I thought Johnny Spaminato took Big Al's chair perfectly well.

With all respect to Big Al, I just don't miss him, not with Scott taking over. Casey McDonough is an unbelievable vocalist and utility man. The band's setlists have become even more diverse, if that is even possible. As for Tom Ardolino, you will get no argument from this drummer. He was special, for sure. But he is no longer with us, so now what? Terry is doing nothing "shameful," as someone mentioned over on my blog. It's a great band with every bit of an NRBQ vibe that you once got in 1978. NO reason to sit this out.

The Long Ryders' version is good, but to my mind not as good as the original. I confess to not having heard the Tokyo version -- now I'm going to have to try to track it down. <br /><br />MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-83418497109519672602018-01-10T15:49:56.426-05:002018-01-10T15:49:56.426-05:00Unfortunately, what is called "NRBQ" the...Unfortunately, what is called "NRBQ" these days is just Terry Adams and a bunch of guys. Without the great Tom Ardolino (not to mention Joey and Al) it's just not the same.petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-39799304664279787392018-01-10T14:01:28.607-05:002018-01-10T14:01:28.607-05:00All of the Long Ryders' albums are in your whe...All of the Long Ryders' albums are in your wheelhouse, Steve. Trivia - the cover of their first album, "Native Sons," was intended as an homage to the unreleased Buffalo Springfield album, "Stampede." Amazon has one of their live sets on "Live from London" available for free streaming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
