The Sundays : Blind (Geffen 2x45rpm LP, 2025).
And that's all 3 Sundays albums on vinyl once again. I'm not a fan of the 2x 45pm thing - someone making me do more exercise, for minimal gain in sound quality. But heck, you get the group's peerless version of ' Wild Horses ' on this edition, so i'm happy. |

Red and Gold. Picked up an original copy in Out of Time Records today still with the lyric sheet and everything, which was nice. 37 years on, what do you reckon? It seemed like 'a big album' at the time, but very little has lasted well....I think. I guess the Bob was my favourite track at the time. Must give it another play... |

Where else better to see a band named Railroad Earth than in the Caverns of Grundy, Tennessee on February 21? Now they would be a superb act for Cropredy!  I saw them in Glasgow 15-20 years back, on the back of a time spent loving music by bands like String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band etc etc. That whole bluegrass jam band scene created some pretty decent music. I have to say they've entirely dropped off my radar, and the only recorded music of theirs I've got does nothing for me but they were great live, and I strongly imagine still are.... Exactly so. Very much part of the 'Grateful Dead, where next?' milieu. Some wonderful music, generally live, but ultimately, just didn't scratch the itch. |

I went back to the memory well and recovered that I also saw Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Booker T. with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in 2002, and with Neil Young on his 1993 U.S. tour.
Neil Young did the world a service by keeping Steve Cropper out there for a couple of decades. Otherwise, he might never have left Nashville. |

I saw him at Bury St Edmunds Apex. Shared the bill with The Animals, or what was left of them. A great night seated amongst a predominatey grey haired audience. A fine guitarist with a fine line in chat as well. He charmed my teenage daughter, sitting in the front row, after embarrasing her during his intro to Midnight Hour he came across and handed her a signed plectrum after the Green Onions encore. He probably had dozens of them but I think that we got the only one that night.

Wholeheartedly agree. I've seen them about a half dozen times and love them live, but I've never considered listening to any of the studio stuff. Lyrically, the material is standard (at best) and vocally, a bit too nasally for me - but the melodies are excellent and the playing more than makes up for it. |

Wasn't that the Brixton Academy shows where Cropper was absent (ill?) and Poncho played instead (but with the MGs)? You could be right. My memory is perforated. Jules |

Steve Cropper was a modest genius. A very pleasant man, with many accomplishments to be proud of.
I have endeavoured to listen to anything I have discovered him playing on, over the years. May he rest in peace. |

I got to see Steve Cropper once as Dave Mason’s guest a few years ago. I felt honored to be in his presence. Some friends saw the actual Blues Brothers on their 1981ish tour. RIP I saw Steve and Duck Dunn with the Blues Brothers band in 89 at the Hammersmith Odeon and the following year with Booker T at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town. Also saw Duck with EC back in 85. But Steve Cropper was a real inspiration and I'm sure I'm not the only amateur guitarist who has picked up a Fender Telecaster in a music shop after seeing The Blues Brothers film. And yes, I bought that guitar.  |
