    I was in a band that played just ahead of Steve's band the Rugburns on a stage in the street of Encinitas, CA (San Diego North Nounty beach) mid 90s, and decided to stick around to watch the beginning of their show. They were so entertaining and fun, I stayed for the whole thing and bought their CD that they all signed. A few years later I'm in a different band playing another street fair (Adam's Ave, San Diego) just ahead of Bernie Leadon, whose drummer is Dylan's drummer, David Kemper, who complemented me on my performance of "Tangled Up In Blue". Fun times.

      Heard a story 25 years ago, about a journalist who went to Jamaica hoping to interview Bunny Wailer. He asked an acquaintance of Bunny's how could he contact him. He replied "Go out into the open, anywhere, and call out to him." Journalist subsequently did so and looked around only to see Bunny standing 50 yards away, staring at him.

    This brings to mind a show I saw in April 1995 at the Wiltern. Liz Phair, who had broken fairly big by then, was playing solo and Jewel opened for her doing solo acoustic. Jewel was getting serious airplay and she was great on this night! For a couple of songs she brought out a guy from the Rugburns to duet on a couple of songs that were just superb. Amazing vocal blend. I never caught his name or the song titles. I wonder if this was the guy? And what were the songs? Maybe someone out there knows :)
    PS: Found the setlist from 4-11-95. It was Poltz! The played Old Lover's House - - which still play. She guested on the song for the Rugburns album. Great cut!

    @NVRAMboi Месяц назад +3

    Thanks Otis. That's the most honest opinion of Lou Reed (from another performer) I've ever heard - and it's on the money. If it weren't for Dick Wagner (RIP) and Steve "The Deacon" Hunter, I'd have little use for Reed's music. (Exception: "Satellite of Love" with Bowie and Mick Ronson.) Bowie, Mick and Lou are all gone now (RIP to all of 'em). I never got Lou Reed as a "vocalist". I guess he was trying to be Dylan or maybe Prine. Welp.

    • @williamfarr8807
      @williamfarr8807 Месяц назад +10

      There is nothing really to “get” about Lou Reed as a vocalist. Lou Reed was great song writer, and what he lacked in vocal ability, he made up for in attitude and delivery.
