In the 80s my husband (who passed in 2004 with brain cancer) and I used to dance to every Powder Blues band song when we saw them live, Kelowna, Kamloops, Penticton. Such great songs, loved them all! Thanks for the sweet memory. We definitely came for rhe dancing!
Powder Blues have some INCREDIBLE Songs! TOM LAVIN is an Amazing Songwriter, Producer and Guitarist too! If they're Touring, they're A MUST SEE, as their Energetic Performances are LEGENDARY!
I was a junior but the grad class of 80' in Shawnigan lake private school hired the Powder Blues to play at their grad party knowing the guys in that class it must have been one hell of a good time.
2 bands that night-Honey Bee opened for us. I got to meet John Fisher and Sharon Wadsworth that night. Another thing I recall was an Asian student who was yakking about Duke Errington (I am sure he was joking).
I saw this Band in the 70's, The Band was playing directly beside our table. Ahhh the Good Ol' Days. Tom Lavin and Powder Blues, Vancouver at its best.
Everything's good about this. One very important thing is the tempo. With out this exact, perfect, relaxed, solid tempo the rest wouldn't come across as good either.
Hah, many fab nights at the Commodore, with HTGR the last song...I would always stick my head in this wall of bass bins they used to have there...Unreal...unfortunately on You Tube you can't get enough volume on this one...get the CD put it in your home or car stereo and crank it...Clean Loud and proud.....an amazing tune by the Powder Blues...If I had a band I would cover it..
@@dingdongdaddyfromchi I have often wondered if the lyrics were directly personal, and now, hearing from the man himself, we know they were. Anyways, I must thank you, as it is a bonafide blues classic. My friends and i, man we loved your band...all the great horn players, Duris Maxwell and his micro 'kit', your right hand man Willie MacCaulder, brother on bass. You guys could (can!) really swing!
@@dingdongdaddyfromchi I did not realise, Jack...but i will guess you Lavin bros are just like all us other bros, kinda always competitive...anyways we love what you guys did, seriously, so great....and the Checkered Demons, wraparound shades! May hide my views!

As a guy who grew up in Vancouver 70's-80's, I agree.
I got this from my parents. Amazing stuff.
Bought this 25 years ago.. I still have it. One of those great finds. A friend had it on vinyl. I heard it once and started looking for it.
Next time sort comments by "newest first".
Saw them at a couple of Vagabonds parties!

THIS IS SOME GREAT BLUES , LOVE THE GUITAR RIFFS AND THE POWDER BLUES A GREAT HORN GROUP
I pulled my album collection from 20 years storage and came across the Uncut LP. What a great sound. Every song still sounds fresh.

I had a great time at The Williams Lake Stampede. I'm guessing 40 years ago
Love this song...

I can say the same thing in a different city in Toronto. The best.
Everything's good about this. One very important thing is the tempo. With out this exact, perfect, relaxed, solid tempo the rest wouldn't come across as good either.
great band, wow, i forgot about these guys! Phelpston Ontario,Canuckville. Cheers 2021
Totally agree. If I had been the one to record this bass line my life could be considered complete. It's perfect!
Thanks for the kind words! It did not complete my life but it did help me ease on down the road.
Epic bass line.
Yes.
Bass line inspired by BB King's Crying Won't Help You which was also in the PB repertoire.
I remember Uncut as one of my most played vinyls in the 80’s...great cranking album!
I SAW THEM IN THE commodore...he was amazing
One of the greats! Great tone on the 335.

One of my favourites.
Whole album is epic. Shame it's not on Spotify.

I wonder what Dan Ackroyd thought of these guys?.....I know he is a massive fan of Downchild B.B.....
@@SSGTA440 Well Tom Lavin is from Chicago. Has to be Elwood approved

An autobiographical song I wrote from Stave Lake Correctional work camp on a brown paper bag.
