LowRyter Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks so much. I'm a Ben Harper fan, Sent a buddy that's a blues fanatic a thumbdrive with music on it and he hand't heard of Ben (!!). So it was great to PM him this video. I'll have to get the record. 2
LowRyter Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 The deal on Ben Harper, I'd never heard of the guy. My wife is a retired English teacher and a student gave her a mix CD(20 years ago?) . It's just great. The CD had "Mama's Girl Friend" and "Rodney King". It was all roots/folks. Later I'd seen his rock and blues stuff. I was just talking to my wife today and said that I can categorize his music in two words. She said what is it? I said, "Ben Harper". I need to get his blues and rock stuff. What a great human being and great musician. 2
LowRyter Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Miles' "Kind of Blue" is my favorite jazz record from 1959. In 1970 Miles invented fusion with "Bitches Brew" after seeing Hendrix. Miles added electric bass and electric guitar and lots of rhythm to his music. This spawned Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Mahivishnu, Larry Coryell, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, etc, etc. I recently saw documentaries on Miles and Jeff Beck. So if Miles was trying to be Jimi Hendrix with "Bitches Brew", was Jeff Beck trying to be Mile Davis after hearing "Jack Johnson"? Only two cuts on the full album, A side and B side. I just discovered this after watching the Jeff Beck doc. After hearing it, I think it's perhaps the very best of the fusion genre, at least Mile's "Right Off". 1 1

LowRyter Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I heard this for the first time and it was announced the singer, Frank Bey had passed away
LowRyter Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 All the news about Tulsa today, got me to thinking about Johnny Cale. They don't care about Dallas Texas They don't care about Wichita When you're ever in Oklahoma You better move around the law
