Well, here's the last electrical hunk of Harpswell Hoot '11 for all of you. The long and short: this cover fell apart at the end, we had some drum mic drop-out and, as with the last Springsteen post, it took waaaaay too long in post-production. It still isn't quite where it should be, but what the hell--- one makes due, and it certainly beats a sharp stick in the eye. Time to get to wiping the slate.
Thin Lizzy. Sadly remembered by most people for "The Boys Are Back in Town", and only for that one (great) song. Take a listen to the records from around '75-'77-- "Fighting", "Jailbreak", "Bad Reputation" --- for the full story. Ever-changing lineups. Dual lead-guitar onslaught plus signature guitarmonies. Fat '70s tom-tom drums. Hard rock with a soft heart. Heroic rise, tragic fall. Phil Lynott, poet of the working class, and victim of the sad cliche ending. The only black English emigrant bassist rocker that I know of with a life-size bronze off of Grafton St. in Dublin, complete with afro and Fender jazz bass. Ran into it completely by accident a few years back. "Hey Oonagh, y'know that statue over there looks just like Phil Lynott......"
This was a Sunday tune, so Roger had already hightailed it back to the Pioneer Valley. The basics were recorded with Dillo on guitar, Paul B on Wurlitzer, RK on drums and me on the bass.
