Ok Southern Comfort..81 likes for Timmy Thomas..what a nugget!
I grew up in Nottingham ..the last of four Brothers..so i was as a nipper weaned on Sabbath, Faust, MC5 and back again!
I must admit reading about and listening to Stones music aroused all my 'receptors'
For instance i went to see Led Zeppelin in 1979...because the New Barbarians supported them.
Ron Wood- Keith Richards- Stanley Clarke and Zigaboo Modeliste from The Meters.
Cabbage Alley caught my eye in a 99 cent bargain bin..still spinning it today.
Parliament and Stax stuff is a great access point for springboarding further.
Then i heard lots of similarities in Southern Rock music...that carried me beyond the brilliant Lynyrd Skynyrd to Zydeco, swamp , chitlin and JJ.Cale.
Lovely to hear a guy on the same journey.
And it goes on in this Family now..WolfMother, Santana or Lamb Of God come from my Daughters bedroom.
Here's a groove track perfect for driving these piss wet irish roads-ian.
The Meters - Middle Of The Road.
