NoRhino Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Larry 'The Mole' Taylor has died. A great bass player with Canned Heat who also played on several of the Monkees records. You'll need to do your own homework for find out which ones. As a young fledgling bass player many decades ago I loved Larry's playing and still try to incorporate his style into some of the Blues numbers we play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Sad on the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Great player. The Canned Heat story is one of triumphs and sadness. If you can get a hold of a copy of Living the blues by drummer Fito de la Parra get it. Its quite a story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Sad news. And what a great bass player - I learned a lot from him and other rock/jazz/blues bass players of that era. Played some wicked bass solos - such as on this track from 1970 - on a Precision bass - and some nice walking bass parts. http://youtu.be/zRzZgNlyQ7U He also confounded the Fender experts by announcing he bought a new black slab bodied Precision in the 60s from a music store in the US, thinking it was just a normal Precision - it is visible on the Monterey Pop film!
