Members Stackabones 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Brother Willie Eason, from the Sacred Steel Tradition -- looking for more solo stuff from that trad. Most of it is with a band. Little Wooden Church On The Hill Is that an old Gibson amp or an Epiphone Electar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members Stackabones 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 I know somebody who just wrote a new one. Perhaps he'll post it. EG EG told me about something his son said, and I put it into a short song. His Autograph Not played on a sanctified electric guitar, but perhaps it could be a sanctified acoustic archtop?

On my short list of amps to buy (I'd like to get a Magnatone 280 as well). Django played one when he came to the US: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members Stackabones 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Bishop Dreadly Manning Short blues (Things That I Used To Do) at the beginning, but sanctified electric guitar starts at around 1:52, and there is a bit of voice over but the music plays without the voice over till the end.

Members Stackabones 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 scuzzo -- Yeah, Randolph is straight out of the Sacred Steel tradition down in Florida. There is some pretty intense lap & steel playing down in those House of God churches. I'd forgotten all about People Get Ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Alecto 3 Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Oh, yeah! Me likey! And may I humbly submit ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPQ1fZUAoBA Good stuff, nice slide chops. I'd recommend shifting it 3/4 time, because that's the original tune's rhythm. Maybe try a 12/8 to keep that triplet feel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Alecto 3 Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yeah, Jeff Beck on "People Get Ready" is awesome but I prefer it performed by the song's author, Curtis Mayfield. This is a gorgeous performance a few months before Curtis was hit by a falling lighting rig, paralyzing him from the neck down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqTxK7VhSkThe tune's actually a (thinly veiled) civil rights anthem; Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions did very well writing these coded anthems that white people thought were just simple R&B/gospel tunes. Unfortunately, he got busted with 1967's "We're a Winner," which white radio programmers thought was a little too obvious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Northstar 7 Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for reminding me about him. Goes on and off my radar. Love his sound and resolve. Never thought of Big Boss Man as a sanctified song, but ya know it could just work. Ha ha! That "sanctified" stuff just flew over my head. I just posted something that was related stylistically.

Yeah, my hymnal has it in 3/4, but I wanted it to swing a bit so I went with 6/8. Just did it on the fly while sight-reading -- had to transpose too, for the book has it in G and I did it in E. I should do another take in 3/4 to get that sitting in the pews feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members Alecto 3 Posted September 10, 2011 Members Share Posted September 10, 2011 Man, what a player. You can hear why Hendrix loved him so. Curtis is the source of Hendrix's rhythm chops. Cool band. David Lindley on lap -- and is that Hiram Bullock? Yeah, that's the late, lamented show Night Music with David Sanborn. It ran for two seasons from 1988 to 1990, and David's big thing was putting musicians from very different genres onstage to see what would happen. Obviously David Sanborn's in there on saxophone plus Bullock and Omar Hakim on drums.Unfortunately, there's no chance of ever getting it on DVD (licensing issues, plus the fact that the show didn't do that well) but they featured some sick jams back in the day. Some of the crazier ones included Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) with Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bongwater and {censored} Willow, David himself with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Conway Twitty with The Residents, and Nick Cave with Ornette Coleman bassist Charlie Haden. Embedding forbidden! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLMRzDFMvEoYeah, I just noticed that. But still worth checking out. God, I love that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
