Rockin' Songs with Piano
Rockin' Songs with Piano
Does anyone else really enjoy a strong piano in a rockin' song?
I've been listening to and trying to find more of this sound.
I'm a big fan of The Jim Jones Revue and of course Jerry Lee Lewis.
I love the song "From a Buick 6" by Gary US Bonds and I feel this is the main reason why "Julie's Been Working for the Drug" is one of my Clash favorites.

Hello,
Pretty much this whole album rocks (or boogie woogies - the musicians here will classify this better than I).

Remember getting the dvd "Rockin Pianos" a few years back with Jerry Lee, Fats & Ray Charles in concert together. Absolutely brilliant stuff. One of my favourite music things ever.

Charlie Rich is pretty great. Also Sonny Burgess.

Always loved this fucked up Zeppelin song:
Featuring Ian Stewart of The Stones who has plenty of great contributions to that band.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Mojo Nixon's old bamd the Toadliquors had a great piano player Pete "Wet Dawg" Godon. Checkout the album Mojo did with Jello Biafra, great piano on there.

It seems like it was a more prevalent in the 50's. Which is a shame because as much as I like the Jim Jones Revue, even he kinda changed musical direction with Jim Jones and The Righteous Mind.

I've been Mott obsessed lately, "All the Way From Memphis" fits here. "Editions of You" from Roxy Music is a great one.

Definitely a lot more of a prominent instrument back then.

Agreed and me being a teenager in the New Wave 80's with keyboards, I missed out. LOLMarky Dread wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 2:52pmDefinitely a lot more of a prominent instrument back then.
In my advancing old age, my music has become a lot more eclectic.
