Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 - by Mark Bastin

WOW! What can I say? It's been days and I'm still on a musical high I refuse to come down from! After the event I ventured out on an extended leave of sorts and I've returned to share that which was Crossroads Guitar Festival! It was the largest single music event I've ever attended and gave promise to be the most amazing assembly of musicians I've ever witnessed live and it didn't disappoint! First off, let me tell you the weather was warm but a gorgeous sunny day which turned into one unbelievable evening! As the day started people made there way into Toyota Park, finding their place on the field which was covered with a removable flooring, others located their seats in the stands. You could feel a sense of excitement in the air as every face you met gave way to a smile, as there was much to smile about! Prior to the actual Crossroads kickoff they had Kirby Kelley, Guitar Center's King of the Blues winner out to perform the track which won him the title and prizes. It was a tease of sorts as people including myself filed into the area in front of the stage reserved for the first 3,000 attendees who entered that morning. They all had wrist bands, some with cameras, many sporting previous Crossroads shirts, finding their way to the stage as the event was about to open. Bill Murray once again graced the stage as Ambassador of Chicago to begin the festivities and Crossroads 2010 was under way!! I'll come back to the music highlights but I want to continue on in describing the event and the attractions.

I was able to move about freely while my photographer Raymon Guajardo was stationed on the photo riser just left of the sound booth on the field, as I walked within those on the flooring it was apparent many were return visitors from the 2007 event and the conversations combined to highlight past performances and praise what was ahead. The best part of moving through the crowd which was evident throughout the whole day was the unity displayed. Guitar fanatics unite!! Early in the afternoon I had made my way over the far end stairs to investigate the Guitar Village which wrapped that end at ground level. My discovery was both exciting and educational! Among all the vendors one theme was constant, plug and play!! You could walk up to Fender, Gibson, Guitar Center, and many other vendors and sample their offerings to the guitar world with many on hand to field questions and encourage purchases. Guitar Center had a Legends display showcasing three world famous guitars, two of Clapton's most famous including his strat named Blackie. The third was one which stopped me in my tracks, the strat played by the man responsible for drawing me to blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan's 1965 Lenny! As I stood in front of the guitar my eyes began to swell, now I realize this was most likely a replica of Lenny but I was struck with the overwhelming feeling that came when I heard Stevie's music which still gives chills when listening. I had my picture taken in front of the larger than life picture display of Stevie, it's now my phone background.


As I strolled through the village it was my intent to hear Ryan McGarvey, the Ernie Ball contest winner who earned the right to perform on the Ernie Ball Stage placed within the village. It was a small trailer stage and very much like walking up to a game at a local fair which had a huge impact on my day! It was early afternoon as Ryan and his band began to play with many from the midwest who knew nothing of him on facebook or myspace as they were all asking his name. As Ryan's set proceeded viewers began to gasp in amazement for never knowing of such a talent! Words like incredible and hot were used to describe the young guitarist as the crowd grew larger around the stage. The song which impacted the audience most was saved for his finale, a nine minute instrumental called "Mystic Dream" and it delivered as the crowd erupted after his guitar solo where he displayed why he was the winner! As the song and set ended Ryan gave thanks for the invitation to Crossroads and to the crowd for listening. After a blistering acoustic set from Joe Bonamassa on the same stage I was off to hear more from the main stage. Joe was equally as exciting and gracious to the fans with more to come on him in the arena.

Crossroads on the main stage began as it did in 2007, an intro from Bill Murray introducing Eric, then Eric introducing Sonny Landreth and the music was off and running. Sonny performed Promiseland with Eric onstage in one of his songs reminding us all why Sonny opens the show and is who he is! Robert Randolph and the Family Band followed with Joe Bonamassa and Pino Daniele assisting. Joe's only song of his own he performed was Further On Up The Road and it was stellar as usual but it was odd only seeing Joe lead on one song. Robert and Pino both took lead vocal honors with Robert's sister assisting as well. On the next set Robert Cray, and Hubert Sumlin, took the stage with Jimmy Vaughan performing an emotional rendition of Six Strings Down in their set. As each performance ended they spun the rotating stage around to speed the transition so we all had little down time between sets, it was very effective and pleasing to the crowd. I don't want to overlook the fact Robert Cray sounded better than ever and any time Hubert Sumlin is on stage makes it a legendary performance! Moving further into the day I found myself listening to Jesus Just Left Chicago once again having just seen ZZ Top at the Indy 500 Carb Day show but the difference on this day was they sounded better than any time I've ever heard them live! They also covered Foxy Lady which drew great approval. Albert Lee, Keb Mo, and Vince Gill jammed together with Albert's daughter joining in on lead vocals on one song. Vince performed his top hit, Whenever You Come Around but his guitar play was really what took center stage! Then Vince covered with permission, Eric's song, Lay Down Sally, with Sheryl Crow assisting on vocals and James Burton and Earl Klugh jamming on guitar. It was exciting to see and hear all the genres covered with all the musicians on stage as rock, country, blues, and jazz were all represented by many of the best in their respective genres, although blues was the theme of the day.

I spoke of my trip to the guitar village earlier in the day which unfortunately meant I had to miss someone on the main stage, this was a big sacrifice for me as my favorite guitarist, Doyle Bramhall was on stage with Sheryl Crow and I missed it all. Fortunately a few fans had videos online allowing me to see what I missed but as with any live show it's more moving when it's in your face. The next group in our face was Chicago legend Buddy Guy along with Ron Wood, and Jonny Lang, representing three generations of blues and or blues rock. They were like three little boys on stage!! To see Buddy still playing as he does at a young 73 is simply remarkable!! Ron and Jonny's guitar play pleased the crowd as well while Buddy makes the comment, "it's a blast between two who play like that, makes me feel like I'm in heaven." We were all feeling it as Buddy screams and goes into playing the Rolling Stone's song Miss You, while Jonny begins to sing requesting the crowd to join in. This was my favorite set on the big stage as all three have meant so much to me musically so I was truly in heaven with them! This being my largest music event ever to cover I was struggling to focus on covering the event versus falling into an all out blues rock fanatic coma! There were some great songs but the musicians stood out on this day as Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Warren Haynes performed in place of the Allman Brothers since Gregg was unable to attend due to a successful liver transplant. David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas from Los Lobos also joined in. They covered the Allman Brothers song Soul Shine as a tribute and it was well received!

Johnny Winter slowly walked out and sat on a chair performing a cover of Red House as the fans all showed respect for the elder statesman of blues. It was a magical day of music and Jeff Beck added to the magic with a magical musical score of his own which left you writing the story in your head as the notes took you to another place. Jeff was also sporting a new bass player named Rhonda Smith who not only had some amazing bass lines, but she also thrilled the crowd with her vocals! After such an amazing performance you'd expect more of the same right? What followed was Bill Murray in one of his many costumes over the course of the day. He was Elvis and wiped his forehead with a red cloth which he revealed was a Chicago Blackhawks Flag, the crowd cheered as he through it in the audience as Elvis had thrown a scarf. A last minute addition to the event was Citizen Cope as he performed I Shot The Sheriff with Clapton leading into Steve Winwood's performance with Eric Clapton and a stirring Clapton style cover of Voodoo Chile which was very intense! Cocaine and Mr. Fantasy were also favorites played for an estimated crowd of 30,000.

The final set was upon us with what appeared to be 20 guitar amps across the stage as Eric, Jimmy Vaughan, Robert Cray, and B.B. King took the stage. As the three younger artists strummed softly B.B. began to tell a story which took a very long time to complete but the living legend of blues was given his due and began to sing Rock Me Baby. Watching this finale made me realize I could be seeing things I may never see again so it was both amazing and emotional for me. These four men then went into another B.B. tune, The Thrill Is Gone, and it was equally special to witness! From there many of the day's performers took the stage to sing Sweet Home Chicago and nearly all of the crowd had remained in their seats to witness another historical ending in the making! It was a truly sweet ending to an extraordinary day in witnessing some of the best musicians the world had to offer, leaving memories which would last forever! One last note, Eric Clapton spoke at one point in the day stating that the crowd was reason to say there would be another Crossroads, so for those who had heard this was the last one, rejoice, and get to the next one, it will be all you had hoped it would be. I know it was for me, an unforgettable experience as a writer, fan, and music lover, one I will cherish!

Beck & Clapton Rock NYC!!!! - by J. Blake

(New York, NY)

This past week, almost exactly two years after New York City’s Madison Square Garden housed three historic concerts by two of England’s most influential rockers, the venue known as “The World's Most Famous Arena” once again hosted a legendary team up of British rock (and blues) royalty. On Thursday February 18, 2010 Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton took to the stage for their first of only two USA concert dates and entertained the capacity crowd with close to three full hours of rock ‘n’ roll, jazz fusion, reggae, classical and a heaping helping of blues.

Unlike the 2008 Winwood/Clapton concerts, which found the two music titans taking the stage together for the entirety of their performances, Beck and Clapton opted for a different approach. Mimicking their original joint concerts in Japan in February of 2009, the two Yardbird alumni split the evening into three sets; Beck and his band opening the show with 45 minutes of instrumentals, Clapton following with his own band and an a hour’s worth of career-spanning hits and the two joining forces for a blues-filled 40 minute finale.

As Jeff Beck took the stage at 8:01pm with his band and a 30 piece orchestra, patrons were still making their way to their sits. The arena was not yet filled, but there was excitement in the air. The guitar virtuoso opened the evening’s festivities with a medley of John McLaughlin’s “Eternity’s Breath” and Bill Cobham’s “Stratus”. The remainder of his set was full of Beck show staples like “Led Boots”, “Big Block”, “Brush with the Blues” and his Grammy nominated instrumental arrangement of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life”. The orchestra waiting patiently, only accompanied the aging guitar-legend on the above mentioned Beatles cover and a handful of songs from his forthcoming album, EMOTION & COMMOTION; including a melodramatic encore of Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma”, an aria made famous by the late Luciano Pavarotti.

As always his playing was exceptional; his technique and execution light-years beyond the capabilities of any of his “British Blues Boom” contemporaries. His set-list, noncommercial sensibilities and unorthodox/confrontational playing-style may have found the majority of the classic rock loving audience a bit off guard, but it was clear that he had won them over by the intermission.

After a 30 minute resetting of the stage, Clapton emerged from the wings. He began his set seated with an acoustic guitar in hand; opening with renditions of Charles Brown’s “Driftin’” and Jimmy Cox’s “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out”. “Running on Faith” from his 1989 album JOURNEYMAN as well as “I’ve Got a Rock ‘n’ Roll Heart” from his currently running T-Mobile television spot, followed. As he stood up and strapped on his Stratocaster, newly revived Dominos classics like “Tell the Truth” and Big Bill Broonzy’s “Key to the Highway” elicited cheers from the audience.

The highlight of Clapton’s set unsurprisingly came in the form of reggae. Some of his most inspired playing of the evening occurred as the band vamped in the key of ‘G’ over a standard reggae beat; before launching in the signature riff of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff”. A slow blues arrangement of Robert Johnson’s “Little Queen of Spades” and yet another lackluster version of J.J. Cale’s “Cocaine” concluded Clapton’s solo set and though his set certainly satisfied the casual concertgoer, it undoubtedly left the Clapton fanatics in the audience (like myself) slightly disappointed.

His hour long set was casual and laidback, but unfortunately not in a good way. The song selection would’ve been better suited to a smaller venue and despite a few sparks of musical intensity, his playing as a whole seemed a little cold, distant and uninspired. His lack of a rhythm guitarist, though a rare and interesting occurrence, sadly left some of the songs sounding hollow and empty; i.e. “Running on Faith” sans its familiar slide-guitar/dobro accompaniment.

Fortunately the evening was not yet over. As “Cocaine” came to a close Jeff Beck strolled on to the stage with a Telecaster slung over his shoulder and a bottleneck slide on his finger. The two former blues disciples returned to their roots, launching into a lively cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Moneymaker”. In fact, with the exception of an oddly chosen and crudely executed version of Johnny Mercer’s “Moon River” and an energetic cover of Sly Stone’s “(I Want to Take You) Higher”, the bulk of their time together on stage was spent (for better or for worse) exploring the simplistic beauty of the 12-bar blues.

As on Jeff Beck’s 2009 DVD, PERFORMING THIS WEEK…LIVE AT RONNIE SCOTTS, the night’s highlights were undoubtedly Willie Dixon’s “You Need Love” and Muddy Waters’ “Little Brown Bird”. On these songs, the two guitar-legends lived up to their titles with their musical interplay and Clapton’s vocals were particularly passionate and on point. From a trivial standpoint, it is also worth noting that “Little Brown Bird” actually appeared as the B-side to Muddy Water’s original Chess single of “You Need Love” in 1962.

Their cover of Jimmy Reed’s “Wee Wee Baby” was also exceptional and their joint set was rounded out by covers of two former Cream blues classics; Blind Joe Reynolds’ “Outside Woman Blues” and an encore of Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads”.

It was a fun evening of music and it undoubtedly satisfied the bulk of those in attendance, but for guitar enthusiasts and Beck/Clapton fanatics (like myself), the performance just did not live up to expectation. Though their separate sets were certainly entertaining enough, they did not reach the bar that either artist has set for themselves in previous solo performances. Unfortunately the night became more about waiting for their inevitable team up, as opposed to being awed by their individual talents.

Sadly even the team up, as great as it was, just managed to miss the mark. Obviously seeing these two masters play the blues together was a thrill, but to only play eight songs and have six of them be so similar; it seemed like a bit of a waste and quite frankly, a little beneath them. Seeing that these are two of the greatest guitarists to ever strap on a Fender, a more varied and complex set-list would’ve been more satisfying. What they played together may have been unbelievable in a small club, but for a sold out (19,500+) crowd, Beck and Clapton needed to step it up just a bit.

Unfortunately the two guitarists did not share the same kind of chemistry that Clapton and Winwood had on stage. They did not seem to be having fun while they played together and they appeared to lack that friendly rivalry that could have pushed them both to new heights. If anything, their joint set seemed to be more about dumbing down Beck’s skill, than pushing Clapton out of his comfort zone; a harsh contrast from Clapton’s exceptional performances with The Allman Brothers Band in March of last year.

With all that said, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton are legends of rock and blues guitar and their team up is iconic. Their performances may not have completely satisfied this picky critic, but thousands of other music fans that were in attendance that night left Madison Square Garden with their minds blown and I would be lying if I said the performance wasn’t well worth the price admission.

Chicago Blues: Al Stone Chicago to Jacksonville by Gatorman

Al Stone

There are artists and then there is Al Stone. Al is a true blue blues artist. He can hold his own with any top name blues/southern rock artist out there today. He has the stuff plain and simple. I met Al Stone while watching a live stream of a blues jam. Al was in the chat room. When I identified myself as a blues blogger he asked if I could listen to his CD. I said OK. I did not expect much, but man oh man, I was mistaken. I was totally blown away.  Mr. Stone is a Chicagoan who now resides in the land of the gator Florida. I am looking out my window while writing this and Al is one lucky man for it is wintertime in Chicago and the snow is falling down. (song hmmmmm)His Chicago roots are very evident in his music and it also reflects his southern rock location. Al is also a genuinely good natured individual.

How did you come to the music world?

With dreams of a new Cadillac good whiskey and bad women. OK that was just a joke.   Every one from my Mother and my three older sisters play music, and I was the youngest , when I was about 12 years old, my sisters had an all girl band called the Diamond Lenz. They toured the Midwest, and I was there roadie.

If it wasn’t music where would you be?
 
Well to tell you the truth, I used to work in forge shops like Wyman and Gordon and Commercial stamping and forging in the Chicago land area .

 Do you come from a musical background?

Yes, as I was saying before, and to add to the fact that, every one in my family plays music, my mother played fiddle, mandolin, piano, and guitar like Chet Adkins, and every morning she would wake me by playing Church gospels, and she was also a singer on a live gospel, broadcast radio show in Jacksonville, Fl.,  when she was 19 [ wjax ]
 
Where did you grow up? Do you miss it?

I was born in Chicago, than moved to a suburb called Markham, but I hung out in the Chicago area, most of my late teens and early twenties , playing music . And I will be back in Chicago soon, planning on doing a couple of shows in March , Cant wait so yes I miss Chicago!!

When did you first start playing?

I started out with Drums at 10, then my sister, Lorren, who played bass Guitar gave me her first bass at 12 . It was a cheaper one that she replaced with a Gibson EB0,  than in one of my earlier bands, we were playing this song, and the guitar player could not get the lead guitar break right so we switched guitars and from than on I played Lead guitar.

I really love the style of music you play. What genre would you put it in?

Electric Blues

Can you tell me what your current stage set-up is?

I am playing a custom hot rodded  Peavey amp, but it is a temp, till the same guy that did the hot rod work [ Erik Guess ] gets my Train wreak Express Clone done . And a Ibanez AR250 made in 2002 its made like a Les Paul double cut away guitar. No effects straight  into the amp, and a Seymour Duncan Pick up at the bridge.

I don’t have a Favorite one , but I have a favorite few, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winters, Ry  Cooder, are always in my favorite’s but I change from time to time with some of the new guys.

Do you have a favorite venue?

I love playing blues fests, but there is some thing to be said about the intimacy of a smaller club .  being close to people brings out the deeper emotions of your playing, its like your havin a personal conversation with the people in the room that your playing for.

Is there anything in the works?

Yes, I am recording some new songs to be released  asap, and I am focusing on a tour in the U.K. and South Fl.  I will be At the House of Blues , Orlando . June 26 /27 . Oh and Chicago in March

How do you approach writing songs?

Most of the songs I write,  just kinda pop in my head , its like I see the guitar playing the song and the words are just there all at once, than I have to figure out what I heard and saw in my head .

Do you start with lyrics or music?

I try to write down the lyrics first as they flow from my mind, while all the while I hear the music in music head.

What would be your ultimate place to play?

That question,.. Its like a big menu at a great restaurant, to many choices to answer that one . I Guess it would be a show that was broadcast live, from a popular venue, so the world could view it.


What do you for see in the near future?

Good times, Great people, And music that tells the truth

Do you have any top secret things you’d like to share?

Yes, I Do and it is some thing that, I already know,  some people will not get it, and others will love it, at least I hope. And as a matter of fact when we first met I shared it with you. and  I am sure that, not many people have seen it. Do you Remember that test Video I did on a PC camera and a 70 year old 4 string regal.  Well lets give them that. It will be fun.  After all you said I should let people see it . So lets do it.  Give them the link.

As an artist how do you deal with the business end of the art?

Its all good, just go with it. There are good and bad times for every one.  And in the end if you did what you love and stuck to your Artistic  believes . Than what ever happens, than its ok.
 

Let’s turn to your CD “I Want It All”. I received your CD in the mail and really did not think much of it until I listened to it. When I popped it in my player I could not stop listening. I literally listened to it 5 times before I took a break. It has to be one of my all time favorite CD’s. It has extremely strong vocals and outstanding guitar work. Very, very soulful and straight from the heart and I believe this could easily be a big hit in 2010. Thanks the journey well be fun Tell me a little bit about how it came about. The title cut “I want It All (’59 Cadillac)” has quite a funky groove. Tell me about it. Gatorman, that is honestly, one of the songs that jumped in my head as I walked past a piece of paper and started writing, there was words and music in about 15 minutes. And another years worth of work to make it play just right .

“Strange” another funky style blues with the wah-wah guitar. Where did it come from?

Strange was written on a stage at a club, here in Jacksonville, Fl.  Where I hosted a jam, the story goes like this. It was early after noon the doors of the club were not open yet and I had my band on the stage for a quick rehearsal, I said  got a new riff for the jam tonight, so we jammed it , I told the band the changes, than we took a break, and I drank beer and scratched out the words on a napkin.

“The captain” is as poignant as the opening line ”Like a knife driven suddenly through a strong cold heart of a winter’s night”. I am at a loss for words to describe this one. It is simply powerful and well done. Where did the idea come from for this song?

It Came to me as I walked on the ocean beach in Jacksonville, Fl.

I leave the idea of what it means up to the listener , for that is the magic in that song .

“She’s Gone” is a great lumpty lump romp into the rocking side of blues. “Blind Dog” is my favorite on the whole CD. What a great groove. Where did the song come from?

Blind Dog was inspired By Johnny Winter, I just love that Blues he plays like  “ Going Back to Dallas “ and its about this mean dog that a girl friend had, and the dog didn’t like any one. So the first time I went to her house there I was walking up on a mean Dog that I didn’t Know and the dog just sat on my foot and liked me. The dog followed me every where till it got old .

“Pontiac Four Door” is quite humorous. Was that your intent?

No it’s a true store, and that is why its so funny. And as you know good blues is all about making real live hard times into stories that makes  fun of being alive .

“Drunk Again” great southern blues rock song. Is it based on real life?

Well , I am quit sure some one is living that life, but it reminds me of a few people I knew in my own life.

“Old #9” Another great down home delta blues influenced song. Lumpty lump at it’s soul.
“12 Personalities” Is it based on life experience? 

Well  has to do with the way I  saw  an old girl from back than.

“ Don’t Try To Change Me” What a rocker. Was that your intent or did it just happen?

Well it was what I said to the girl that didn’t want me to play music. I told her don’t try and change me !!  So I guess it got an in your face kinda sound .  it’s the old Blues had a baby and they called it Rock and Roll thing [ Muddy Waters }

Al emailed me with this about the video.


Gatorman,

  The Regal guitar played in the video is made for a banjo player to play when he is not looking for a banjo sound, but wants to play a guitar sound . It is 1930 's and was only made for a few years. It is a four string tenor Guitar style with a banjo shape neck.  In this video it only has three of the strings on it and they have been on the guitar since I was little about 45 years or possible more. ,  They are tuned  to strings 4,5,6 of a guitar in E tuning , the song was made up on the spot, to test my web cam, and what you are seeing is the first time it was played. Making up the words as I went along.  Song Title " Walkin Cane " has since turned into one of my completed new original songs I perform live at my shows, Starting with the first verse  just me and a Dobro and the band kickin in on the second versus, and me kickin in on an Electric Guitar,   with versus and solo breaks . inspiration comes when it comes !

well that is about it

Al Stone
