too.
I would really like to recommend for Female Friday Shelly Fabre, Connie Francis, Doris Day, Brenda Lee, Dionne Warwick (Say a Little Prayer for Me is my favorite) and Rosemary Clooney (George Clooney's Aunt). They are some of the greatest female singers of the 50's and 60's.
Agreed. I also think they'd like Fever by Peggy Lee. And though The Fifth Dimension is a group, Marilyn McCoo usually (always?) sang the lead. Amber would like Aquarius if she wants to hear hippy music.
Outstanding suggestions!!!
Jay and Amber. Check out "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter group. "Get Ready" by Rare Earth. Finally "Hocus Pocus by Focus", it will blow your mind, but you just might love it!
Gotta do "Hocus Pocus" by Focus.
Hocus Pocus . . . OMG yes!
Especially the Midnight Special version where they perform a 7 minute song in 4 minutes.
Precisely!
The lead singer was Gerry Rafferty, he was a Scotsman from a town called Paisley.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!! I love this song and I don't know why. Stealers Wheel isn't even one of my top 5 favorite bands but this song is just so awesome. Then there is the genius use of the song in the film Reservoir Dogs.
The lead vocal is actually Gerry Rafferty (who you guys have reacted to). He and friend and harmony singer Joe Egan started the band in Scotland, and cowrote this song. I am sure you guys have seen or heard people play slide guitar. They usually wear a tube (could be glass, plastic or metal) on one finger of their hand and slide it up and down the strings (much like the way a steel guitar player plays). Back in the day some guitar players realized they could get the same effect from a bottle. Lord knows there were always plenty of empty beer bottles around. So loving taking this trip with y'all. Remembering so much great music and hearing stuff I haven't heard in a long time. Thank You Thank You!!!
I saw a photo of Bonnie Raitt, where you can see clearly that she's using a bottle neck slide.
Suggestions:
Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’
Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’
Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’
Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father,’
and last but not least ...
Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.’
Yes to Roberta!
@@tao4mike Thank you!
Or Roberta's "Killing Me Softly"
You guys might not realize this, but the guy whose been shown singing this song isn't the vocalist who sang lead vocals on this song when they'd originally recorded it
The vocalist who's voice you're hearing is Gerry Rafferty, the same guy who played the song "Baker Street"
Bottleneck guitar is a version of a lap steel guitar. Basically it removes the need to engage the frets, and you can bend the note to the heavens. The bottle, or the steel tube, becomes a moveable fret. Very common in Country music. The Blues folk do it too, now and then.
One of my all time favorite songs ♥️ I’m a singer and I sing this all the time thank you for doing this video ♥️♥️
For some reason, this 1972 song makes me want to hear America's 1971 hit "Horse With No Name."
THe bottle thing is a old style of play used often. You can buy a steel rod to do it, but it's still called a "Bottle neck". The glass (or steel) sliding on the strtings makes a unique sound. Lots of rock bands do it...Free Bird uses it often in the solos.
The scene in Reservoir Dogs while this song is playing..... every time I hear this I think of that! Love Steelers Wheel
You really need to check out Gerry Rafferty's Right Down The Line(it`s actually one of mine and my husband's songs)..it is a great love song! Keep On Rockin'
Golden Earring should be next.
( Radar Love )
I believe the bottle started with the old blues men. It then developed into a finger slide by cutting the neck off the bottle and putting it on your finger. They now make them out of steel. It makes an amazing sound when in the hands of the right people.
HA! another one of my faves thanx guys, enjoy I know you will, Friends they all come running, tap you on the back and say...pleeeaaase...
Absolutely Love Gerry Rafferty, one day someone is gonna react to his song “Get it Right next time”, one of the coolest vibe tunes ever, particularly if you like sax. Imo
That bottle trick, turns an ordinary guitar into an Electric Peddle Steel guitar sound.
This trick is often achieved with a steel tube on the players finger.
I’m not aware of any other hits by Stealers Wheel, but Gerry Rafferty went solo, and omg, he is such a talented musician.
Please react to more of him.
This is a great song choice guys. Love his voice.
Using a bottle on the fret of a guitar is called playing slide guitar. One of the best is Bonnie Rait.
there's not a rocker alive who does'nt know this song!!!! Thanks!
When I think of a song that made a movie scene, I think of this song in Reservoir Dogs. What an EPIC scene!
Omg yes yes
👂🏻
@@Eddie_Booth
I hear you there😉
Horrific! And perfect.
A timeless classic... 😎
Lead singer Gerry Rafferty did a solo song called.. Baker Street... which is another absolute timeless classic
You've heard this guy sing before. Back in July you listened to a song called 'Baker Street' with a big sax in it. That was this guy.
I’ve heard this song 500 times on the radio but I had no idea who the artist was!
The slide guitar is an interesting way to play a guitar, I've seen it done at a few concerts. Jeff Healey is a master of this way of playing. You should definitely check out some Jeff Healey.
😀
All I’ve got to say is Gerry Rafferty was/is a musical genius!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I was 11 when this song came out in 1972 and really enjoyed it when I heard it on the radio, but I never knew the bands name. Learn something new every day. lol
If the singer sounds familiar, it's because he sang another song you reviewed and enjoyed, Baker Street. Yes, it's Gerry Rafferty.
The bottle just becomes a slide, like Eddie Van Halen’s drill
That is an awesome tune. Great in the movie Reservoir Dogs.
Before Stealers Wheel and his solo career Jerry Rafferty was in a Scottish Folk Duo called The Humblebums with singer/comedian Billy Connelly.
Just brilliant, love this song. A karaoke staple all over Scotland. You know the singer from 'Baker Street'. - Gerry Rafferty
What a flashback to summer in NYC when this fun jam 🎵🎵🎵 first came out.....blew up the RADIO . They played it all the time. Upbeat & catchy groove.
Fabulous, it has been a few decades since I heard this song.
Quite clearly singing in Bob Dylan's style. One of the top 4 Rock'n'Roll acts of all time according to Rolling Stone Magazine.
The bottle is a way to play "slide guitar", where you slide it over the strings. There are pieces specifically made to do that, but a bottle works fine and was probably the original way it was done.
Don't forget about the Humblebums, a band before Stealers Wheel, with Jerry Rafferty, and Comedian Billy Connolly, who also played Dain, in The Hobbit, Battle of the five armies.
Absolutely -. Shoeshine Boy.
@@raye402 Steamboat Row, love it.
I’m sitting here at a lake, and singing this song while watching y’all action to this song! 🤙🏻
One of my absolute favorite songs!!!
Driving from Chicago to Springfield, IL, for state swimming championships in a car with only an am station.... heard this song about every 30 minutes THE WHOLE ENTIRE RIDE. There and back. 4 hours there, 4 hours back. :)
This song gained a whole new popularity after it was featured in "Reservoir Dogs" - the scene is classic.
Love this song. I love watching you guys. I can see your genuine love of the older music. I was in grade school when Elvis came out so I've lived through it all. I feel lucky to have been there for all of it but I'm 73 and you guys are young. Haha. Keep up the good work
That playing you saw being done with the bottle is just considered slide guitar. You can basically play slide guitar by sliding any smooth cylindrical surface on the strings of a guitar. It's usually done with a glass or metal tube that you wear on your finger. Also that singer is Gerry Rafferty, the artist responsible for the classic Baker Street.
Yes, the Dobro (guitar played with a slide) is being done with the entire bottle, rather than a "bottlteneck slide". Some players use a steel or brass slide, while others prefer glass. If you notice, the strings are so high that this guitar would be nearly impossible to play with just fingers on the frets, due to how high off the neck the strings are mounted, with the location of the slide acting in the same manner as the frets, making the note the player wishes to play. In fact, some guitars are built specifically to be played in this manner and don't even have frets, just lines where frets would occur, as a guide for the player to position the slide.
Just a fun song! Reminds me of my youth, hanging out in neighborhood dive bars with my best friends and all the other people I grew up with ♥️
Great song and great reaction.
Hey you might give this guy a reaction. He holds a Guinness World Record. He had 5 hit songs with 5 different bands during the 70s. He was a 5 time 'one hit wonder'. His name is Tony Burrows and this band is called First Class, and the song is Beach Baby. It's just like it implies, a Beach Boys type, fun in the sun and the surf song, that was a smash hit. Please react to it. Folks will love it. @
He also sang lead on "Love grows where my Rosemary goes" by Edison lighthouse; "My baby loves lovin" by White Plains; "United we stand, divided we fall" by Brotherhood of Man; and "Gimme Dat Ding" by The Pipkins.
Tony Burrows is one of my favorite music trivia subjects
When I first heard this song on the radio, I thought it was Bob Dylan. It's a great vibe!
loving you finding out just how great and surprising the british bands from the 60s and 70s were
