Follow Ups:
Don is an amazing picker--tasty, tuneful, and economical; I saw him
innumerable times in many incarnations at the Continental Club in
wondrous Austin many years ago. I find David Grissom technically
awesome but he doesn't move me like, say, Jessie Taylor, Joe Ely's
other picker over the years. Regards,J.R.
I shouldn't have been surprised,this is an asylum after all,but I really didn't expect anyone to know Don Leady.LeRoi Bros. and the Tailgators are my two old fav party bands.I agree with yer comments about Leady and can only dream of seeing him play live.Yes Jessie Taylor is very good but I have allways enjoyed Joe Elys work with Grissom a little more.He seems to have come along at a time in Joes career when he rocked the hardest and when he left Joe went the mellower ballad route.Lord Of The Highway is a desert isle c.d./l.p. if there ever was one.Do you base yer comment on being moved more by Taylor by the live shows you may have seen?Joe Ely is on a very short list of people I must see soon.Have you ever seen Joe Elys video Live From Gruenn Hall?Good shit.YECH
Hang out in Austin long enough and you'll get to see all these guys.
You of course must be a Keith Ferguson fan, way underated bass player.
Way missed unfortunately.
My feelings about Jessie Taylor have a lot to do with the fact that I
have seen him a lot, like with Butch Hancock, Jimmy Gilmour, the
legendary Supernatural Family Band, and of course Joe Ely. I never have seen Joe Ely at Gruenn Hall, but I did see him in Lukenbach. And
I've not seen that video. What do you think of "Hi-Res"? Regards,J.R.
J.R.,You've seen some great musicans my friend.Yep I'm a big Keith Ferguson/T-Bird fan.Just listened to T-Bird Rhythym this A.M. as a matter of fact.I read he only gave interviews in Spanish.Sad to see him check out too early in life.The music biz seems to be hard on people.Late nights,booze,drugs.Hi Res had a few good songs.The classic Cool Rockin Loretta,What's Shakin Tonight and one of my favorites She Gotta Get The Gettin.But the synths kind of turned me off and the other material was a little weak.Hope he tours somewhere in Michigan soon so I can see him.
YECH
