Killer list. I haven't heard of some of those bands, I'll have to check them out. I've seen Gov't Mule live at the Masquerade in Atlanta the past two summers, they were both amazing shows. Gov't Mule isn't necessarily doing anything new, but they are so talented. Warren Haynes feel, phrasing, and tone are to die for. And as good of a guitar player as he is, he's equally as good of a singer. He has a great, soulful voice.
Yeah, but to be fair, nobody's doing anything new. We're just recycling the same old cliches.
"Dig Down" by Bobby Bare, Jr. is about that very thing, too ;)
"This letter is addressed to Mr. Pete Townsend,
hey brother I'm writing to say thanks for nothing,
your generation used up all the feelings
and if we rock it looks like we're ripping you off.
Hey Mr. Jimmy as I write upon this page
my hands they shake with the delicate rage
my amplifier has no aim for all that it plays
sounds terrific to them not me.
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
the Beatles devoured all there was to be found,
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
nothing green can gather on a rolling stone dig down....
Dig on down....
To whom it may concern for all Hendrix hath burned
the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air
my Fender is just a painted board
and if I light it on fire I become such a ****ing bore.
Black Francis Black Francis
you're the last **********er out,
grabbing all the good stuff and leaving no doubt
that if rock and roll dies it's not my fault
I did the best with the leftovers that I've got.
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
nothing green can gather on a rolling stone,
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
The Beatles devoured all there was to be found dig down....
Dig on down....
All of the juice had been sucked out
Before Mel Bay taught his children to play
So as we climb upon the rotting corpse
Stick it in once again see if the blood will course....
Chuck Berry Chuck Berry
you wrote the only original songs
some white boys stole 'em we all still sing along
Chuck Berry sing to us one more time
before Fred Biscuit freezes everybody's mind
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
the Beatles devoured all there was to be found,
Dig down, dig down the lost and found,
nothing green can gather on a rolling stone dig down....
Dig on down....
