Is there anybody who knows Little Feat, founded in the late 60s from Lowell George?
The album "Time loves a Heroe" was released in 1979 and might be called the most successful record of Little Feat.
In Martin Scorsese’s film, “Feel Like Going Home,” Corey Harris visits Niafunke, the Sahara Desert hometown of Malian master musician Ali Farka Touré, known around the world as the king of African blues. The encounter between Harris, a young, American blues revivalist, and Touré, a musician with a vast sense of cultural history, is as close as any of the films in Scorsese’s series, The Blues, comes to grappling with the African roots of blues music. But for Harris, that was just the beginning. From the record "from Mississippi to Mali" here is one of the most amazing blues songs, called "Special Rider Blues".
Stephen Stills sometimes only seems to be a member of "Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young". In 1970 he released a record together with Jimi Hendrix: relaxed blues songs that seems to berecorded very occasionally, because the single tunes don´t follow any regular song-structure. Here you´re listening to Mellow Jam.
Taj Mahal is a prominent musician since the 60s. He performed blues, gospel, cajun, bluegrass, carribean and a mixture of them. From his album, "best of" here is the song "cakewalk into town".
From America to England. The "Charlatans", a pop-band that never have been that successful as some of the other brit-pop-bands in the 90s. Nevertheless they relased quite a lot of albums, here you can listen to their "meling pot" single "just looking".
"Frampton comes alive" is one of the most successful albums in the history of Pop and Rock -even if it is a quite boring thing to listen. I never knew whether Peter Frampton is just a smart good looking beach boy (that would have been a teenie-heroe in the 70s,if there had been such a lot of media like today) or really a musician. So I was quite suprised when I listened to his 2006 record "Fingerprints". He published some instrumentals that are quite good - first of all the Soundgarden song "Black Hole Sun".
Bad Company plays "bad company", one of my everlasting rock-songs, that I love since decades. They seems to be on stage again since several years - but maybe only in England?!
Who published the ad that they are looking for a bass-guitarrist, who likes to listen to "Hüsker Dü" and "Peter, Paul and Mary" as well? (What a strange connection!). It has been Frank Black. Black seems to be in the studios every day,because he sometimes publishes two albums per year. One song of him is really an "Ohrwurm", it´s called "headache" and is taken from his second album "Teenager of the year".
One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer
Master of Slam-guitar "George Thorogood" with his Delaware Destroyers are pure rock and blues. From his first album I´d like to upload this killer-application from 1977.
Wikipedia usuallay knows much more than me: "Rebel Rebel" is a song by David Bowie, released in 1974 as a single and on the album Diamond Dogs. Originally written for a mooted Ziggy Stardust musical in late 1973, it was Bowie's last single in the glam rock style that had been his trademark. It was also his first hit since 1969 not to feature lead guitarist Mick Ronson; Bowie himself played guitar on this and almost all other tracks from Diamond Dogs, producing what NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called "a rocking dirty noise that owed as much to Keith Richard as it did to the departed Ronno".
There are missing some angry, political songs as it seems. "Take the Power Back" from RATM "Rage Against the Machine" will fit into this, I hope.
