This is Asleep at the Wheel, a Texas swing band that has been playing together since about 1974. I used to ride my motorcycle to the Alliance Wagonyard, a bar in Austin, Texas to dance to them! They were the house band at the time, and Man, they could lay down that Texas Swing!!!

Live recording Paul Butterfield, Dr John, Leon Helm, David Sanborn…. What is not to like? Says it is from around 1977.. No guitar..

Awesome stuff, Rex. More than one Grammy for that mob in the bag!! Their original pedal steel player, Lucky Oceans, migrated to Australia. Your loss!! An old friend ended up playing drums in his band here. (in Perth, Western Australia). At least you stil had the band
My brother used to play one of their albums while we were driving to gigs and Deep Water has always stuck in my head. Fantastic band, super tight and don't they make it look so damned easy!

Following on from my Rockwiz post a few days ago, this was on repeat today, and is another powerhouse vocal.

Nice version of a 50+ years old classic

Indeed. Has been a ’contemporary classic’ for a long time now.
Great to see the sisters from Larkin Poe in there, and the instruments from Middle East and Asia.

Yeah, they can really play! They came to Lubbock, Texas about 2 years ago, and my lovely bride and I went up there, (about 75 miles), to see them and do some dancin' ! We met a couple that came down all the way from Canada just to see them. It was a great evening, good tunes, good dancin', and good beer!! LOL!

I don't know much about Lucky Oceans and bands he's been associated with I must admit. But I did see him a couple of years ago in Melbourne with a host of local musos on stage including Paul Kelly, Jeff Lang, Matt Walker, Casey and Bill Chambers, Vika and Linda Bull and a who's who audience. Was a hoot, especially Lucky's pedal steel/Jeff Lang's lap steel combo.

The Saints Know Your Product 1978.

Great late 60's and early 70's European Orchestrated Progressive Rock and Roll - Introducing: Rare Bird:

Beethoven take off (Down on the Floor) intro

As Your Mind Flies By: _ NOT AVALIABLE but here's a FIX:

What a great Rolland's/Wirlister keyboard player.
Pink Floyd, King Crimson or Deep Purple could NOT do any better.

Anyone remember Big Bird by The Flock on 1970 Columbia - Dinosaur Swamps number:

Now that's Country JAZZ with an Ochester.

Here's a kicker Billy Blue the Gunman by Blossom Toes - Enjoy

You do not want to be playing this song when being pulled over unless you have a friendly Girl with BIG Boob's in the car ;o)

King Crimson - Epitaph:

I taught my musician friends to play this score with my Mansfield Les Paul for the last waltz on stage.
Either that or Unchained Melody - My voice wasn't the greatest but Danny Gaudet (Son of Crystal Gayl) was a far better vocalist and guitarist where I was more of a studio musician using a key board and writing scores for the band. Alan Simmons was a grade 13 musician that could play any instrument and Brian Laviolette was truly a gifted Musician and Artist ;o)

Can't say I did not like the Allman Brothers but Dickey Betts on a Les Paul or a Strato was something else "Whipping Post" eg:

The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post | Live at Fillmore East (1970)

The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post | Live at Fillmore East (1970)Experience the raw power and soul of The Allman Brothers Band with this legendary 1970...

Gregg Allman on the keys and Dickey Betts on a Less Paul in Austin Texas doing One Way Out live on stage was a GEM color recording back in the late 70's - Can't find it right now ;o(

Here's a flic with Gregg and Dickey doing it in Germany 1991 - They're both are clearly burnt out:

AMAZING !! The Allman Brothers Band - One Way Out , Germany 1991

Superlative Betts !! Goldie + SLO 100 + JBL D120F = Dynamite

Them were the last days of Rock and Roll Musicians.

Forgive my spelling - Wish I had a Shed or Garage today - Just to service my Jeep Wrangler.

Thank you Youtube ;o)

Getting back European Rock-in Roll - Argent-Liar (1970):

I love Patsy Kline doing Crazy in 1961:

;o)

Or LeAnn Rimes doing Blue in 1990:

She was only 14 years old. She ran into shit when she met Greg Allman!
She survived and still a grand singer.

Finally able to pay tribute to Charlie Watts here in Melbourne

Crawler made a number of excellent albums with Paul Kossoff - the first called Back street Crawler is excellent - it’s the only time I saw Paul Kossoff play
