From: Woman, Woman ; Year: 1968; Genre: Rock/Pop Had this one bouncing around my cranium every now and then for the last couple of weeks, so, just now am getting around to picking it. Whilst I knew I had not added this song yet, I kept thinking that I had already done so with this band for another song, but was mistaken. Probably due to some other bands with a Gary as the leader of another "& the" band name. Anyhoo, those who are into older classics or grew up back when this one was on mainstream radio will immediately recognize it. Gary Puckett's soul-filled powerful vocals are one of the most prominent aspects along with the orchestration. Hear Woman, Woman on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: Marcus Miller - Rampage My song pick 2 years ago today: Dead Meadow - This Shaky Hand is Not Mine My song pick 3 years ago today: Hall & Oates - Kiss on My List My song pick 4 years ago today: The Grateful Dead...
I always remember Stuart Hamm for playing those Factor basses. I saw and played around with one in a music store around that time, late 80s I think. I totally fell in love with it, but it cost something like $2K IIRC. No way a poor college kid could afford that, so I stuck with my cheap P copy.
ReplyDeleteThey do have good sound, but personally I've never been a fan of headless guitars or basses; especially Steinbergers.
DeleteIn all honesty in Stuart Hamm's hands any bass would sound awesome in my opinion.
Except my cheap P copy.
DeleteKing of Sleep was such a great album! Must be somewhere here in my house, in one of those moving boxes.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, it's an amazing album.
