if you haven't already, watch the Sound City documentary Dave Grohl did....absolutely fascinating story about a small recording studio(and soundboard) that put out some of the most iconic music ever

 

Great doc. That place is about a mile from me. Grohl is such a great guy.

This was the last celebrity death that brought me to tears ....

 

I was hired to write a project on the 27 Club last year and had to do a schit ton of research. Amy Winehouse was the only one I didn't know much about and immediately I was completely enamored. What an amazing talent. Crazy person but her voice and songwriting were insane.

 

When she got her first introduction to music people, she was about 15 and one of her friends asked her to record a demo, a duet with him, for some A&R guys. They listened to it and called him up and asked who the old black woman was he did the duet with. Ha. A lot of people have such a distorted viewpoint of her.

You've got that right, brother. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. And man ... that voice. The world lost a good one when she passed.

 

There's some great stuff on the posthumous release, "Lioness: Hidden Treasures." If you haven't checked it out, it's a must.

 

I just hope there's more stuff out there.

I don't know if you ever saw this one but it's terrific. The whole idea of these concerts is awesome.

There's no video. :(

Yeah I saw the doc on some music channel. It's like an hour long. Maybe an hour and a half. Not sure where to find it. It's called Amy Winehouse - One Shining Night.

 

This little church in this tiny town in Ireland once a year convinces some singer to come play there. In the church. It only fits like 50 people. And she decided to accept their offer. It's really cool.

Charles Bradley such a great voice, sadly we lost him today, got to see him perform this summer. Such a charismatic performer.

fun song for the drum students back in the day, no overdubs... later let them know he played hi-hat and snare with his left hand to build ghost beats into these pop songs

The album that inspired Duane Allman to learn the slide guitar (in one day if you can believe that). I was hooked 30 seconds into the first song.

I'm new to this band (they've been around for awhile), but I like them. Not breaking any new ground, but if you like any combination of Black Keys, Ozzy/Sabbath, The Cult, Cinderella,...might be worth checking out
