    It's a Two10S and was definitely a worthwhile purchase. I'm keen to get a One10 for rehearsals and smaller gigs, as though the Two10S is relatively light it's still a bit of a faff.

    I regularly use an Elf and One10. We play blues at average volume.

     

    I have a second identical cab if needed but it stays in my room for 19/20 gigs.

    Lucinda Williams Sealed CD - SECOND PRICE DROP £7 POSTED - *SOLD*

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Mickeyboro

    New album by Americana’s first lady.  £7 posted UK. Still shrinkwrapped.
     


    On Stories from a Rock N Roll Heart Williams teamed up with singer/songwriter and dear friend Jessie Malin, who co-wrote three tracks on the album and helped her flush out some of the melodies on guitar. Williams also looked to her longtime road manager, Travis Stephens, a veteran guitarist and songwriter, to bring her ideas to life as he co-wrote six songs on the album.

     

    The result is a melodic 10-song rock offering that is an inspiring testament to Williams’ fortitude and perseverance to continue to create under any circumstances. Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart kicks off with the gritty “Let’s Get The Band Back Together,” launching a musical journey that includes edgy rockers such as “Rock N Roll Heart” and “This Is Not My Town.” Williams pays tribute to rock legends Tom Petty (“Stolen Moments”) and Replacements’ co-founder Bob Stinson(“Hum’s Liquor”), to whom she dedicates the album.

     

    It would not be a Lucinda Williams album without pulling on the heartstrings. The moving “Last Call for the Truth,” the nostalgic and beautiful “Jukebox,” and the poignant album closer “Never GonnaFade Away” are Williams at her classic best. A true highlight of Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart is the epic “Where the Song Will Find Me,” a hauntingly beautiful piece, orchestrated and arranged by Lawrence Rothman. Throughout the song, Williams expresses that despite everything she has been through she will never stop seeking, and we are all the better for it.C49B56E8-B65F-435A-A341-D532702C9E1C.thumb.jpeg.941c077549b42da4ae55ed92adc61431.jpegD0D56DB8-B470-43F1-8785-39E00329BAE8.thumb.jpeg.b7f4fc1916cfeea8a1d4f59d00511946.jpeg

    Today at a festival in Dorset, gagglefest (due to it being the gaggle of geese).

    Did an hour between 2-3pm, when it threatened to rain but didn't so people could sit out. it was a bit early, had some dancing but not as much as you would get later.

    Were told that the venue were laying on a PA with a sort of implication it was a PA company, but turned out that one of the other bands from later were putting on the PA, and it was considerably smaller than ours! Last year a group laid the PA on and it was massive. this time there wasn't any micing for the drums and no monitoring, so couldn't hear anything. Sort of sounded ok out the front with no real drumming. Still, I didn't have to worry about it and it was nice being like the guitarist for once and just turning up with an amp, pedalboard and bass.

    But my bass was pretty clear, so that was nice!

     

    Still, got to love a full paying 1 hour gig in the afternoon where you can get home before the shops shut and have food at home!

    I saw them at Hull City Hall around that time, great gig. They had a great run of singles that were all stylistically different, yet

    retained their unique sound. I didn't like 'Dreadlock Holiday' which for me signified the end of their good stuff.

    Eric Stewart was a great player with a nice old LP Standard, as well as Lol and him using tasty LP Juniors. 

    Funnily enough Pete, I feel the same way about Dreadlock as I do Mr Blue Sky! Heard it too often…

     

    BTW is it me, or is Dreadlock somewhat politically incorrect?

     

     

    Respect the bass!

    Been to two gigs recently where the bass has been disrespected - in my view anyway. 
     

    Billy Gibbons and his accomplice in his solo show both played guitars with some kind of built-in octaver that produced a mushy bass note. Dusty Hill would not have approved. 
     

    And while Zack Starkey does a passable Moon, the bass role has been diminished since Pino left the Who. Really unbalances the music.

     

    Rant over!

    For those that don't do the bookface, we're playing at the o2 Ritz in Manchester on Tuesday 25th July, supporting Kiefer Sutherland on his UK tour. 

    We were lucky enough to be involved with his tour last Autumn, which was unfortunately cut short when he caught covid. They've been really good to us and included us the Manchester date of the rescheduled tour, despite having another act in support as well.

    So you are Fine Lines?

    Otis Jay Blues Band played an assisted living complex in Bournemouth. All good clean fun, got some people dancing in their seats and/or on their feet.

     

    My Elf and Barefaced One10 kicked it in the outdoors, and I am still enjoying my recently acquired Flea bass. It almost plays itself!IMG_4209.thumb.jpeg.9baa915ab084d8d960889313cdf1c18b.jpeg
