Jackson Browne’s “I’ll Do Anything “ is just about the best concert on RUclips. With JB’s great songs, Sara and Sean Watkins and Val, it is beautiful from start to finish. They make it appear effortless - like they’re all best friends having fun playing exceptional music together. Val’s fills and solos are perfect.
Great interview. I have become a real fan of Val and now have his songs in my head after listening so intently. Truly an inspirational musician and solid songwriter.
Great interview, I discovered Val while listening to Jackson Brown lately, it interesting learning about his young life and all the people he has known. His guitar playing is fantastic, as a guitar player I can really appreciate his tasty playing.
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this interview! I have been a huge Val fan ever since I had the opportunity to see Jackshit a couple of times at the ‘Tater while traveling to LA. Life changing moments seeing such accomplished musicians letting their hair down and having fun playing obscure cover songs! Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Valentine is THE schnizzle! Fabulous, brilliant talent sans celebrity ego. Val's ability to lead and/or follow (and compliment/support/hear) other talents (ie. JB, and more) is inspirational. Thank you for doing what you do. Don't STOP. You get BETTER everyday and we appreciate you! NICE TOUCH always on your guitars!! Good on ya'!!!
Fantastic insightful interview, couple of hours went by fast digging the new album a lot. Val's music and Bow's lyrics blend very nicely and Greg's no slouch! Haha
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Wasn't aware of Val's pedigree! If the guitar thing doesn't work for him, he looks like a natural in surgical scrubs! Enjoy the tour with Jackson coming up.
How the hell do you step into Robben Ford's shoes, not knowing how to read music, and learn his stuff by ear? Robben's playing is not simple. I'm impressed beyond words. I'm a big RF fan.
How interesting. Val, was it in reference to the Victory Tour, you mention a guy who looked like Hendrix. Was that guy possibly a dude named Greg Wright? It's a small world when it comes to musicians. I worked at Capricorn Studio for Johnny Sandlin and the Allman Brothers. There was a guy in Macon, Ga. at that time who played guitar and would come around the house. He looked alot like Hendrix. That guys name was Greg Wright and i heard a few years down the road that he got a gig with Michael Jackson, which was kind of a shock as he was a real rock n roll kind of guy. I enjoyed hearing the Gregg A. stories. I knew him but i never heard many stories about the Gregg Allman Band and the Friends escapades. Jamming with Michael and having Robben Ford for a while i would never have imagined! It blew my mind and i got a few chuckles hearing your perspective. Wondering if you knew Les Dudek, he was in Macon for a minute and almost became a member of the ABB, but it didn't work out. He did play on Dickey Betts' song Jessica on the album. Sounds like you've rubbed elbows with many over the years, so was just curious. Great interview! I learned some things and i thoroughly enjoyed the time. Thanks! PS. totally love Al Greene! Stay Together is one of my all time favorite songs. ❤ I wish I could've traded places with you at that time! Also absolutely love Lucinda. Wow I'm no stranger to stage fright and panic attacks, so I can relate. I carried a small brown paper bag along with me for years. Breathing into that thing would straighten me out right away, it worked. I imagine I looked silly but not as silly as a scene I probably would have made running out of the building screaming! Panic Attacks can be real bears.😮😊❤
Man, Hard Times is my favorite movie!! How cool. Besides being a great musician, I could listen to Val all day, this was so entertaining!! Great guest and great interviewer!!
@@smittysmat7826 Yes, I figured... lol all good man! I got to hang with Val for a bit when he was here in Tampa with Jackson Browne. In real life he looks the spitting image of both of his parents, David McCallum & Jill Ireland
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar One last thing… Now Val doesn’t know me from Adam’s house cat, but I looked him up and “friended” him on FB after seeing the concert video of him playing with Jackson Browne. Never thought more about it. Months later, I randomly saw a concert video of Cindy Lauper doing some country song. I thought it was pretty odd but was I pretty impressed with her effort. So, I posted the video to FB with some positive comments. Imagine my surprise when, out of the blue, Val responded to my post saying it(Lauper’s performance) was pretty lame and at best, mediocre. 😂 Maybe it was bad, 🤷♂️ but I was more struck that Val had seen it, and even more so, cared enough to chime in on my novice take. 😂
I love Val. His playing is distinctive and when you've listened to him you begin to learn him. I wasn't aware that his Dad was David McCallum. He was a long standing character in The Man From U.N.C.L.E who was called Illya Kuryakin. He had a trendy and cool hair style back in the 1960s and everyone who could get away with it tried to imitate his haircut. Cool family with a lot of talent. Here's a link to Val singing "Simple Isn't Easy". The man has got some great vocal chops: ruclips.net/video/otDvc7siHdc/видео.html
Gregg kept his band going and toured around the country from mid 70s until his death in 2017. I believe he used his band to record his final album Southern Blood in Muscle Shoals. The Allman Brothers band retired from performing in 2014 . Rest easy Gregg ❤

'Naked Ride Home' is poignant and perfect, what a great track.
Anyone else gettin’ a Jed Clampett kind of thing?
(That said, I think Val is an amazing guitarist)

Thanks @58landman, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
We say.......''touching cloth''....another good name for the next Jacksh*t album?
I bought an old strat from Val.
Val playing with Gregg Allman musta been in the mid-Seventies
Gregg kept his band going and toured around the country from mid 70s until his death in 2017. I believe he used his band to record his final album Southern Blood in Muscle Shoals. The Allman Brothers band retired from performing in 2014 .
Rest easy Gregg ❤
Our life happens that way because our lives are planned out from God. He puts people and things in our life.
It was a God thing. Don’t disregard. Please keep researching. Such a good interview. Okay. I promise I won’t reply to anything else.
