Duane Eddy, rock guitar pioneer, dies at 86

Duane Eddy, a pioneer of rock guitar famous for his twanging sound, and iconic, era-defining instrumentals like “Rebel Rouser,” has died at 86, the Arizona Republic reports. Eddy passed away at his home in Franklin, Tennessee, surrounded by family members. 

Hugely influential to generations of rock guitar players, Eddy helped define an era, and establish the electric guitar as an instrument with a voice all its own.  

Born in Corning, New York in 1938, Eddy took up the guitar at a young age. Shortly after his family’s move to Arizona in 1951, Eddy met a popular local DJ who would play a critical role in his career, Lee Hazlewood. 

In high school, Eddy formed a country duo, Jimmy & Duane, with a classmate. Chet Atkins was a particular influence on Eddy, which led to the latter purchasing Atkins’ Gretsch signature model at the age of 19. Eddy would be synonymous with the company for the rest of his life. 

Aided by Audio Recorders studio’s makeshift echo chamber (a 2,000-gallon water tank stationed in the studio’s parking lot) and an unforgettable sax solo by Gil Bernal, “Rebel Rouser” fit the times like a glove. 

Released the same year as Link Wray’s similarly influential instrumental, Rumble, “Rebel Rouser” lived up to its name – capturing the nascent rock genre’s rebellious attitude, and showing that the electric guitar was more capable of speaking for itself, melodically. 

Over the next five years, Eddy had an astounding run of commercial success, with 16 top 40 hits. By the mid-1960s, though, the guitarist’s commercial success had waned in the face of the post-Beatles explosion, which itself was fueled by many guitarists Eddy had influenced.  

In 1987, the guitarist released a self-titled LP that featured – to name just a few guests – John Fogerty, Steve Cropper, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ry Cooder.

The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach enlisted Eddy to play on his 2017 solo album, Waiting on a Song, describing his contributions as “magic.”

Jaimoe Takes Part in Rare Public Concert Appearance, Revisits Allman Brothers Band Classics.

On Saturday, April 27, Jaimoe, founding member of the Allman Brothers Band and the last remaining constituent of the original lineup made a rare, one-off concert appearance alongside Friends of the Brothers at SHU Community Theatre in Fairfield, Conn.

During the single-set performance, Jaimoe revisited Allman Brothers Band classics alongside the tribute project, which cut into classics from across the Peach State band’s beloved discography. 

Comprised of artists with deep Allman ties, the Friends of the Brothers’ lineup features Junior Mack, a known Jaimoe collaborator, and frontman in Jasssz Band for 15 years.

Also on the night’s roster was a former touring member of Dickey Betts and Great Southern for a decade, Andy Aledort, and Alan Paul, ABB biographer and author of One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. 

Stepping back in time, Jaimoe and company commenced their concert with the lead single off ABB’s second studio LP, “Idlewild South” (1970), tapping into “Revival” before abandoning the love-tinged reminder in lieu of the Piedmont blues.

Moving through the band’s discography, the group arrived at “Eat a Peach” (1972), reprising the Gregg Allman-penned “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More,” followed by “Blue Sky.”

Reaching the midway point in the frame, Friends of the Brothers returned to “Idlewild South” with “Midnight Rider” and the band’s ensuing take on fellow LP originator, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”

The aforementioned song represented Jaimoe’s final sit-in for the main set, leaving the other members of Friends of the Brothers to take on “Don’t Keep Me Wondering” and Betts’ best-known contribution to ABB, “Ramblin Man,” which further served as a homage. 

Jaimoe reappeared for the night’s encore, contributing to the instrumental, “Jessica,” which took the final song slot, before bows and crowd acknowledgments.

@davidgilmour Putting Together 1st Tour Since 2016

The @pinkfloyd guitarist, who last hit the road eight years ago, is planning a tour in support of his forthcoming album, “Luck and Strange.”

The Pink Floyd guitarist has confirmed he will hit the road both in an interview with Uncut and a note on his UK webstore proclaiming those who pre-order the album will “get early access to future UK live dates.”

While Uncut hasn’t posted the chat with Gilmour online, fansite Neptune Pink Floyd shared highlights. One portion indicates David Gilmour’s first tour in eight years is still in the formative stages of planning.

For the upcoming tour, rehearsals need to be scheduled and a setlist needs to be put together. The latter, says Gilmour involves an asterisk system in which all contenders are written down. Three asterisks denotes certain inclusion, while two is ‘likely’ and one indicates an outside possibility. The new album constitutes a clean sweep of triple asterisks, “but that’s about as far as I’ve got.”

Those looking to see Gilmour perform numbers from such iconic Floyd albums as “Dark Side Of The Moon” and “The Wall” won’t be in luck.

The guitarist indicated “an unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the ’70s.” As for Pink Floyd material from the ’60s, ’80s and ’90s? “Yeah, they might be better represented. I mean, at least one from the 60s. The one we’ve done in the past is ‘Astronomy’ [The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, 1967].

That’s always entertaining and fun and gets people off to a happy start. There’s songs from the “Momentary Lapse Of Reason” and “The Division Bell” albums. I mean, I think ‘High Hopes’ is as good as anything we ever did at any time.”

Be sure to join Sacramento’s K-ZAP every Tuesday night at 8pm for Floydian Slip. A full hour of rarities, favorites, and all things Pink Floyd with host, Craig Bailey.

Craig works classic Floyd songs, deep album cuts, and Floyd’s unique brand of ambient segues into a seamless blend of music and sound best described as a “listening experience.”

55 Years Later: Joe Walsh Led James Gang Debuts With ‘Yer Album’

The deceptively wacky guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Walsh garnered much peer respect during the James Gang’s heyday. The alumnus of Kent State University possessed a preternatural affinity for switching from rhythm guitar to lead and back again.

Rendered with as much taste as power by Walsh, drummer Jim Fox, and bassist/vocalist Tom Kriss (who would subsequently be replaced by Dale Peters), Buffalo Springfield’s “Bluebird,” and the Yardbirds’ “Lost Woman” are logical choices, while “Stop” would seem to be far removed from the threesome’s roots. 

The James Gang expands its instrumental palette almost immediately after the album begins with “Take A Look Around” prominently featuring more piano and especially additional organ in the arrangement, the structure of which nonetheless allows for the spacious, atmospheric interlude spotlighting Walsh’s guitar solo.

The James Gang stylistic musical unity (like the clearest images in the B&W drawing inside and the photo collage on the back cover) appears in flashes, perhaps most cogently in the hard-rock riffing of  “I Don’t Have The Time” and “Fred.” 

The expanded take of “Stop,” sounds like nothing so much like an excerpt from a much longer, but generally cogent group improvisation: in that aforementioned set of liner notes, Joe Walsh does describe their novice recording approach as basically doing what they’d do live.

All three instrumentalists add to the mix; even if he is most often the loudest (with bassist Kriss a close second), it is not just Walsh’s show by any means. 

To that end, the acoustic guitar intro and eerie string-laden body of “Collage” is another case in point. It’s an ambitious group effort rendered successful through close, mutually empathetic collaboration.

Although nothing concrete has arisen there’s little reason not to believe that when his current employers do retire at the end of the now ongoing ‘Long Goodbye’ tour, Joe Walsh will return to his early love of, in his words, ‘cookin’ with the James Gang.’

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Sacramento, there was a radio station named K-ZAP. They were known for their love of music, and their passion for spreading joy and good tunes far and wide. They decided to embark on an epic journey called the K-ZAP Emporium Of Swag Tour 2024. But they couldn`t just call it a "merch booth." No, that would be too ordinary, too mundane for such an extraordinary adventure.

So, one day, the station crew gathered around a table filled with various snacks and beverages (mostly caffeinated). They were brainstorming ideas for a name that would capture the essence of their tour. They wanted something that would be memorable, fun, and a little bit quirky.

Suddenly, a voice from the back of the room spoke up. It was Tubby, the wise old Cheshire cat, with his big, round eyes and a voice that was both soothing and authoritative. Tubby said, "Why not call it the Emporium Of Swag?"

The room fell silent, as everyone pondered the name. It had a certain ring to it, a certain charm that captured the spirit of their tour. It was fun, it was catchy, and it was just the right amount of ridiculous.

After a few moments, a cheer erupted from the group. The K-ZAP Emporium Of Swag Tour 2024 had its name. And thus, the journey began, with Tubby the wise Cheshire cat leading the way, spreading music, joy, and swag across the land.

From the Nanker Phelge Catalog: The Story Behind “Play with Fire” by @therollingstones

When @mickjagger and @officialkeef began trying their hand at songwriting if they deemed a composition to have been written by the full band, they would credit the song to a pseudonym rather than list each band member’s name.

Nanker Phelge was the fictitious name representing Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, and manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham. In the early days, it also included keyboardist Ian Stewart.

The origin of the name came from an Edith Grove flatmate of the band named Jimmy Phelge. He wasn’t a songwriter; they just chose his surname. Nanker came from the combination of the words nob and wanker.

Some of the songs credited to the fabricated title include “The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man,” “The Spider and the Fly,” “Off the Hook,” “2120 South Michigan Avenue,” and “Stoned.”

“Play with Fire” is another one of those songs.

In 2010, Richards wrote in his memoir, Life, “After we finished ‘The Last Time,’ the only Stones left standing were me and Mick. [Producer] Phil Spector was there—Andrew had asked him to come down and listen to the track—and so was [arranger] Jack Nitzsche.

Spector picked up Bill Wyman’s bass, Nitzsche went to the harpsichord, and the B-side, ‘Play with Fire,’ was cut with half the Rolling Stones and this unique lineup.”

After performing the song regularly during 1965 and 1966, the Stones retired it until their 1989 “Steel Wheels” Tour. “Play with Fire” was not played live by the band again for almost another 30 years.

Guitarist Ron Wood urged his bandmates to revive the song, but this didn’t happen until the 2018 tour. Jagger was fond of the song. In 1995, he told Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone, “‘Play with Fire’ sounds amazing—when I heard it last. I mean, it’s a very in-your-face kind of sound and very clearly done. You can hear all the vocal stuff on it. And I’m playing the tambourines, the vocal line. You know, it’s very pretty. … I mean, it just came out.

The time @scorpions upstaged @vanhalen with the help of the US Air Force

There’s nothing like the feeling of upstaging Van Halen in their heyday, even more so if you’ve got the US Air Force on your side.

In a new interview, Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker looks back on the time the band managed to steal the show from right under the noses of the reigning godfathers of rock.

The moment took place during the Heavy Metal Day at the US Festival of 1983, which featured Van Halen as headliners and Scorpions second on the bill.

Organised by promoter Bill Graham and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the festival included the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest and a relatively-unknown Mötley Crüe.

According to Schenker, the members weren’t allowed to use their full stage set – as demanded by David Lee Roth and co, beyond a bit of pyro for the show’s opening.

The restriction had Scorpions’ tour manager at the time, Bob Adcock, putting a call in to a nearby US Air Force base requesting some fighter jet reinforcements over the festival site at the exact moment the band began their set.

“Sure,” they replied. ‘Why the hell not?’”

“The planes were outstanding,” Schenker tells Classic Rock. “Five fighter jets flying above the stage and over the mountains just as we started. You could not do that today.”

“Van Halen heard about it and weren’t happy.”

Band shenanigans aside, the US Festival appearance also marked a turning point in Scorpion’s career.

“Love At First Sting,” the album they released the following year would go on to produce some of the band’s biggest hits, propelling them to international rockstardom.

“We always wanted to make a better album each time,” Schenker says. “We pushed ourselves: ‘Let’s do it better, let’s do it better.’ With “Love At First Sting” we did it.”

@robertplantofficial Rumored To Be Working on New Project Featuring Reimagined Versions of @ledzeppelin Songs.

Singer and writer Antonella Gambotto-Burke told LedZepNews that Plant recently spent a day at the Magic Garden Recording Studio in Wolverhampton, U.K., and during that time he worked on a new rendition of a Led Zeppelin song.

“While the project is currently top secret, it involves a Led Zeppelin song,” Gambotto-Burke told the website. “Spending time with Robert has been such a privilege.”

She also noted, “The thing that surprised me most was the intense magic he brings with him. It literally fills the room. Spiritually speaking, he’s a giant, and the music is, of course, untouchable. I’m still flying!”

Plant’s 2024 Tour Dates

Plant has a variety of upcoming 2024 tour dates on his schedule. He will be finishing up a spring U.K. tour with his folk project Saving Grace over the next several days. Plant then will launch a U.S. headlining tour with acclaimed folk/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss that’s mapped out from June 6 to June 19.

Why @stephenstillsofficial’ Manassas’ Remains an Unjustly Hidden Treasure

The self-titled debut album from Stephen Stills’ short-lived band Manassas, an all-too hidden treasure trove of classic-rock greatness, was released in April 1972.

Split into four individually titled and thematically distinct sides, this wide-ranging double-album set found the former Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash star Stills at the height of his powers.

He also assembled quite a team for the project, including Chris Hillman of the Byrds, steel guitarist Al Perkins, keyboardist Paul Harris, the late percussionist Joe Lala and two members of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s backing band – deceased drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Calvin “Fuzzy” Samuels.

This expansive group, many of whom performed on Stills’ 1971 solo album, explored rock, blues, folk and country along with a generous undercurrent of Latin rhythms through the album’s 21 tracks.

Even with all the talent involved, Manassas remains primarily a showcase for Stills’ impressive songwriting, guitar playing and singing talents. Highlights include, well, pretty much everything, including the album’s opening-side suite of largely interconnected songs (“The Raven”), the absolutely gorgeous folk-rock of “Johnny’s Garden” and “How Far,” the epic “The Treasure” and the floating, dreamy “Both of Us (Bound to Lose).”

Chris Hillman was especially singled out for praise, saying his “importance in the success of Manassas and in the comeback of Stills can’t be over-stressed. ... He’s a masterful musician whether he’s playing bass, guitar, or mandolin – and his boyishly pure, uncolored voice can carry a lot of emotional weight.”

Manassas returned with a second album, “Down the Road,” in 1973. But it lacked the magic of this predecessor and the group soon split up as Stills rejoined CSNY for a massive, but ill-fated 1974 tour.

A collection of unreleased demos and songs from Manassas called Pieces was released in 2009.

On this day April 28, 1975 rock and roll radio disc jockey Tom “Big Daddy” Donahue passes away of a heart attack at 46 years of age.

In 1964, while a disc jockey at San Francisco Top Forty station formed Autumn Records record label which employed Sly Stone as a staff producer.

Autumn’s biggest act was one that Donahue discovered, produced, recorded, and managed, The Beau Brummels.

He also opened a psychedelic nightclub, Mothers, on Broadway in San Francisco, and produced concerts at the Cow Palace, the Oakland Auditorium and Candlestick Park with his partner Bobby Tripp.

Together, they produced the last public appearance of The Beatles on August 29, 1966 at Candlestick Park.

In 1967 Donahue wrote a 1967 Rolling Stone article titled “AM Radio Is Dead and Its Rotting Corpse Is Stinking Up the Airwaves,”which also lambasted the Top Forty format.

He subsequently took over programming for a foreign-language station KMPX and changed it into what is considered to be America’s first alternative “free-form” radio station.

The station played album tracks chosen by the DJs on the largely ignored FM band. This one move introduced progressive radio to the U.S., and led to his becoming one of the most influential programmers of this new format. Some media critics even credited him with inventing the FM progressive, or “underground” format.

Donahue, and his DJ wife Raechel also took over programming of free-form radio stations KMET and KPPC-FM in Los Angeles. In 1972, he moved to the role of general manager at KSAN, where he encouraged DJs to play music from different eras and genres interspersed with interesting commentary.

Donahue was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of the first class of broadcasters enshrined.

As a non-performer Donahue is one of only three disc jockeys to receive that honor.

In 2014 Donahue was inducted into the Rock Radio Hall of Fame in the “Legends of Rock Radio-Programming” category in 2014 for his work at KSAN and KMPX.

Remembering @davemasonmusic’s ‘Alone Together’

Over the years there have been many records that have been given the tag, “lost classic” or “forgotten masterpiece,” and perhaps many of them are. But Dave Mason’s “Alone Together” released in June 1970 is the real deal.

Dave had left Traffic and gone to the West Coast. Mason’s reputation was such that he attracted some of the best musicians around including some from Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishman band.

There’s Leon Russell, drummer, Jim Keltner, guitarist, Don Preston and singers Claudia Linnear and Rita Coolidge. Drummer, Jim Gordon and bass player Carl Radle, were also in the Cocker band and they, soon after recording “Alone Together,” become the Derek and the Dominos’ rhythm section; Larry Knechtel who played the piano on “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” also plays bass on Mason’s album.

The album opens with ‘Only you Know and I Know,’ which could so easily have been a track from Mad Dogs – it has all the trademarks. ‘Can’t Stop Worrying, Can’t Stop Loving’ is the musical polar opposite from the groove of the opener. It is a delicate ballad that features Dave’s plaintive vocals; so often over-shadowed in Traffic by Stevie Winwood.
‘Waitin’ On You’ is back in the groove with some funky electric piano from Leon Russell.

The album’s closer is arguably its best track, ‘Look at You Look at Me,’ a song Mason cowrote with Traffic’s drummer, Jim Capaldi, who also plays on it with his trademark tight sound. This is one of those songs that you can play to people and they will instantly ‘get it’. It’s quintessential 1970s rock…and that’s no bad thing.

As a little footnote, when the original LP came out it was a masterful piece of packaging, designed and photographed by Barry Feinstein and Tom Wilkes. Housed in a triple gatefold sleeve, a die cut triple fold-out picture jacket, with Dave’s head and top hat popping up when you opened the record.

A number were pressed with marbled vinyl. It was impossible to see the grooves and it made it appear that the needle was floating above the record.

How Have @therollingstones’ Set Lists Changed Over 60 Years?

The Rolling Stones will kick off their ’24 Hackney Diamonds tour on Sunday at Houston’s NRG Stadium, extending their reign as classic rock’s biggest touring juggernaut.

In their 60-plus-year career, the Stones have played more than 2,100 concerts and remained one of the most coveted live acts in the business. They’ve sold hundreds of millions of records and racked up dozens of hits over the past six decades.

The Rolling Stones first visited Space City on July 11, 1966, playing the Sam Houston Coliseum in the midst of their U.S. tour in support of that year’s “Aftermath.”

The average set list on that tour consisted of only 12 songs. Keen to show off their newfound songwriting ambitions, they pulled heavily from “Aftermath,” showcasing the likes of “Lady Jane,” “Mother’s Little Helper,” “Paint It Black” and “Under My Thumb.”

Flash forward to the band’s 2022 Sixty tour, and they were pulling heavily from their late-‘60s to early-‘70s imperial phase, giving plenty of love to “Exile on Main St.,” “Let It Bleed” and “Beggars Banquet.”

The Stones also made room for mid-‘70s and ‘80s hits such as “Miss You” and “Start Me Up.”
