Before he played his white Moon LG Signature axes, Larry Graham worked in a great Bay Area band . . . .

When I was 15 or so, my buddy Crazy Mike bought a used (you can probably read "hot" for "used" there......) 8-track for his '64 Mercury Monterey Breezeway; it came with ELP's Tarkus, Fever Tree's eponymous debut, and that album.  Every thing on it is burned into my DNA!

KD with 'Constant Craving'.  Simply exquisite.

The first time I snuck into a bar with a band (I was ALMOST old enough at 18 in those days), there was a big blue-eyed soul band, matching suits, steps, big-lunged front man, the whole thing, and THIS is what they were playing: Buddy Miles' 'Them Changes', which with lead, Hammond, alto sax they stretched to keep the house dancing the night away.  I never saw anything cooler than that.  So here's Mike McDonald singing it from the Dukes of September project with Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs.  Ready Freddie Washington on bass.

Hadn't heard that one in a goodly spell.  I recall when rumors of Double Trouble starting hitting the Chicago scene, and we were all like, "What? Jimmy Vaughn has a brother??"


As it turned out, he certainly did.......


Thanks for the post, Joey.

That Sly's greatest hits is a desert island album for sure. If you're ever feeling down, give it a spin!

It truly is smooth and greasy in the best way.

I love the youtube comments on this one: "This is possibly the most funky song ever written."
