"Walking Slow" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, released as the initial single from his 1974 classic album, '' Late for the Sky'', however, the single failed to chart. It was also released as a promotional single in the United Kingdom. Reception Stephen Holden, in his November 7, 1974, review of the ''Late for the Sky'' album, called the song "a crisp little rock song." Discussing the song in terms of the narrative progression of the album, Holden said the song celebrated "Browne's newfound domestic stability." ''Cash Box'' said that "bumping and jumping, Jackson walks along supported by twin electric guitars and it seems he is heading straight towards a hit." ''Record World'' said that "Powered by some old-fashioned hand-clappin' and jug blowin', this mighty cut...is right on time." Personnel Professional jug band musician Fritz Richmond is credited with playing jug on the track. * David Lindley: electric slide guitar *Larry Zack: d ...

Songs Written By Jackson Browne
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are oft ...

Slide Guitar
Slide guitar is a technique for playing the guitar that is often used in blues music. It involves playing a guitar while holding a hard object (a slide) against the strings, creating the opportunity for glissando effects and deep vibratos that reflect characteristics of the human singing voice. It typically involves playing the guitar in the traditional position (flat against the body) with the use of a slide fitted on one of the guitarist's fingers. The slide may be a metal or glass tube, such as the neck of a bottle, giving rise to the term bottleneck guitar to describe this type of playing. The strings are typically plucked (not strummed) while the slide is moved over the strings to change the pitch. The guitar may also be placed on the player's lap and played with a hand-held bar ( lap steel guitar). Creating music with a slide of some type has been traced back to African stringed instruments and also to the origin of the steel guitar in Hawaii. Near the beginning of the ...

Jug band music featured homemade or folk-style instruments such as the washboard (used for percussion), a large earthenware jug used as a wind instrument, and a single-string washtub bass. Fritz's first instrument was made using his buddy Tom Stephan's mothers wash tub, Tom's hockey stick and a length of Mrs. Stephan's clothes line. He also used a jug found in the Stephan's basement. This type of music, in England, became known as skiffle music and was played by groups who could not afford electric instruments, such as the Quarrymen, a Liverpool skiffle group that evolved into the Beatles.

It was also decided that Al Schmitt, an engineer on ''For Everyman'', would co-produce to aid in the album being completed on time. The album was completed in six weeks and at half the cost ($50,000) of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These homemade instruments are ordinary objects adapted to or modified for making sound, like the washtub bass, washboard (musical instrument), washboard, spoons (musical instrument), spoons, bones (instrument), bones, stovepipe, jew's harp, and comb and tissue paper. The term 'jug band' is loosely used in referring to ensembles that also incorporate homemade instruments, but those are more accurately referred to as skiffle bands, spasm bands, or juke (or jook) bands (see juke joint) because they do not include a jug player. History Early jug bands were typically made up of African-American vaudeville and medicine show musicians. Beginning in the urban Southern United States, South (namely, Louisville, Kentucky, and Memphis, Tennessee), they played a mixture of blues, ragtime, and jazz. The history of jug bands is related to the origins of the blues, dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
