I completely agree. I confess to being more of a Beatles fan, but I recognize that the Stones, with Taylor, and especially live, have been the best rock band in history.

Yes, there’s a longevity about the Stones that might never be surpassed, over 60 years now. When it comes to be Beatles vs, Stones debate, I tend to lean against another of their contempraries, namely the Kinks. Now they’re something else!

Happy Birthday to the English singer, piano player and guitarist Ian Hunter, who is turning 86 today! He joined a promising young band as lead singer in 1969, just when they changed their name to Mott the Hoople. The band then had quite a bit of success in the first half of the 1970’s, charting with several songs, the highest being All the Young Dudes, which peaked at number 3 in the UK.
Ian Hunter quit Mott in late 1974 to pursue a solo career, which never reached the heights of Mott. Still he had some considerable success during the latter part of the 70’s and the 80’s. As music trends changed, his career became more low key. But Ian Hunter kept going. He stopped touring in 2019, but his latest record was released as late as last year. Once again, Happy Birthday Ian Hunter

An hour and a half ago , I got home from the funeral of one of my best, oldest and dearest friends. He loved music too, and among his favourites were what he called “the three big H’s”. By that he meant Alex Harvey, Steve Harley and…Ian Hunter. I dedicate this post to him!! Now rest in peace, old friend. I miss you

What were they called before?
The band was the Doc Thomas Band. They released one album in 1967, which vanished without a trace. I’ve never heard it.

I got a little sentimental here, and I’d like to share a little more. It tends to happen after a funeral for a friend. On of my friend’s biggest favourite songs was the live version of a song by a Norwegian band called Prudence. He told me he used play it on repeat. The lyrics are in Norwegian, so most of you won’t understand it. However, you can all enjoy the excellent guitar solo starting at around 2.20 My friend loved it, I think he even isolated it and played just the solo on repeat. He was a nerd, just like me 
Prudence - Takk te dokk
The title means “Thanks to you”, or perhaps better, just “Thank You”

Oh OK, thank you for answering. For some reason I prefer the original name. I suppose it just sounds more ‘normal’.

A couple of weeks ago I made two posts about great bass playeres with an impressing resume (Leland Sklar and Carl Radle), who still remain mostly unknown, unless you are a nerd who actually read the liner notes on record sleeves.
So I might as well continue this theme, because 99 years ago today Calvin “Fuzz” Jones (1926-2010) was born. He is of course unknown to the general public. However, if you are into blues, you actually might have heard him. He has played bass for blues legends such as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Elmore James and Little Walter.
Furthermore, if any of you remember the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers, you have seen Calvin Jones on screen. In the scene where John Lee Hooker sings Boom Boom in the street, he is the bass player. In the end of the scene, he is standing right next to John Lee Hooker. So here’s to Calvin “Fuzz” Jones memory
