Re: What song are you listening to right now?

Watched Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers DVD, Runnin' Down A Dream last night. It is a four disc set including a Peter Bogdanovich career spanning documentary with some great old footage and the 30th Anniversary Concert in Gainsville, Florida which is fantastic. I wish Tom and the 'breakers would consider some dates across the pond as this is where they got their big break.


Peace and Jam

Re: What song are you listening to right now?

Hey Shred,

Yes, that's the cover of the album. I have to agree -it's a masterpiece. That's the late, great Eddie Hazel on guitar. According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel to play the first half of the song like his mother had just died and to play the second half as if he had found out she was alive (other variants of the story suggest that he was simply told to play as if he had found his mother dead.)

The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized the power of Hazel's solo and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar (the band can only truly be heard during the end of the song, and even then, it is barely audible.) The entire track was recorded in one take. The solo is played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of four simple arpeggios. Hazel's solo was played through a fuzzbox and a wah pedal, some sections of the song utilize a delay effect.

Jeff, actually no, The Isley Brothers weren't part of Funkadelic, but Ernie Isley, now that you brought them up, is one bad **** guitarist who got to learn from the best when Jimi was with The Isley Brothers in the early 60's. You can't go wrong with having Hendrix to study up close every night.

Just having a reflective moment and thought about this song, Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. Just a beautiful, beautiful song IMHO. Just takes me to another place.

I'm getting really into the album Warpaint by the Black Crowes...
