rock salt and nails by steve young is a serious hepcat totem. very hard to find a copy these days cuz people want it so much. a record that you could get for nothing for years and now it goes for $$$.

This thread needs some Tony Joe White. Beyond the tunes and that lush low voice, his guitar playing is ace and he gets real funky with a wah wah on some tunes.

That Murray Head tune up thread is good.

Here's Roger Daltrey doing "Say It Ain't So" with Andy Fairweather-Low on backing vocals (but not in the video) (and Moon's in the video, but not on the recording):https://youtu.be/9bVGTVrQd6M
AF-W was also Townshend's stand-in while the Who started It's Hard, waiting for Pete to finish rehab. There's a couple songs on it without Pete/with A F-W.

Thanks---forgot about his involvement w The Who; he also sang on a bunch of Who Are You tracks, also toured with them I think, later backed some Townsend solo activities etc.

True about the Who Are You backing vocals, but AF-W didn't tour with the Who...are you thinking of Billy Nicholls (who also sang backup on Who Are You, and toured with them in 1989, 1996, and 1997) ?

Hadn't heard of Billy Nichols! Speaking of Garland J again, I was vaguely thinking this morning bout how he hung out with Reed and Cale way back, and have read that early VU sometimes covered his "Josephine", with Cale singing it---which cued up this GJ-written track in my headbox (if can't see it: "Fairweather Friend", as performed by Mr. JC on Vintage Violence)
