Johnny Shines - Solo Acoustic Sets, live in Melbourne 1979

Hi Xyros. Greetings from Australia. My name is Mick Bowden.

I'm a long-time reader of your blog & over the last couple of decades have downloaded many gems I would've had zero chance of finding anywhere else. As a way of thanking you & giving back to the community I'd like to offer you & your readers something quite unique.

In 1979 my band at the time, The Hepsters, were booked to back Johnny Shines on 2 dates in Melbourne. Johnny did a third show also but was backed by a different band. In each show Johnny did the opening set solo on acoustic guitar followed by 1 or 2 sets on electric guitar with the band. While the recordings (straight from the desk) are a valued memento of my early days in music, I'm not particularly impressed by the band tracks. However, the 3 solo sets are something very special. 

 

Cheers, Mick

Billy Branch: One memorable session that comes to mind was with Hayes Ware. You've heard of Hip Link Chain? For a few years Hayes played bass with Hip but he also played a little guitar. Hayes called me to do this project. The studio was right down the street from Theresa's. This old guy named Grover had a little basement studio. We had no rehearsal and this guy he played very rudimentary guitar but his songs were so original. Every time I play it for anyone, they always want a copy. The actual LP it's called Hayes Ware's Blues He Got A Woman. It is the funkiest sound and man you never heard a tone like I got in that studio. Never. This guy Grover was some kind of recording engineering genius. The tone of the harp is like the best of the tone of Sonny Boy on Chess Records. It's deep. That one was memorable because everything just fit. It was one of those magical moments. There were no rehearsals. Then you listen to it 20 years later and think damn that was some brilliant shit. (found on Youtube)
Doesn't get much funkier and low down than this gem.
