18 Legendary Things Leon Russell Did

Image
Leonard Cohen, Bap Kennedy, Bob Cranshaw, Kay Starr, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Biser Kirov, Victor Bailey, Eddie Harsch and now Leon Russell. Those are notable musicians who have died this November so far. That’s quite a few, and I would love to write a piece on each of them following each of their sad passings. But if I did, this blog would just become a musician’s obituary page.  However Leon Russell is different.  I mean… who else could pull of this look? Leon Russell is possibly the most notable sideman of rock history. He played with The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and many more, including artists outside of Rock, like Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, BB King and many others. Rather than doing a standard obituary piece on one of the greatest pianists in rock history, I decided that perhaps a better thing to do would be to simply make a list of accomplishments.  18 things Leon Russell can present to the after...

Worst to Best Episodes of Fishing With John

 Recently, I've been working my way through John Lurie's Fishing With John . The best way to describe it is that it's kind of lamely cool. You get to experience these fascinating personalities at the most real you'll get them. Have you ever wondered if Tom Waits is a seasoned fisherman? Well, you won't after watching this.

Every now and then, when I have an hour or so free and don't want to watch something too meaty, no Pasolini for me in those shallow hours.  As I've been watching it in this way I've been reflecting on the episodes and what ones I think are the best.

Image
It's impossible to count the amount of incredible musical giants who were playing in the London R&B scene in the early 1960s. There were The Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds and so many more. However history tends to forget some of the bands who participated in the scene, on such band are The Downliner Sect, who were possibly better known for their drunken antics off stage then their Blues Rock on stage. So who are The Downliners Sect? To help me I enlisted the help of their front man Don Craine. The band is probably best known for having two songs of the Nuggets II compilation; Glendora & Why Don't You Smile Now Music-Drop Magazine: Who were your earliest musical influences? Don Craine: Major influences were Lonnie Donegan, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley and Eddie Cochran. Where did you first hear the Blues? DC: My first taste of the Blues was watching a Saturday night T.V. sho...
