Joanne Shaw Taylor and Bernie Marsden

EricTheWeary

Not long come out the gig in Birmingham, trying not to look like a potential mugging victim at the train station.
That was properly good.
JST lacks a bit of stage craft mebbe ( especially in contrast to Bernie) but some serious blues chops and great tone ( better than Bernie's tonight - drop that PRS amp dude, I've heard you better through Marshalls).
Apparently she's back there on 16/12/14 for a BBC Xmas thing? Will have to look it up.
You can take the girl out of Birmingham but you can't take the,etc...

Quite a few clips on YouTube now. I know I'm just amusing myself here but I'll park this clip here anyway.

I will have to watch this later. Definitely interested. I really like JST's stuff. I got Diamonds in the Dirt on iTunes donkeys ago when it came out (well, it wasn't that many years but you know what I mean). She's a bit good is ol' Jo...

Not my clips on YouTube BTW, might look like I'd implied that. Properly impressive, lot of funky chops too.

That's still a great song, but needs DC to sing it.

I get the impression David's voice is pretty much shot these days. Bernie is a great on stage character, pity he isn't doing a full band tour.

I'd never listened to Joanne Shaw Taylor until recently, for some reason I was under the impression she was some kind of child prodigy novelty act.... no idea where I got that from. 

Anyway, I finally listened to one of her albums and liked it more than most blues-rock I've heard recently.  I'll watch the YouTube clip later.

I nearly went to see them at Stockton Arc ... I didn't

Me too - I was busy that night.

I've watched that clip now.  Takes me back!  I'm not really a Whitesnake fan any more, but I bought Lovehunter on the day it was released back in 1979 and that was my favourite track.

Just listening to "The Dirty Truth" (JST's new album) on Spotify now. I'm gonna have to buy it. It's a bit bloody good.
