Oh, "Waiting For You to Blow," I always wanted to write a song about that devil on your shoulder for those of us in recovery. And best of all, John Prine, and especially having lost him, "Just Like That," when I was putting the words to that and picking a key and finger-picking, I just was really holding him in my heart for the story songs that he inspired. But I just really love those early Dylan songs and Jackson Browne's first album. I'm a little bit faster on the piano than I am on guitar. And I have to say I knew they were probably gonna be acoustic guitar songs and not keyboard songs, which I tend to write my more emotional ballads on the piano. The songs that I wrote, two of them, I wrote in early 2019, the lyrics of, but I didn't put the music on until right before the album. Al Anderson I had 30 years ago, Jonah Smith's song I've known I wanted to cut since I heard it in 2009, so there was already three in the pocket there, and then my dear friend, Toots, and I were gonna do "Love So Strong" together, and sadly, he passed away from complications, most likely of COVID. So I knew I had that one and that's since about 2015.
They live up there, and I'm just a fan of Joey's guitar playing and their writing, and it's one of the best new bands I've heard in many, many years. They actually got a JUNO Award for the album in Canada. But I had a few songs that I've known I was gonna record on this record since 2014, when I heard "Made Up Mind" by this band from Winnipeg called Bros. So that informs why I write, 'cause I have something important to say that I'm not hearing coming out of the other song choices. I'm always picking feels and lyrical ideas and grooves that are fresh for me and also just something I haven't covered and that I really want to add to the show.
One example of that would be Al Anderson's "Something's Got a Hold of My Heart." I've had that song for 30 years. It feels like a live rock and roll show and in these trying times, that might be just what you need.Bonnie Raitt: For me, it's a question of going through songs that I've stashed over the years that I'm just waiting to find the perfect place to put them on a record. The concert was recorded in Portland, Maine, not exactly a hotbed of rock and roll, and the band…with additional players Gus Seyffert (bass) and John Wood (keyboards)…is on fire. (There is an expanded 5 disc version, so if you’re feeling generous this Christmas…) I’m listening to the 3-disc vinyl version and it sounds warm and wonderful. The selling point of this Anniversary Edition is the accompanying live concert. They called their buddy, Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and proceeded to write and record what would become El Camino.Īs you’ll hear from the opening track, Lonely Boy, this is a record built on riffs and rhythm and inspired by rock bands such as The Stones, The Cramps and CCR, although it sounds like none of them. 2 in NZ0) going multi-platinum globally.Īccording to the liner notes written by David Fricke, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney were tuckered out from promoting Brothers and retreated to Nashville where Dan set up his Easy Eye Sound studio. It won a bunch of Grammys and (almost) topped the charts (no. This was the duo’s seventh album, following their “breakthrough” record, Brothers.
Tis the season of Anniversary Reissues…we’ve had 50 th Anniversaries from The Beatles, The Doors and The Band…40 th Anniversaries from The Rolling Stones…30 th from Nirvana and here we go back a mere decade to revisit The Black Keys’ El Camino. The Black Keys come up with the perfect solution for any last minute Christmas shopping for that rocker on your list.
