David Olney - Thats Why She,s With Me/You Are Here

                                  
David Charles Olney  was an American folk singer-songwriter.Olney recorded more than 20 albums during his nearly five decades as a musician. His songs have been covered by numerous artists, including Emmylou Harris, Del McCoury, Linda Ronstadt and Steve Earle.

   I had the pleasure of attending some of David's performances. Impressive and, moreover, a very nice person. His sudden death was a shock. His music is well represented in my collection, and lives on here,forever... 

 
Olney died of an apparent heart attack during a performance onstage at the 30A Songwriter Festival in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, on January 18, 2020, at age 71. He was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized and shut his eyes, according to fellow musician Scott Miller who was accompanying Olney. "David was playing a song when he paused, said 'I'm sorry' and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell off his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was," Miller said


                                  

TT Band plays Neil Young - Alabama.

                                Alabama (album Harvest)

Neil Young said that "Alabama" was never meant to be specific to the state, he simply wanted a Southern state that seemed to fit what he had to say. "Actually, the song is more about a personal thing than it is about a state," he explained. "And I'm just using that name and that state to hide whatever it is I have to hide... I don't know what that means."

Mick Taylor plays Jimi Hendrix - Red House

Jimi Hendrix and Mick Taylor backstage at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York November 27, 1969.

Mick about Jimi : “I was really into him at the time. In fact, we used to play with him a lot. We played with Jimi Hendrix and Albert King at the old FIllmore West in San Francisco...he just completely blew my mind...the way he switched from rhythm to lead, and his guitar and his voice were almost like the same thing. “ (Guitar Player, 2/80)

and
“Awesome guitarist, and an absolutely fantastic blues player. I don’t think a lot of people appreciate that because he didn’t do too many straight blues in his short recording career, which, if you think about it, spanned only four, maybe five years. But listen to Jimi doing “Catfish Blues” and you can hear the raw influence of Muddy Waters and Albert King. "(The Guitar Magazine)

Red House - Cambridge 10-27 -1989

“In John Mayall’s band I was lucky enough to do some shows on the same bill as Hendrix at the Fillmore West - Albert King was playing as well. Seeing Albert King for the first time was unbelievable - someone who had developed completely his own style, left-handed with the guitar strung upside-down. I can remember me and Jimi Hendrix standing together listening to Albert playing. Both of us were in awe of him.

“Jimi was very humble about his own talent but also completely obsessed about playing guitar. I did a show once with him in Zurich and we all got there early. It was quite a show - Traffic were on as well as the Experience, plus some other big acts from that period - and as soon as Jimi got to this small stadium he went backstage and plugged into an amp. He was playing literally for hours before he went on t o do this most amazing show and all the other musicians were watching him with their mouths wide open. It wasn’t just that his technique was like nothing else around at the time; his feel and that timing were awesome too. Completely unique...

Neil Young - Powderfinger (Rust Never Sleeps)

                      

                                                    
Rust Never Sleeps is a live album by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young and American band Crazy Horse. It was released on June 22, 1979, by Reprise Records. Most of the album was recorded live, then overdubbed in the studio. Young used the phrase "rust never sleeps" as a concept for his tour with Crazy Horse to avoid artistic complacency and try more progressive, theatrical approaches to performing live.
                     

                                        https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8gbK8uoqKhlACSeenUPkFQ

 "Powderfinger" is the first song of the second, electric, side of Rust Never Sleeps. Allmusic critic Jason Ankeny describes the song, following the album's mellower, acoustic first side, as "a sudden, almost blindsiding metamorphosis, which is entirely the point — it's the shot you never saw coming."

The Healing Game is the twenty-sixth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in 1997 by Polydor.

 The title song "The Healing Game" is about the tradition of Belfast street singing. Van Morrison in Q magazine said, "People find it incredible when I tell them that people used to sing and play music in the street. I think there's a whole oral tradition that's disappeared."

 Stories We Could Tell is a country rock album by The Everly Brothers, released in 1972. It was reissued as Stories We Could Tell:The RCA Years by BMG in 2003 and included additional tracks, all stemming from the successor album Pass the Chicken & Listen.

                                       Del Rio Dan (feat.Ry Cooder)

How did this magnificent masterpiece get lost in the musical shuffle of the seventies...must have been no radio support which has been a typical situation with many greats still in their prime yet no airplay exposure a great work like this goes unnoticed except by the true musical connoisseurs who will dig deep for a musical treasure such as this! 

Van Morrison - Snow in San Aselmo

Hard Nose the Highway is the seventh studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). The album contains the single "Warm Love," a fan favourite.^[1]
It is his second solo album to contain songs not written by Morrison. A cover version of the song "Bein' Green", usually associated with Kermit the Frog, is included, as is a take of the traditional song "Purple Heather".

Big Hand For The Band! Mario Cipolinna-Bass,John Colla-AltoSax,John Farey-Keyboards,Brian Hogan-TenorSax,Bill Gibson-Drums,Dennis Langevin-Guitar

De prachtige en zeer verrassende opener van het een in mijn ogen beetje ondergewaardeerd Van Morrison album ,,Hard Nose The Highway,,.Van vertelde over deze song, "Just a sketch on when it snowed in San Anselmo. It's about the images that were happening when it was snowing there for the first time in thirty years."

Live is het nummer slecht 13 keer uitgevoerd ,voor het eerst op 11 Maart 1973 in het Memorial Auditorium,Marin California ,de laatste keer op 26 Januari 2002 in de Butterworth Hall in Coventry.(info Gunther Becker,zie link)
Het is ,zeker deze tijd van het jaar ,een van mijn favoriete Van Morrison nummers.

(Van Morrison)
Snow in San Anselmo
The deer cross by the lights
The mission down in old San Rafael
A madman looking for a fight
A madman looking for a fight

The massage parlor's open
The clientele come and they go
The classic music station
Plays in the background soft and low
Plays in the background soft and low

The silence round the cascades
The ice crisp and clear
The beginning of the opera
Seem to suddenly appear
Seem to suddenly appear

The pancake house is always crowded
Open 24 hours of every day
And if you suffer from insomnia
You can speed your time away
You can speed your time away

Snow in San Anselmo
My waitress my waitress my waitress
Said it was coming down
Said it hadn't happened in over 30 years
But it was laying on the ground
But it was laying on the ground

Townes van Zandt - Club K4 Ljubljana Slovenie 18-11 1994

Je ben een wat sombere ,soms zelfs manisch/depressieve, singer/songwriter .En je ziet de club waar je die avond moet moet optreden(zie boven)tja,daar word je ook niet echt vrolijk van.Gelukkig voor Townes waren er zelf in Slovenie liefhebbers van zijn prachtige songs en werd het nog een mooie avond....


Dollar Bill Blues

Tekst: Maurice Dielemans
Publicatiedatum: 01 januari 2004 ( KindaMuzik)
Die laatste keer dat Townes Van Zandt in Nederland speelde, was een regenachtige novemberavond in 1996. Diep verscholen in zijn versleten regenjas slenterde de getormenteerde zanger langs de grachten van de Utrechtse binnenstad. De lange schaduwen van zijn magere gestalte jaagden argeloze voorbijgangers de stuipen op het lijf. Een paar weken daarna, nadat hij zijn laatste optreden gaf in Londen, overleed deze zonderlinge verschijning op tweeënvijftigjarige leeftijd in het bijzijn van vrienden en familie, wat gezien zijn turbulente leven ironisch mag heten.


Goin,Down to Memphis

Net als zijn grootste idool, Hank Williams (1923-1953), stierf hij op een Nieuwjaarsdag. Al in 1978, nadat hij de langspeler Flying Shoes had uitgebracht, was hij al eens zomaar van de aardbodem verdwenen. De manisch-depressieve en toen nog door het grote publiek onbeminde troubadour uit Texas leek voorgoed uitgeput. Ditmaal zorgde de ongezonde levensstijl met teveel drank, drugs en een gokverslaving ervoor dat Townes zich als een kluizenaar terugtrok in een krot ergens in een armoedige buitenwijk van Nashville.


Loretta

Toen hij een dikke tien jaar later terugkeerde met het album At My Window was zijn eerste vrouw gedood door zwervers en waren zijn oudere elpees nog steeds onvindbaar. Tijdens één van de vele optredens stapte Townes Van Zandt wel eens op een fan af, om te vragen of hij misschien wist waar zijn elpees nog te koop waren.


Katie Belle Blues

Veel later, in de jaren negentig, zwierf hij steeds vaker als een echte straatmuzikant door Europa en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Soms landde hij op Schiphol met enkel een gitaarkoffer in zijn hand. Dan stapte hij zomaar in een trein. In één of ander boerengehucht in noorden van het land speelde hij dan voor twintig of dertig mensen. Drie uur later was hij alweer verdwenen, op weg naar een ander gehucht.

Townes Van Zandt (7 maart 1944, Fort Worth, Texas - 1 januari 1997, Smyrna, Tennessee)

In die laatste dagen van zijn leven was de gezondheid van Townes niet zo goed meer. Hoewel hij voor onvergetelijke en hypnotiserende optredens zorgde, stond hij ook vaak met bevende handen op het podium. Tussen de liedjes door vertelde hij steeds weer dezelfde flauwe grappen, zoals hij dat pakweg vijftien jaar geleden ook al deed. De jarenlange verslaving aan de godendrank eiste nu zijn tol. Het resulteerde regelmatig in onhandelbaar gedrag. J.T. Van Zandt, die regelmatig met zijn vader op tournee ging, vertelde in een interview dat Townes vlak voor zijn dood visioenen kreeg van engelen. Op het laatst waren die hallucinaties nog het enige dat hem staande hield op het podium.Je kunt het hitdossier er op na slaan, want terwijl mede-outlaws als Willie Nelson en Merle Haggard vette hits scoorden met zijn 'Pancho and Lefty', Emmylou Harris en Don Williams allebei veel succes hadden met zijn 'If I Needed You' en onder andere Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, Mudhoney, Lyle Lovett en Tindersticks eveneens zijn liedjes coverden, opereerde Townes Van Zandt vrijwel zijn gehele leven in volledige anonimiteit en obscuriteit. Nu wordt Townes Van Zandt door velen vooral gemist.(Tekst Maurice Dieleman KindaMuzik)
