@@twobeer3316 Actually, Johnette has a long-standing reputation for allegedly being an ill-tempered alcoholic. She didn't grow out it either. During one show I was at she was threatening to throw out people for body surfing. It was a small place and would've been impossible given the stage and ceiling height. Then in 2013, on Twitter, she called some female chef the "C" word and threatened to kick her ass. In 2016 she was reportedly so drunk she fell over during a show in Fort Worth. She's talented and not underrated by any means. She's just not someone people enjoy being around.
I was in my late 20s;early 30s during the 90s, there was so much AMAZING music coming out during that period. There is still some very good stuff coming out if you ignore most of the pop-rock - and even some of that can be fun - I really dig Pink and her sarcastic lyrics.
Completely totally. Adele is pretty good, but I'll take Johnette and Concrete Blonde any day. :) I wonder if Alternative will ever really get the recognition it should.
Commercial radio sucks. The great artists are not played because they speak truth that the corporate overlords must keep wrapped lest they be exposed for the monsters they are.
Their debut album is one of the unicorns of records because every song is awesome and you can put it on and listen straight through.There are very few albums that you can do that.
I was a teenager working as a car lot boy near Seattle when I found this CD in either a car or a demonstration system in the show room. (1992 or 1993) I have been listening to them ever since. After all these years I really see how amazing they were while not forcing you to acknowledge them.
@lloydg9383 I'm just now seeing your post and it takes me back because when I got my license in '88, I worked as a lot boy at a Dodge dealership till '90 when I graduated and went off to college.I loved that job.
No shit! One of my all time favs.... To the comment above, Bloodletting didn't have a filler song on it and a listen from beginning to end always went too damn fast.
Yeah Johnett has one of the top ten female rock and roll voices in the history but when I ask just about anyone if they know who Concrete Blond is they say no or confuse them with something way off. The really interesting thing about Johnett is when she sings shes the loudest woman in the world but since I married the sister of the guy playing the drums in this video; Harry Rushakoff. I was fortunate to meet Johnett and the first time was down in the basement of Chicago's Vic theater. That's the their backstage basically because 125 year old buildings in Chicago never have enough room!!! Anyway Johnett in real person not performing almost speaks in a whisper. So quiet and I wouldnt say shes shy. Naw, I'd say shes extremely intelligent artistic and always paying deep attention to everything so she softly picks her words few and far between except if a subject is really up her alley and then you'll get some intelligent perspective.
One of my favorite bands of all time. Their first big album got me through a couple years of university. Her raw talent was just unmatched since basically the 70's... and now.... Hard to think of anyone who is this good a musician, singer, and just song writer...
@@washyrose5904 Because there is a part where the track cuts off and she is still lip synching to it and there is no sound coming out. It is towards the end. She is a great singer, but she lip syncs like a lot of other great singers. The part is at 3:17.
Such a shame CB was not documented well with regards to LIVE performances/videos. Absolutely LOVE this band, They never made a bad song, even Johnette's solo career. Just an awesome talent.
@Concrete111 Same Unstable Woman Posting Tons of Your Songs and Videos, Right? It’s Certainly None Of My Business But Maybe If She Wasn’t Gathering Your Fans By Pretending To Be You.. Definitely Some Sort Of
Mankey was the secret weapon of this band. Johnette was a formidable frontwoman, especially with her chops on bass, but it wasn't a CB song unless Jim had a solo verse to himself!!! 🎸🎸🎸
If CB was 20 years old today they would be multiple platinum artist. It is really shameful that the industry didn't get behind this voice. Johnette Napolitano was 20 years ahead of everyone else. I remember rocking them in my early 20's while I was still serving in the military. Lifetime CB fan.
Some of her songs are extremely difficult to play and sing at same time ...I have almost gotten there but I do admit I get all fkd up when I'm Walking in London.... And you're watching me walk..talk in Italian and you're hearing me.... talk... singing in Sydney and you are sitting right there.. and I'm feeling you in me ...everywhere... ......EVERYWHERE! Yeah yeah yeah..... I really just got that invisible touch on the back of my neck... It could be from my bass strap or perhaps an electrical ghost zap. This band is absolutely fantastic!
Went to see THEM open for Sting in Worcester. Saw the MM show, in a snowstorm, on Lansdowne St. And finally GOT TO MEET HER at the Middle East as P&T. I am probably one of her greatest fans. Her talent is simply indescribable. Her misses are better than most others' best. If you are reading this Russ, this is one of my all time favorite musical memories with you. I miss you VERY much.
Never was CB music given the airwave time in the 80's and 90's. Only Joey because it was a mainstream hit. I have now listened to 70% of CB songs in the last 203 days, and this is an awesome band. Would love to see them live. Johnette's voice is real, pure, raw...simply a gem. I had Pat Benatar as the best leading vocalist. Well, Johnette and Pat are my #1s. Keep writing great music, both melodically and lyrically Johnette.
It was more than just Joey. Concrete Blonde (named via Michael Stipe of REM) opened for Cyndi Lauper back in the day. Before there was Nirvana there was CB. Some of these performances seem tame but live back then it was shocking how 3 people made such loud incredible music with so much energy.
I think the same. The first time I listened to this song it completely blew me away (also Jenny I read,) but Bloodletting still remains my favourite album by them.
i'm 71 and i've heard from bessie smith, nina simoe to joplin but somehow i missed this one, absolutely stunning, i have two daughters and introduced them to john martyn, tracy chapman, aretha franklin but somehow i missed this
The iTunes on my laptop crapped out so I've been rebuilding my music. I stumbled on some Concrete Blond and I'm SO HAPPY! I love this band. I love her voice! Been listening to her all day... ah...
Reminds me of growing up. In my head this song sounded better with a second guitar and having a dedicated rhythm guitar and lead guitar. Would fill the gaps in guitar energy i feel
Absolutely. underrated....This girl was great with one of the best voices in rock. I just love Concrete Blond! Too bad they never made it big. Didn't she go off to rescue horses or something?
SAME! I was 11 when bloodletting was released (that was before music DROPPED.) As a bass player and singer, I have always loved this band for many reasons.

Never would have guessed that the guy behind the bar at City Gardens would become famous. So many great bands played there and I’m sure Concrete Blonde appeared on Jon’s radar because of his time at City Gardens.
Hauntingly beautiful. She's got a great voice. Johnette Napolitano should have been a superstar. The other band members are also outstanding as well. A+.
ALWAYS LOVED CONCRETE BLOND AND ALWAYS WILL! And, like everybody else, I will spend the rest of my life wondering WHY they weren't BIGGER than they were?
Wherever Johnette is today I hope she is healthy and happy. I saw live shows and have all recordings. This was a real tough tune for her to belt out but she did it damn well.
This song is much harder to perform than it seems.... although it don't seem easy at all. I have broken 11 bones from drunken stupors and many more from other stupidity-fueled fun. God Bless 🙏 We LOVE you #ConcreteBlonde!
Feeling the fire Under my feet I was a liar You were a cheat Playing with knives We were cut close to home Close to the bone You're so alone Something to have Something to hold Something to share So I've been told Deep in your eyes You're one hundred years old Cause the years have not been Kind to you, you know Heal it up Heal it up Heal it up Feeling the pinch Feeling the hole Feeling the void Deep in my soul Feeling my feelings So out of control Cause the years have not been Kind to me, I know Heal it up Heal it up Heal it up
Concrete Blond never got the recognition they deserved, and I can't understand why? First heard Still In Hollywood in the movie the Hidden, loved them ever since!
One of the most criminally underrated bands ever
Very well said, and Absolutely True.
Some diamonds don't shine for all...most people sometimes are really blind....
True-her voice kills me everytime!
Totally agree. My favorite female rock voice.
💯
Johnette and this incredible band of musicians, sadly, never got the attention they deserved in the age of radio.
That is the TRUTH!
Besides joey the rest of their discography is criminally underrated. Her voice is incredible and as good as anyone else in that time period for sure
It’s not just her voice it’s her conviction. Just wow
That is a voice as certain as an iron raiload spike.

And the cover of Tears for Fears Shout. I desperately want to hear all of it! She was killing it!!!

Wherever Johnette is today I hope she is healthy and happy. I saw live shows and have all recordings. This was a real tough tune for her to belt out but she did it damn well.
she fell off stage in texas not too far back in a drunken stupor, but hopefully she's past that

Original artists - there is nothing like them today.
Feeling the fire
Under my feet
I was a liar
You were a cheat
Playing with knives
We were cut close to home
Close to the bone
You're so alone
Something to have
Something to hold
Something to share
So I've been told
Deep in your eyes
You're one hundred years old
Cause the years have not been Kind to you, you know
Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up
Feeling the pinch
Feeling the hole
Feeling the void
Deep in my soul
Feeling my feelings
So out of control
Cause the years have not been
Kind to me, I know
Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up
