I got to see not only both of them, but Jeff Healey on a triple bill Guitar Heaven, I’d like to imagine the three of them along with Zappa/Hendrix/Bolin/Winter/Buchanan/Allman/Johnson(Robert)/ Johnson(Wilko)/Holly etc are all tearing it up.

What a brilliant album that is. Just an unbelievable group of virtuosos rippin’ a strip off of jazz!

Funny, even though this was released on Sam Cooke’s SAR label, there’s very little about it that says soul, but holy crap does it ever shout R&B! You better turn yo damper down, baby!

Like hearing in the 1st quarter of a Milwaukee Bucks game, in Milwaukee, that Buddy Guy was playing in the Foyer, after the game…
That was the end of the Ball Game and I had a table stage-side when buddy came on.

Recorded live as hell at the Carousel Ballroom, April fucking 24, 1968!
This is a release of the Owsley Stanley Foundation. This, along with all of OSF’s releases, is fucking excellent! I encourage you to support them!

There’s a nice Buddy Rich solo that begins about 3:30, and there’s a great sight gag right before that. I like Jerry Lewis. I’m simple that way.
I’m not a drummer, but I suspect one of the nice things about this clip for drummers is you can see both of Buddy’s feet for most of the solo as well as his hands. And Buddy kicks some ass!

Way back in the day, still in high school, two friends and I went to the Royal Peacock supper club to see the bands white people didn’t get much chance to see in person. We got in because one of our group was the son of disk jockey and owner of WAOK, the only black station in Atlanta. We were amazed at the professionalism and natural talent that played there. In Europe with a band playing mostly Army clubs, we backed up the Drifters (or one of the groups having access to the name.) These guys were pro but fun. We were 2 guitars, bass and drum, but the leader had us get the whole show down in an hour or so and it worked. Again, amazed at the way they could make complicated simple and perfect. Old soul music is really good music.

Eddie Holland wasn’t just a great songwriter, he was a damn fine vocalist in his own right. This was a national hit for him. He sounds a lot like Mr. Excitement, Jackie Wilson, on this one. The Supremes are the background singers. Penned by Barrett Strong and Mickey Stevenson.
