Seat68 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Jimmy Capps, the session guitarist has died. There are few country music session players that get noticed for their merits, Paul Franklin, maybe James Burton. But Jimmy Capps is one. He played on at least 5 of my all time favourite songs, he was part of the Louvin Brothers band and in his later years, The Oprys house band. He was the guitar on The Gambler and Stand By Your Man. He played with everyone, Dolly, Waylon, Johnny. If they were in country music they worked with Jimmy Capps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seat68 Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2020 Steve Priest of Sweet has died. Are you ready Steve? I saw a couple of incarnations of Sweet from my time working at Butlins on multiple occasions. One did the crowd pleasers and one wanted to be Iron Maiden. Steve Priest featured in neither. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the B-sides of their ChinniChap hits, it was obvious that they wanted to be Deep Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Sweet at The Top Rank in Dale End, before it became The Humming Bird. I was a package show and I really went to see Wizzard's first B/ham gig 'cos I knew the keyboard player. Also, supposedly, on the bill were Mac and Katie Kissoon ... but they didn't turn up !!! Anyway , Sweet were bloomin' excellent; I couldn't believe it - I thought they were just bubble gum. Nope - top rate rock band - did an excellent Who medley . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
