Revival, November, 2005, Lakewood Bar & Grill, Dallas, Tx.

A slowed down, groove oriented version of this great Allman Brothers Classic

Yours Truly on the Corcidin bottle slide.  Apologies but no regrets to Allman Brothers and Gibson guitar fans who don't expect to hear this played on a Fender Stratocaster.  That night, it just worked out that way.

February, 2004, home jam session, Dallas, Tx.

Laid back Sunday afternoon jam.  Marcy is awesome here - makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. 

I have no idea what influenced the guitar solo, it just seemed to fit.

Revival, July, 2004, The Pigeon Hole, Irving, Tx.

This Herbie Hancock standard has been covered a lot by jazz, rock and top 40 dance bands, but before you say, "Again?", give this a listen.  There is nothing 'standard' about the solid, intense groove that Paul and Jake give this one.

Revival, July, 2006, The Hole in The Wall, Dallas, Tx.

Excerpt taken from our favorite end-of-the-night, pull-out-the-stops, groove-driven, feel-good dance song.  This solo is heavily influenced by the Dallas based 70's band, "Fancy Space and The Rockin' Rhythm Daddys, featuring the amazing Bugs Henderson on guitar. 

Revival, March, 2006, The Hole in The Wall, Dallas, Tx.

First off, it's important to understand, "It Ain't What You Think".  This is Revival's version of The Funky Meter's version of the Steve Miller song from the 70's.  Clear as mud?  Then maybe you should just hear for yourself.  Very funky. 

Solo Order:  Skeeter and I 'trade fours' here, with Skeeter starting, then we 'trade two's', 'trade one's', etc... 

The Fins, August, 1996, The Uptown Bar and Grill, Dallas, Tx. 

Cool shuffle featuring horn parts made up of sax and guitar, also known as The Fins Half a Horn Section.  Outstanding vocals by Marcy and an incredibly tight rhythm thanks to Art on bass and Mark on drums.  The guitar solo is taken from Derek O'Brian, Austin, Tx premiere blues guitarist and Antone's session player-deluxe who recorded this song with Lou Ann Barton.  Blues guitar fans check out anything this guy has done. 

Revival, February, 2007, The Hole in The Wall, Dallas, Tx.

Something about The Hole in the Wall often inspires some of our more intense efforts.  Judge for yourself on this Allman Brothers instrumental.

Solo Order:  Part I: Jim on keys;  Part II, Your's Truly;  Part III, Skeeter;  Part IV, Paul on drums

Revival, March, 2006, The Hole in The Wall, Dallas, Tx.

Greg Allman tune from his "Laid Back" album.  6/8 ballad that drops a beat when it goes to double time; a weird tempo and still they dance to it.

Solo Order:  Part I - yours truly, Part II - Jim on piano.

Rehearsal, March, 2006, Home Session, Dallas, Tx.

Basic, mic-in-the-room bootleg-quality recording over  Pharoah Sanders' "Thembi".  Cool guitar tone using very inexpensive guitar gear.

Recorded September, 2007, Dallas, Tx.

Recorded March, 2007, Dallas, Tx.

Higher recording quality home recording with a digital backing track.  Lots of overdrive and sustain.  Otherwise a real challenge to keep up the phrasing at an ultra slow tempo.

Revival, November 2004, Home, Dallas, Tx.

Not bad recording quality on this clip for a mic thrown in the middle of the room.  This was done by the band, Revival, during rehearsal.

Revival, November, 2005, Lakewood Bar & Grill, Dallas, Tx.

A real burner - Originally written and performed by Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen,  who also gave us "Hot Rod Lincoln" and "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette", the song really is too much fun.  This one is dedicated to the great redneck jazz & jump blues bar bands of the 70's, including Commander Cody and Zorro & The Blue Footballs. 

Solo order:  Part I and Part II, Yours Truly.  Part III, Jim on keys, Part IV, Skeeter Harrison. 

Andrea Dawson Blues Band, 2004, Deep Ellum Blues, Dallas, Tx.

Very cool, rich, organic tone from a Gibson SG that sounds at times like a Gibson semi hollow body.  Good tight rhythm, thanks to Mark and Drew.  Thanks to Andrea for the talent and direction.
