AMOS BURKE - Don Nix with Leon Russell (1971)

[msjenjenp]

Long live Tulsa sound then.

[patjepatatje1958]

is this country? Soul? Gosple? A very tasty mix of all genres, I believe... great song!

[ghiafreak62]

@patjepatatje1958 It's the Tulsa sound Google it.

Damn, this is some incredible music. Don and Leon with friends are absolute true gold. These musicians know how to make some incredible down home true music. Reminds me of an old log cabin up in the hills of Tennessee or something where a whole family is just having a good time and makin' some music, sittin' and talkin', singin', eating some good food, drinking some good drink and just being friends and family. Too bad there aren't many gatherings like this in the world anymore!

There's Kathi McDonald in the red dress...right next to Furry Lewis. I was lucky enough to perform and tour with Kathi in the late 90s. She never talked about this time in her life. It is amazing to see these videos now. She is still performing here on the west coast...one of the most energetic human beings I have ever met. :)

JUST FANTASTIC !!! T4P !!!

[Polly6761]

Oh Mr. Don Nix ! What joy you bring to the world !

I have the vinyl Alabama State Troupers. The genius baby of DNix.....

[headwall07]

He must be the model for Robert Shelton's Freewheelin' Frank character in the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

[TheBasenjiman]

Her name is Claudia Linnear

[cowbelltell]

kind of off the subject, but who is the black back up singer, gosh she is so gorgeous

[rocktogo8]

I´ve still got the vinyl of this. Bought it at a truck stop in Tennessee. And, if you can find a copy, read Don´s book, "Road Stories and Recipes"- just excellent!!

[redkelly]

Does anyone know who the black gentleman is that's pictured hanging out throughout these 'Homewood Sessions'? Furry Lewis?

[bloderme]

@redkelly

Yes, that is Furry Lewis. He was also on Iuka. He was on quite a few songs on the "In God We Trust" album. What a great bluesman!

[gardenlady00]

@redkelly I want to know too.  I think I saw an old video where he is a musician too. Can't remeber where.

[judecreek2]

featuring a rather cool piano player/back-up singer by the name of Leon Russell!

[bullysmom74]

@judecreek2 he's the greatest piano player of all times, i think, love him, thank God they finally inducted him into the r&r hall of fame, go Leon. you are the greatest.

[judecreek2]

@bullysmom74 I agree with you completely.

[56BUICKRiviera]

We had a guy named Don Nix at Langendorf,

[raleighsquare]

[cielo27rah]

I love this -

How do ou know when a back-up singer's at your door?

[namluos]

I had a bootleg album of this show on vinyl the year it came out. Wish I still had it. I remember seeing the original show when it was originally broadcast.

[lazymary2379]

OMG!! Does this take you back or what? I absolutly LOVE this!!

[rickanna]

[shigeruf]

Awsome!!!, rare, thanks!!! From Japan

[skinman1967]

[thedeadbeats]

@jwalker277 lol yeah i was thinkin the same thing.. hey does anyone know why this song isnt that popular? ive looked for lyrics.. cant find none... its not in the jukebox at the bar.. maybe the name of it's not 'amos burke'?

[jackdeanisaac]

You can get a glimps of the great Claudia Linnear singing back up, standing next to Don...she is so good !!!!

[kurte1957]

[mdb51]

Although it is almost 40 years on, the sound is still crisp. Is this available on DVD?

[MattHatter]

Oh never mind....I see it's on "In God We Trust."

[MattHatter]

Great song. This is my first time hearing this one.  Is this on a Don Nix album?

[tabber87]

@MattHatter Yeah. It's on Nix's first solo album In God We Trust.

[DORINDA67]

What a great vibe!

[Tdgonline]

The song kinda reminds me of "Take a Load Off Granny" by The Band.

[carusmike]

Claudia Lennear AND Kathi McDonald. Is this heaven? Please more of this session, it is beautiful

[SilvinaBlues]

IS KATHI MCDONALD ANYWHERE?

[Jungleroomstuff]
