Dave Osti - In The West (Repost)


















Dave Osti - In The West - 2007

Dave Osti é um guitarrista californiano que vem empolgando seu público há mais de 30 anos com sua 
guitarra de blues e  seu violão folk não somente como músico, mas também como compositor. Em sua carreira, "Dirty" Dave Osti já dividiu o palco com artistas do quilate de Don Henley, Guns and Roses, Crosby Stills & Nash, Philip Sayce, Frank Simes e BB Chung King.

In The West foi foi gravado em 2005, em uma sessão de - se não falha meus neurônios - 3 dias realizada em seu apartamento. Todas as 21 canções (ufa!) são de sua autoria.

Esse álbum nada tem a ver com seus trabalhos mais recentes, embassados em um blues-rock à Steve Ray Vaughan (é!, quase) ou Derek Miller. In The West é Folk. Folk com boas pintadas de blues.

John Entwistle - Rarities Oxhumed - Volume 1

















John Entwistle - Rarities Oxhumed - Volume 1 - 2022

John Entwistle’s deep cuts have been unearthed with the new album, Rarities Oxhumed: Volume One, which features demos, outtakes, and live cuts from his career. It was put together in part by his longtime collaborator and drummer Steve Luongo, who performed in The John Entwistle Band up until The Ox’s untimely death in 2002.

“John and I began touring together in 1987. Every tour was more fun than the last,” Luongo states. “That was the idea. Play loud aggressive rock & roll, have fun, laugh our asses off, travel to the next gig, and repeat. During the 15 years that we worked together as a rhythm section, we remained true to that cause. Along the way, we recorded some records and created a sizable catalog of ideas and material for the future. The future is now.”

Songs on the collection include a live take of “Bogey Man” featuring Entwistle’s The Who bandmate Keith Moon, a demo for The Who called “Where You Going Now,” and a live version of “Trick of the Light” from the Entwistle Band’s final tour in 2001.

01. Bogey Man
02. Darker Side Of Night
03. I’ll Try Again Today
04. When You See the Light
05. Back on the Road
06. Left for Dead (Alternate Version)
07. I Wouldn’t Sleep With You
08. Don’t Be a Sucker
09. Life Goes on (Demo)
10. Where Ya Going Now (Demo)
11. Trick of the Light (Live)
12. Under a Raging Moon (Live)

Jimi Hendrix - Los Angeles Forum (26 april 1969)


Jimi Hendrix - Los Angeles Forum (26 april 1969) - 2022

Following the massive success of The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s 1967-68 studio album trifecta (Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland), the trio (singer/guitarist Jimi Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell, bassist Noel Redding) had developed into the most popular international touring attraction in rock music. This widescale public interest coincided with the construction of new arenas for sporting events, among them the Forum in Inglewood, CA. Designed by famed architect Charles Luckman (who also designed New York’s rebuilt Madison Square Garden), this multi-purpose venue opened in 1967 as the home of the Los Angeles Kings hockey team and Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, but also began to serve as a music venue. Among the earliest concerts held there was Aretha Franklin in January 1968 and the Cream farewell tour with opening act Deep Purple in October of that year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience were booked to perform on April 26, 1969 with opening acts Chicago Transit Authority (soon-to-be renamed Chicago) and Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys, the latter of whom shared management with the headliners. Floor seats cost $6.50 ($51.20 adjusted for inflation).

By the time The Jimi Hendrix Experience took the stage to blaze through a spirited set, live concert sound had drastically improved from the time of The Beatles baseball stadium tours, but crowd control was still a major concern. Between songs, Jimi pled with audience members to stop rushing the stage. A heavy police presence is felt; lyrics for their hit “Purple Haze” are altered (“’Scuse me while I kiss that policeman!”) and Jimi dedicates “Spanish Castle Magic” to “the plain clothes police out there and other goofballs.”

Hendrix treated each performance as a unique event. He never relied on a standard set list comprised only of his biggest commercial hits. This approach was on full display at the Forum performance, blending more familiar tunes such as “Foxey Lady” with “I Don’t Live Today” from Are You Experienced and his signature blues original “Red House”(“Everybody want to know what America’s soul is; everybody think it’s Motown … America’s soul is something more like this here”) which had still not yet been released in the US at this time.

Furthermore, the group opened their set with a cover of “Tax Free” – an obscure 1967 instrumental by Swedish duo Hansson & Karlsson (consisting of Bo Hansson and Janne Karlsson), with whom The Experience had previously shared bills in Stockholm. Another unique highlight featured within the Forum performance was an early reimagining of “Star Spangled Banner,” which Jimi would canonize four months later at Woodstock. “Here’s a song we was all brainwashed with,” Jimi trenchantly declares, at a time when the nation was in a state of great political unrest. The group closed their performance with a unique, extraordinary medley of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” and Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love.” The song was an Experience favorite and a perfect live vehicle for the trio’s unparalleled improvisational skill.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Los Angeles Forum: April 26, 1969 was recorded by Wally Heider and Bill Halverson contemporaneously, and recently remixed by longtime Hendrix producer/engineer Eddie Kramer for maximum audio fidelity. It was produced by Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. and the sister of Jimi Hendrix, Kramer and John McDermott, who manages the Hendrix music catalog on behalf of Experience Hendrix. The package’s liner notes are by former LA Times staff writer/critic Randy Lewis with a preface by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons who attended the Hendrix Forum show, having toured with the Experience, as part of The Moving Sidewalks, his pre-ZZ Top band.

This pristine recording—available in its entirety for the very first time—newly mixed by Hendrix’s longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, captures the original Jimi Hendrix Experience in their unrivaled, peak form and is sourced directly from the original eight-track master tapes.

Brian Cadd - The Magic of Brian Cadd


















Brian Cadd - The Magic of Brian Cadd - 1975

born 29 November 1949, Perth, Australia. As an organist, Cadd came to prominence in bands such as the Groop (1966-69) and Axiom (1969-71), the latter being touted as Australia’s first supergroup. In 1972, after returning from another unsuccessful attempt at the English market, he became a solo artist, following a brief spell as a duo with Don Mudie which resulted in the Australian hit single ‘Show Me The Way’. Cadd gradually built up his following with several piano-based singles and strong albums. Eventually he was secure enough to form his own label, Bootleg, on which he produced and nurtured several other acts. Cadd formed a house band, the Bootleg Band, which he used for recording, performing and touring. Meanwhile, Cadd’s solo albums continued to chart (his first two albums were Australia’s biggest-selling records in 1973), but his strength was his songwriting, which provided hits for various Australian acts. In the 80s he relocated to Los Angeles where he was successful in securing high-profile artists such as the Pointer Sisters and Gene Pitney to record his songs. In 1990 Cadd toured with Max Merrit And The Meteors and in 1991 he joined the line-up of the Flying Burrito Brothers. He sang on the albums Eye Of The Hurricane (1993) and Sons Of The Golden West (1999) and toured extensively with the group. In 1993 he recorded an album with old Axiom bandmate Glenn Shorrock. Cadd, who teaches and lectures in Australia, is also the co-owner of the Streetwise Music Group. In 2005, he released his first studio album in over 20 years.
