Long time.
(04:49):
Never enough. Sam, Lightning Hopkins, just an incredible blues player,
the late, great Lightning Hopkins, one of the greatest performances that I've heard him do.
I'm a big fan of Lightning Hopkins, and a lot of my earlier blues compositions
and blues interpretations are...
I've been told and later learned, actually, interesting stories that are very
(05:12):
reminiscent of that Lightning Hopkins style, where you are playing the melody
and the rhythm and the bass all at the same time on the guitar.
An incredible player, Lytton Hopkins.
And it's just an honor and a pleasure to be able to present that to you here on The Andy Kimmel Show.
That's what you're listening to right now, the best of singer-songwriters from
the Cajun folk blues, Zydeco, bluegrass world, singer-songwriters.
(05:36):
And we don't get to every style of every music as much as we'd like to on this
hour program, this hour presentation.
But that's what we cover. And we also feature your music as well when we can.
And if you're interested in having your music be part of our programming,

It would be a pleasure to have you on board.
You know, it's been a real busy month. We haven't done this show,
and now I'm thinking about it in quite a while and still kind of getting over
the experience I had this last month in January, mid-January, at the NAMM show.
N-A-M-M. It is the largest music industry show in the world. That's incredible.
(06:19):
Over 1,500 manufacturers, distributors, agents, builders relating to the music industry.
And over 3,500 products exhibited and showcased.
Just an amazing, amazing conference, showcase of musicians, concerts,
bands, bands, networking, amazing seminars and educational sessions that go
(06:39):
on throughout the entire four-day conference.
And I got to meet quite a few people there. I was also there on the day before
the conference opened from here at the Andy Kimball Show and got to interview some fine,
builders, the manufacturers and representatives of those companies,
and look forward to doing so again next January.
Looking forward to also they're having an event in July, an educational I'll
(07:02):
talk to you about that as we get closer in, but we'll talk about the next gen,
the next event sponsored by the NAMM organization.
If you are a musician or in any way relating to the music industry and what
you do, I highly advise that you join NAMM.
And this past year, for the first time, they opened it to the public,
which they've never done before. You had to be in the industry.
(07:24):
And if you join NAMM, they also, including in your membership,
included in your membership rather, was a pass to the show.
Incredible event. We'll talk about it some more, I'm sure, and actually preview
some of the talents, some of the musicians that we saw there this past January
on this show in upcoming episodes.
But in the meantime, let's talk about this episode and play Love Has No Pride
(07:46):
by Bonnie Raitt Live, introduced by the late David Crosby.
I'd like to introduce to you my favorite singer in the world,
and I'm totally serious.
Is she there? Miss Bonnie Raitt.
David, I love you. Here we are 30 years later after being together on the No Nuke stage.
(08:10):
So proud to be here tonight, part of this history. They asked me to sing this
song with them and I said anything for you guys.
Music.
(15:32):
That was Dale and Bradley with the Tom Petty classic, I Won't Back Down,
preceded by Bonnie Raitt, Love Has No Pride. It's a great, great song.
And I hope everybody's doing well. I hope you're all getting out there and supporting
live local music wherever you might be in the world, whenever possible.
(15:53):
That's really how we all in the industry survive, really, by playing concerts
and having you all come out and let us share the experience together.
It's a wonderful thing to be able to do if you're able to make that happen in your life.
And we couldn't do it without you folks who are so generous with your time and
hard-earned dollars to support music, however you might do that.
(16:17):
And now we're going to hear from a Canadian singer-songwriter,
and his name is Dave Gunning. And the tune is called These Hands.
I kind of like that song because I remember playing guitar a while back on stage,
and I started playing guitar when I was seven or eight years old.
And I was a jet pilot for a while, you know, a flight instructor,
and I was involved in a business for a while that did real well,
(16:38):
sailing yachts, and I'd do it all with my hands.
And this song is called These Hands, and it was recorded at the Stan Rogers
Festival, and this is Dave Gunning.
Music.
(19:45):
I want to sing it from my heart. I want to hear it in the wind.
Music.
(21:43):
Dave Gunning, These Hands, recorded in 2012 at the Stan Rogers Fest in Canada.
Great singer-songwriter, just really terrific. Doesn't get down to the U.S.
That often, but he does tour occasionally.
Hey, one of my mentors, going back to the early 90s, a guy named Chris Mither,
he's going to come out with his 20th album on May 3rd.
(22:07):
Kind of a New Orleans feel to this one. And what I'm going to do is give you a preview of that album.
And many of you might not have ever heard of Chris Smither.
He started his career back in the 60s, actually, and been around just a real
long time doing what he does.
And he does it so well with his guitar, his tap and choose, and his songs.
Just a true wordsmith with his lyrics. Just an incredible songwriter, incredible musician.
(22:31):
One of my favorites, and of course, as I said, a mentor in the early stages of my career.
20th album's coming out May 3rd. And it's got kind of a New Orleans flavor to
it From what I understand,
New Orleans was Chris Smith's birthplace And he eventually ended up in Boston
(22:51):
And became part of that singer-songwriter scene early on Greatly inspired by
Eric Von Schmidt at the time.
And let's take a preview of Chris's upcoming album By listening to an advanced
single we have here called Down in the Tributo It features also David Goody, David Goodrich.
(23:12):
He's been producing Chris Mither for several years now on several projects.
And also Rusty Bell is going to be singing backup vocals on this tune.
Which is called Down in the Troubadou.
Is that how you pronounce it? I think so. Down in Troubadou.
Chris Mither recorded live, actually, in the studio as it was being recorded
(23:34):
for the upcoming album. Great tune. Take a listen. Chris Mither.
Music.
(31:12):
And also a tune from his earlier album called I'm a Stranger Too.
It was also recorded live, this particular version of it, The Power Room Sessions
with Rusty Bell and also David Goodrich.
And a great song. Leave the light on, Chris Smither. And check out his new album
(31:33):
coming out May 3rd. Chris Smither.
Find him on the internet. Smither.com is his website.
Let's move right along here. And I want to hear this song by the late Kate Wolfe.
No longer with us. Died way too early. Amazingly talented singer-songwriter.
This song is called Give Yourself to Love.
(31:55):
Music.
(36:12):
Rolling till i come to wild rose chance again down in fogarty's cold she'll
walk the sandy shore so plain watch the combs rolling till i come to wild rose.
Music.
Chance again down in fogarty's cold.
(36:42):
She cries when I'm away to sea, nags me when I'm with her She'd rather I'd a
government job or get to go on the dole But I love her way to support about
a nose into the channel My selling piece of supper and a bed for me down in Poverty's Bowl,
She will walk the sandy shore so plain, watch the combers roll in Till I come
(37:04):
to a gross chase again down in Poverty's Bowl She'll walk the sandy shore so plain,
watch the combers roll in Till I come to a gross chance again Down in Pogarty's Cove.
(37:25):
Kate Wolfe, give yourself to love. Then we heard Stan Rogers,
and of course we heard Dave Gunning earlier performing a song called These Hands
at the Stan Rogers Festival, which is an annual event celebrating the life of
that amazingly just talented singer-songwriter also so he was no longer with us.
He had died as a result of an airplane accident in 1983, an Air Canada airline accident.
(37:49):
It was landed and caught fire, and he unfortunately did not survive.
He's just wonderful. His brother, Garnett Rogers, is a singer-songwriter as
well who tours frequently, has a number of albums out. We featured Garnett on this show previously.
Check out Garnett Rogers as well.
So I think maybe what we'll do is put in a tune by somebody you all, Probably no.
(38:11):
As a matter of fact, the next two artists on our show here, on the Andy Kimmel
Show, are folks that you are very familiar with, I'm sure.
As a matter of fact, I'm not going to tell you who they are.
We'll just go ahead and play their songs.
Music.
(46:18):
Jerry, good to see you again. Thank you very much for being here.
Thank you. Jerry Garcia.
David, nice to meet you. David Grissman. Sounded wonderful. We'll be right back.
Music.
(53:14):
Very much i gotta run of course we heard the
rolling stones recorded live great song
kind of wanted to get the stones in there my favorite
rock and roll bands one of the more folky kind of songs that you can say sweet
virginia and then we also heard jerry garcia and stephen grossman recorded live
and that was followed by richard chandel live at the strosbury festival over
(53:39):
in UK and that was a song called Arrowhead.
We'll keep the music rolling right along here.
I'm going to do a tune that I recorded and it's a Chris Smither song.
We were talking about Chris and his upcoming new album released May 3rd.
I figured we'll put a couple more Chris Smither songs into the mix during this program.
(54:00):
This tune is called Lonely Time.
Music.
(01:01:39):
Chris Mither, Deed I Do, preceded by Lonely Time, performed by yours truly.
And we're going to put one more tune in the show before we bid you all a good
day, a good evening, good morning, or whatever it might be in the picture time
zone in your corner of the world. This is the Andy Kimball Show.
Thank you all very much for tuning in and enjoying the music.
(01:02:01):
Hope you're enjoying the music with us as we enjoyed presenting it.
And we try to get on here every week.
Usually it's a Wednesday or Thursday show that we actually do live in the studio.
And our live number, by the way, if you want to get in touch with us during
the show, is 515-605-9888.
Email the show at theandykimbleshow at gmail.com. Musicians,
(01:02:23):
please send us your tunes. We'd be glad to incorporate them in our programming.
Give us your contact info. Send us your bio, your upcoming gigs,
where you're playing, and so forth.
And if you give us your phone number we could contact you and potentially do
an interview as well as we have previously on the show.
If you're coming to the Los Angeles area or based in California we can have
(01:02:46):
you come into our LA studios and we can have you perform here live as our guest
which would be a pleasure to be able to do.
So get in touch with us. The Andy Kimball Show at gmail.com This is Killing the Blues.
Music.
(01:08:18):
Killing the Blues. I've got several recordings of that great song written by Roland Sally.
And check YouTube, Spotify, Andy Kimball, Killing the Blues.
It's good. I think to this day, I started playing that song in the early 90s,
and I think it's still one of my most popular requested tunes.
(01:08:41):
It's fun to play. It's a great, great song. There's also, if you're interested
in learning how to play that tune, similar to how I just performed it on the show,
Go to YouTube, Andy Kimball, and I give some coaching, guitar coaching instruction
on how you play in open tuning using that song as a basis.
We're going to finish up today's show with a song called Katie.
(01:09:02):
I think Katie is actually referred to my sister by a guy named Kurt Shephardy out of Philadelphia.
Kurt, God, I don't know what it is about this show, but Kurt is unfortunately also no longer with us.
He's a friend of ours. I was able to join him in the studio for a couple of
his tunes early on, I think 1982 actually, when we recorded this song,
(01:09:24):
not this version of it, and another song called Blow You North Wind.
I wonder if I can find that somewhere and put it on the show.
And Kurt was a great guy, and boy was he a talent, kind of similar to Gordon Lightfoot in a way.
But this is recorded live in his band, I think late 70s, mid 70s,
early 80s, called Hearthstone. And one of the members of that band is still
(01:09:45):
active in the singer-songwriter folk scene in Philadelphia, a guy named Rob Lincoln.
So check Rob out. We might even have him as a guest on the show looking ahead.
I just thought of that. I want to invite Rob to come on the program.
Also involved in the Philadelphia Folk Song Society. And yes,
they're having another Philadelphia Folk Festival in August.
We'll talk about that at a future date as well.
We thought that perhaps they weren't going to be doing it anymore after last year's cancellation.
(01:10:08):
But yes, they are. Yes, they are. So stay tuned for info about the Philadelphia. Folk Festival 2024.
Good evening, folks. We'll see you. This has been a great time.
Thanks for joining us. Here's Kircher Party with Hearthstone.
The song's called Katie.
Music.

you come into our LA studios and we can have you perform here live as our guest
which would be a pleasure to be able to do.
So get in touch with us. The Andy Kimball Show at gmail.com This is Killing the Blues.
Music.
(01:08:18):
Killing the Blues. I've got several recordings of that great song written by Roland Sally.
And check YouTube, Spotify, Andy Kimball, Killing the Blues.
It's good. I think to this day, I started playing that song in the early 90s,
and I think it's still one of my most popular requested tunes.
(01:08:41):
It's fun to play. It's a great, great song. There's also, if you're interested
in learning how to play that tune, similar to how I just performed it on the show,
Go to YouTube, Andy Kimball, and I give some coaching, guitar coaching instruction
on how you play in open tuning using that song as a basis.
We're going to finish up today's show with a song called Katie.
(01:09:02):
I think Katie is actually referred to my sister by a guy named Kurt Shephardy out of Philadelphia.
Kurt, God, I don't know what it is about this show, but Kurt is unfortunately also no longer with us.
He's a friend of ours. I was able to join him in the studio for a couple of
his tunes early on, I think 1982 actually, when we recorded this song,
(01:09:24):
not this version of it, and another song called Blow You North Wind.
I wonder if I can find that somewhere and put it on the show.
And Kurt was a great guy, and boy was he a talent, kind of similar to Gordon Lightfoot in a way.
But this is recorded live in his band, I think late 70s, mid 70s,
early 80s, called Hearthstone. And one of the members of that band is still
(01:09:45):
active in the singer-songwriter folk scene in Philadelphia, a guy named Rob Lincoln.
So check Rob out. We might even have him as a guest on the show looking ahead.
I just thought of that. I want to invite Rob to come on the program.
Also involved in the Philadelphia Folk Song Society. And yes,
they're having another Philadelphia Folk Festival in August.
We'll talk about that at a future date as well.
We thought that perhaps they weren't going to be doing it anymore after last year's cancellation.
(01:10:08):
But yes, they are. Yes, they are. So stay tuned for info about the Philadelphia. Folk Festival 2024.
Good evening, folks. We'll see you. This has been a great time.
Thanks for joining us. Here's Kircher Party with Hearthstone.
The song's called Katie.
