My dad was a DJ in college up in Idaho. He found this band from Washington called Captain Beyond and booked a couple shows. Fast forward 25 years and he stumbled across their album in a record shop that specialized in rarities, imports, etc. He brought it home and I was just blown away by these guys. They had a sound that was kind of a hybrid of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

he recently produced/played on Solomn Burkes country record & I know you are SB fan. It's a great story, SB wasn't so sure about recording at Buddy's house as opposed to a big studio - He was there 8 days - Emmy Lou brought some homemade muffins - Dolly Parton showed up for a song & others showed up...etc SB said he was freaking out all this people coming to Buddy's house to record with him. He wanted to ask for autographs. It all started when SB was asked to perfrorm at the country awrds at the Ryman - He tore the house down and he said abotu Buddy 'I better grab this guy while he's hot' Buddy is ALWAY'S hot - tremendous player & really good guy.
I did not care for the samples a few were Buddy tunes that I like Buddy oding but the band is vert good. the title is Nashville |

He does sing on the latest album, and does his live shows now too, I believe.

Paul Size (Red Devils) - on one particular night in Memphis was one of the best blues guitarist I ever seen.
Donald Kinsey - very well could be the best living electric blues guitar player (IMHO) someone said Little Feat - I think the Lowell George LF era was one of the best RnR bands ever. Robinella Conteras husband, Cruz Contreras. He can play every instrument - You people in & around Tennessee should keep your eyes peeled for Robinella & CC String Band from Maryville, TN - outstanding. |

Curtis Mayfield and Sly Stone often get overlooked.

Just found some Bill Mallonee on You Tube. Yes. I'll put up some of my own video of him, when I figure out how to compress those suckers down a bit.
For now, enjoy these. IMHO, one of the best songwriters out there. Rich, heartbreaking lyric. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTB6r...elated&search=
