68 is too early to go, but it's no doubt that Buffalo Springfield drummer Dewey Martin left behind one of the most genre-defying drum riffs around -the psychedelic 60s meets 70s anti-war anthem "For What It's Worth" (you can check Martin drumming away to it at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival below). The story goes that Martin also hooked Stephen Stills up with the acid that inspired writing the ...
On the big video screens flanking the 'Mane Stage,' Miranda Lambert turned around to face her rockin' band and wiggled her butt to kick off a raucous version of the Faces' 'Stay With Me.' A few tunes later, she got the whole crowd singing along to Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock and Roll.' In the 1960s or 70s, Lambert would've been an across-the-board rock star, on the cover of Rolling Stone, touring...

The boys gave me some uppers to get my nerve up. Maybe you can hear th...

This is a collaboration with Sonya and Shuie (a UK based duo) and I must say I am blown away by what they did to my solo acoustic cover. They did a beautiful job on this!I sent them my raw microphone recording and they upholstered it with their Buffalo magic as follows:Sonya did the 'morse' electric dub on her Les Paul copy, the handclaps and the high harmony.Shuie played the Fenderbass, lead ...
This is our second collaboration on a Buffalo Springfield song. This song can be found on their first self titled album. The song was written by Neil Young and sung by Richie Furay on the album. I saw Young do this solo acoustic at a Bridge School concert some years back and decided to try a solo acoustic cover. misspopanoche (Sonya and Shuie from London, England) added in additional guitars a...
more youtube goodness, from the monterey pop festival ('67?), Buffalo Springfiled, with David Crosby subbing for Neil Young.Almost like an early version of CSN, with Ritchie Furay instead of Graham Nash. Is this the most influential band ever? If you think about all the subsequent projects these guys spawned, they're like the 49ers coaching staff under Bill Walsh, with Mike Holgren, Dennis Gr...
