Here’s a little someting different, namely a tribute post to a woman who hasn’t done any music at all. Her name is Anita Pallenberg, and she was born 84 years ago today. This Italian/German model and actress is best known as “the muse of The Rolling Stones”. After a two years relationship with Brian Jones, she became Keith Richards girlfriend in 1967. This relationship lasted until 1980 and they got tree children together.
It is said that Anita Pallenberg was the inspiration for several well known Stones song, including She’s A Rainbow, You’ve Got the Silver and Gimme Shelter. That Anita did not do any music at all is not entirely true. She appears on backing vocals on at least one well known Stones song.
Woo woo…
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (1968)
Anita Pallenberg was also a good friend of Marianne Faithfull. After Anita passed away in 2017, at the age of 75, Marianne wrote a song to honour the memory of her long-time friend.

Did you know that Jessie Buckley, an Irish singer and actress and this year’s Oscar and Golden Globe winner for her leading role in the movie Hamnet, is set to become the next - and thus the first female - James Bond 007 actress? 
Fun fact: Her initials are also “JB.”

Prince - Sometimes It Snows In April (1986)
To carry on my “month project”, here’s another one, and it’s a beautiful song. Although it’s a springtime month, sometimes it actually does snow in April. Hopefully not this year, I’ve had enough now of snow now

Allow me to come up with a little something about two American session drummers today. Both has been in high demand, and has recorded with numerous artists trough the years 
First I’d like to pay tribute to James Gadson, who passed away a week ago today at the age of 86. On his most impressive reusume he’s got among others the three kings in blues (Alfred, B.B. and Freddie), several of the biggest Tamla Motown artists, Barbara Streisand, Bette Midler, Paul McCartney, Leonard Cohen, Aretha Franklin and so on and on…
James Gadson has also recorded with more contemporary artists, like Beck, Lana Del Rey, Keith Urban ans Florence & The Machines. To celebrate his memory, here’s a couple of tracks with him on drums. Thank you for the music James, may you be remembered
Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive (1978)
Beck - Say Goodbye (2014)
Next up is Steve Gadd. This one is a little happier, because today is his birthday! He is turning 81! He has recorded with among others Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Steely Dan, David Gilmour and Eric Clapton. In recent years he’s played in a trio called Blicher Hemmer Gadd, and from what I can find, they have been active at least up to quite recently.
Let him play drums on a couple of songs then. Happy Birthday to Steve Gadd

Mickey Jupp - Old Rock ‘n’ Roller (1978)
I forget how many times I′ve been told
I′m an old rock and roller and I’m too old to roll
This album has disappeared from my collection somewhere along the road. However, in the later 1960’s and into the 70’s Mickey Jupp fronted a band called Legend. I actually still got a compilation album with them, and there are some pretty fine songs on it. Like this one…

Your post about The Motors a few days ago sent me down memory lane, and made me revisit some songs it’s been awhile since I’ve listened to. The Motors were good, and I especially remember this one.
The Motors - Dancing the Night Away (1977)
The Motors were formed by Nick Garvey and Andy McMaster, who previously had played together in a band called Ducks Deluxe. From this band came two more musicians that became big on the new wawe scene in the UK in the latter part of the 1970’s.
Ducks Deluxe most classic line-up consisted of Sean Tyla (vocals and guitar), Martin Belmont (lead guitar), Nick Garvey (bass) and Tim Roper (drums). The band’s eponymous 1974 album is a lost gem, which unfortunately has slipped out of my collection.
Ducks Deluxe - Coast To Coast (1974)
After Ducks Deluxe split, Sean Tyla formed Tyla Gang, a good band who did get some merit on the new wave and alternative scene back in those days. The band’s first two albums are pretty good, but long gone from my shelves.
Tyla Gang - Oakland Red (1978)
Martin Belmont went on to become one of the guitarists in Graham Parker’s band The Rumour. And this album I still have 
Graham Parker - Hotel Chambermaid (1976)
Nick Garvey went on to The Motors, the band who triggered this post. As for Tim Roper, he retired from the music business and became a carpenter, while playing in local bands on the side.

I asked the AI. Here’s the answer:
The song “Coast to Coast” by Ducks Deluxe from 1974 is considered a classic of British Pub Rock and actually has a very familiar sounding structure reminiscent of various rock greats.
Here are the most likely candidates for the song that’s stuck in your head:
- Status Quo – “Caroline” or “Roll Over Lay Down”
The greatest similarity is probably to Status Quo. In “Coast to Coast,” Ducks Deluxe utilize a driving boogie-shuffle rhythm and distinctive riffing that could have come almost note for note from Status Quo’s heyday (c. 1972–1975). The driving beat and straightforward rock vibe, in particular, are strongly reminiscent of hits like Caroline.
- Chuck Berry – “Johnny B. Goode” or “Promised Land”
Ducks Deluxe were heavily influenced by American rock ‘n’ roll archetypes. The intro and lyrical structure of “Coast to Coast” (a travelogue) closely resemble the style of Chuck Berry. If the structure sounds familiar, it’s probably due to the classic 12-bar blues form, which Berry also perfected.
- Lou Reed / Velvet Underground – “Sweet Jane”
Some critics draw parallels to the later style of Velvet Underground. Sean Tyla’s vocal style often has a casual, almost spoken quality reminiscent of early Lou Reed.
- Eddie and the Hot Rods – “Get Out of Denver”
In streaming playlists, “Coast to Coast” is often listed alongside “Get Out of Denver” (originally by Bob Seger, made famous by Eddie and the Hot Rods). Both songs share this breathless tempo and the “on the road” theme.
