Talk Is Cheap was a turning point in that he primarily used his lower vocals register throughout, a different voice from the vocals we were used to on Happy, BTMMR, etc. and of course his high harmonies with Mick.

A pleasure, Simon. A near Herculean task for such a worthy cause...and we did manage an ale the last time Mr Dylan fancied some shortbread.

RIP the Kinkster. Saw him several times before he stopped flying to Europe after 09/11. Still got my Kinky for Governor T shirt somewhere. Talented and witty guy. Cared about animal welfare and ran a summer school for kids too.

QuoteFeelslikeaGhost QuoteStoneage Some short notes: I don't think either Angry or Mess It Up works well live. In fact I consider them "Mick songs". WWW works better though. And I think it's time for Keith to try a new ballad from HD instead of the "same olds". It's the hsame pattern as before: Song 1-7 have variations, after that the usual suspects (except for

From what I've heard, Steve Jordan sounds like Steve Jordan playing with the Stones. He is not trying to sound like Charlie Watts. Respect.

I would suggest a steel string acoustic to begin with. You'll need to learn basic chords and develop your right hand technique (strumming with a plectrum, possibly finger picking). That in itself can be a lifelong journey. Start off in standard tuning. If you decide to move to electric you'll have a better technique from having learned on acoustic. Don't be diverted by open tun

QuoteKoen QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteKoen I saw her a long time ago when Doug Pettibone was her guitarist. He could create magical sounds. He is back, isn’t he? I have no idea. But that would be exciting! Doug Pettibone and Marc Ford gel well on this tour. Doug plays most of the lead work with Marc mainly letting rip on blues based progressions. Was particularly impressed by Doug's

Great band. Never managed to catch them back in the day, although saw Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson in 1975. Have seen Ian many times since and also two Mott the Hoople reunion tours, the last of which, just before lockdown, was sublime. Ian Hunter's a big Stones fan. Check out where the title Sticky Fingers originated...

BV, I can only echo what has already been said. A long time lurker, I finally joined 18 years ago. I still have a copy or two of the original magazine too. This is a great site for information exchange, opinions and rumours. Apart from entertainment and gaining knowledge, I've found it particularly valuable with regard to ticket sales, pre and post show meet ups, etc. I've met some

Yes, her technique is impeccable. Her covers of classic country blues are wonderful and she's definitely one to watch as her skills further develop.

My postie (mailman) was listening to it this week whilst making his deliveries. Told me he was really enjoying it. I'm guessing he knows I'm a fan by the t shirts I've worn answering the door to him over the past few years.

Quotekovach I saw him too with Junior Wells, Koko Taylor, BB King and Lonnie Brooks. He was all about the business of playing awesome guitar and while I already heard of stories and was excited to see him it surpassed all expectations. He did get a little goofier as time went on , not sure why, but sometimes only showed flashes of that brilliance. Either way, he's the last living blue

It was a cracker. Had read about the T birds and how much Muddy liked them. They came onstage to an audience of about eight people. Kim Wilson wore a turban, Jimmy Vaughan was coolness personified and what a beautiful noise they made. Ran downstairs to the bar between songs to let pals know what they were missing. A buzz went round and the hall started to fill. It was rammed for Rockpile who di
