HOTLINE TO THE UNDERGROUND
BY JOE VIGLIONE
The
Beatles, Steve Keith, Kat Quinn, Mary Gatchell, Barry Wilson, Cindy Latin
BEATLES
54
hours of film footage from the Let It Be movie now available on the underground
railroad and nowhere else. Peter Jackson, whose film about World War 1 was
amazing, especially for the post script on how Jackson resurrected so much damaged
film. Here Paul McCartney tells Howard
Stern on the air that: “It is great,” a video floating out there on YouTube has
a tremendous take on the song “Get Back.”
It’s a tease, for sure, but a good tease. While Dylan and the Velvet Underground
unload their vaults, the Beatles have been very precise, too precise, actually,
with their catalog. But hasn’t it
occurred to McCartney, Jackson and Howard Stern that the rabid Beatles fan base
would be happy to sit through all 54 hours…two and a quarter days…I mean, c’mon,
what a festival that would be.
BARRY
WILSON dot Org will lead you to a number of platforms where you can hear Wilson’s
heartfelt and perfectly played music. It’s
his interpretation which is most stellar, just give a listen to the first track
on the Willow Tree which I tuned in to on Spotify. That
leadoff track is an amazing reworking of the John Denver classic “Take Me Home,
Country Roads.” It’s uptempo and
driving, only wish Denver were hear to give it a listen. http://www.barrywilson.org/
CINDY
LATIN: While you are on Spotify listen
to a bit of a change in direction for Cindy Latin with “What Do I Do.” Cindy’s elegant voice plays over marvelous
instrumentation, adult pop with integrity in lyric, presentation and
production.
STEVE
KEITH: From Cindy’s “What to Do” to Keith reinventing Tina Turner’s “What’s
Love Got To Do With It.” As interesting
as Barry Wilson’s revival of a John Denver composition, Steve Keith’s www.baselines.com always has great
material. It features @therealmadamez on vocals and @turbomaus on guitars with Keith on
production and all the other instruments.
One could do a complete radio show of just covers and re-explore the
melodies and grooves that are still the soundtrack to our lives.
KAT QUINN writes
us about her song “I Could Use a New New Year” - Let's celebrate this beautiful
new beginning with a brand new song, "I Could Use a New Year."
Stream and save it on Spotify, find it at Apple Music, or your
favorite music platform. I
had fun making this with my dear friend, Pablo Sebastian :) Also,
I had the pleasure of writing and singing this song for a new lifetime trailer:
New commercial featuring my song The Legend!!
Had a blast making this one with @hvtchmusic! Huge thanks to @lifetimemovies
for the great spot. Be sure to tune in for the Legends of a Lifetime!! (Song is
currently unreleased) …to which we say
CONGRATS, Kat, with “The Legend.” “I
Could Use a New Year” is superb…cutesy 60’s pop that Lesley Gore would adore.
MARY
GATCHELL: has her “You’ve Been On My Mind” on Spotify. It made it’s way up on the platforms –
Soundcloud, YouTube etc. a few Januarys back, but it is still so exciting and
were I to put a music radio show together instead of my all-talk stuff on
Friday nights on ActivateMedia.org I would play all these songs in this column
in a row. World class music with stunning
voices, production and that elusive intangible that makes you want to play ‘em
all repeatedly.
Napua
Davoy has Peter Calo (who has worked with Mary Gatchell) producing a political
song which rocks like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Ohio” from a different
perspective, and a different time decades later. Strong, powerful and effective. Look up “A Liar” on YouTube by Napua Davoy “I pour gasoline upon a fire/Pledge Allegiance
to a liar…to a liar…” https://youtu.be/K9KjQzpSJvQ
Well
the most truthful guy you’ll ever find is my dad and Peter Calo just worked
with us on his album…49 years and four months in the making! The legendary Rob Fraboni (Keith Richards, Stones,
Bob Marley catalog, Dylan’s Planet Waves, Melissa Etheridge, Joe Cocker…on and
on and on) mastered the CD “My Way” by
Salvatore B. Viglione. Recorded in August of 1971 with more
recordings in 1972 and a song engineered in 1986 by Aerosmith guitarist Joe
Perry’s drummer, Joe Pet in Medford, I’m amazed that the tapes held up for half
a century… Listen to the song “Up in Maine” which dad wrote around 1960 and
which we completed on December 8, 2020 at Wellspring Sound. https://tinyurl.com/upinmaine
Yes,
that’s this writer around 9 years of age in the YouTube.
Well,
spring into New Year’s this weekend… send your music to my e mail demodeal {@}yahoo.com
The Demo that Got the Deal radio show and CD series. Next week we’ll discuss the new Bee Gees
documentary film that north shore filmmaker Erik Taros worked on. Erik was also involved in the recent Beatles’
film Eight Days A Week, he’s well known on the Boston scene. We’re also working on CD reviews of Ricky
Byrd (solo, of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts) and Paul McCartney III.
