The Lee Boys & Oteil Burbridge @ Wanee Festival 2011

The Lee Boys & Oteil Burbridge – Going To Glory 4/15/11 Wanee Festival

I told you I was going to hip you to some funky music you wouldn’t otherwise run into! It’s Easter Sunday, so give this gospel music a chance. The Lee Boys are a Sacred Steel group in the style of Robert Randolph & The Family Band. Their chief asset is their pedal steel player, Roosevelt Collier. Just press play and enjoy, keeping in mind that the real heat begins around 7 minutes when Oteil brings a jaw-dropping scat bass solo.

And if you want to go deeper, follow this link to listen to Roosevelt sit in with Dumpstaphunk at Tipitina’s on a version of The Rolling Stones’ Sympathy For The Devil: http://www.archive.org/details/Dumpstaphunk2009-05-03_742.
The Lee Boys have many great live recordings on the Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/TheLeeBoys.

Eric Krasno & Chapter Two 1/29/11 Jamaica @ Govt Mule’s Island Exodus

Eric Krasno & Chapter Two – You Know What I Mean [Jeff Beck cover] (w/ Warren Haynes & Danny Louis) 1/29/11 Jamaica

Eric Krasno & Chapter Two is a side project of Eric Krasno (guitarist for Soulive) along with Adam Deitch (drummer for Lettuce and Break Science)  and Louis Cato on bass. Usually Nigel Hall is on keys, but I guess he couldn’t make the trip to Jamaica.

This jam on Jeff Beck’s “You Know What I Mean” has Warren Haynes on guitar and Danny Louis on keys (both from Govt Mule). The recording is a crisp and clean digital soundboard, and the full recording can be found here: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=542242
