(continuing the Hawaian theme... )

Mood: you're always listening to Jack Johnson, do you dig Where've All The Good People Gone, if that's the title? It's groovy! I'm playing it with a covers band for a party, has a great groove to play on the drums.

I do dig! That's one of my favorites. It's groovy, it's funky, I hit replay about 10,000 times.

The Jack Johnson Revolution begins.........

Good People is the sort of song that all the trendies think they're too cool to write, but it's really because they struggle to write something so instantly catchy and (deceptively) simple. You get the feeling it must've been around for a lot longer than it has been.

Love And Only Love... awesome.

Not sure Otis could command that drum beat, it's a bit tricky...

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Tue May 30, 2006 4:01 pm

It's a drummer's dream. It's a lovely groove. On the record it's a bit straight, so of course I funk it up with lots of little grace strokes on the snare, and a bit more dropping out on the bass drum to keep it elastic. It's funny cos we also play The Joker, and it's very similar as a groove.

Love that one, BC. 'Settled Down Like Rain' or whatever it's called is one of my all-time faves.

I could have been a famous singer, if I had someone else's voice...

This kicks so much ass it's scary.

Chrille,

I have that album on vinyl. I love it. Great production and playing from Johnny Winter. Have you heard the other Muddy album that Johnny Winter produced/played on, I'm Ready? It's supposed to be equally as good.

Post by **BlueChair** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 8:47 am

Haven't listened to this in a while

Chrille · Post by **Chrille** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 1:37 pm

Nope, besides his appearance on The Last Waltz, this is the first time I've listened to Muddy Waters. If I get another album it might just be 'I'm Ready'

Post by **BlueChair** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 1:58 pm

If that's your first taste of Muddy Waters, I recommend grabbing some of his classic Chess stuff from the late 40s and early 50s next.

This one's a good, reasonably priced compilation of his Chess singles:

The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl. That I downloaded from here: http://hesawhore.blogspot.com/ It's not available on CD apparently.

Otis - if you can play the drums like Ringo on Ticket To Ride I'd be most impressed, some of my favourite drumming ever.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:36 pm

Easy, you just have to hang back on the beat more than you're meant to, clutter on the toms a bit, and you're there! People diss him technically, but I too rate the man.
