And consequently raring to go with more of the insouciant postings you've come to expect from this here blog.
Which leads us inexorably to today's business. To wit:
...and the members of a freaking fantastic supergroup you would assemble from currently alive pop/rock/folk/jazz/pop/r&b musicians -- of any gender or age -- would be...???
Discuss.
BTW, kudos to a certain Shady Dame of my acquaintance for giving me the above idea. As usual, she's working cheap, I'll tell you that for free.
And in case you're wondering -- my candidates for such a supergroup would be these guys.
I bring all this up because, as somebody pointed out to me recently, we haven't had any supergroups in what seems like ages, so certainly the time is ripe.
I mean seriously -- can you imagine how great those dudes would be together as a band, even in their current ancient states?
Alrighty then -- who would YOUR choices be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
On the folkier/Americana side: Dylan, Willie Nelson, Billie Strings and Alison Kraus
ReplyDeleteI'm unfamiliar with Billie Strings, but I'll do the research, as todays youngs are wont to say. 😎
DeleteI don't know much about him except that he's an amazing acoustic guitarist.
DeleteBeato interviewed him - his videos show one helluva player
DeleteOff the top of my head -
ReplyDeleteBrad Paisley, Mark Knopfler (dual guitars)
Leland Skylar (Bass) Stuart Copeland (drums) Chuck Leavell (Keyboards)
Paul Rodgers, needs no introduction
Could be a hot one !
DeleteI can't top your original selection. It almost makes too much sense, like, hurry up and do that already!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Andy Partridge, Neil Finn, Elvis Costello on guitars, Joe Jackson on keys, Steve Kilbey on bass, and Pete Thomas on drums
Who sings lead? 😎
DeleteThis one's obvious to me.
ReplyDeleteHave Carl Palmer ( ... since Emerson and Lake have both passed and he seemingly now has nothing better to do) replace the late Neal Peart of Rush ( ... since that band is in need of a new and suitably flashy drummer).
re; Rush - Anika Niles, new drummer
ReplyDeleteSteve down the road your query could be those who passed in your Supergroup
George Porter Jr. – bass, Zigaboo Modeliste – drums, Leo Nocentelli – guitar, Jon Cleary - piano, Ivan Neville - organ, Trombone Shorty - trombone, Branford Marsalis - saxophone
