The true shame here...this band never got any serious radio play until Joey & Death of a Texas Ladies Man was out...an absolute joke! One of the best live bands ever...johnette, James and company deserve better.
@issofunky. Totally agree. He was one of the few of his era that transcended the copycat trend and developed his own sound... and man does the guy cut it live!
The synergy between her voice and his guitar never ceases to amaze me. Even the bad songs are good. How often have you had an album where ALL the songs were good? And they made three. Amazing. (not so fond of 'Walking in London.')
Johnette should know that she is a gift to the world of music. Her talent was never really respected for what it is. She'll always be the best at what she does and her music will "prevail" in the end... good stuff indeed...
I've always considered Johnette to be a poet....she's way beyond a song writer...and Jim's guitar fits her mood and voice... They were a great band and overlooked by most people.....I feel lucky to be a fan....they are fantastic! C.B. is one of those bands that will be with me for life.....I wish that they would've had the success they deserve!!!
Well put - as I feel the same way. These people "were" seriously talented as they had that chemistry... and it would be nice to see them back together in unison.
@DeLaFey1777 i agree. most underated band and guitarist of this era.this solo is in my top ten all time. most people can't get that kinda tone. awsome!!!!!!
I agree with you there mate. not many musicians out there that you can say oh thats such and such just by listening to the way they play. but mankey is in a class by himself. up there with uli and hendrix in my humble opinion. and johnette... now thats a women. cheers
Jim is one of the greatest guitarists ever....his low haunting sound is soooo unique. Anything those 2 did together was amazing! I miss them "together". :(

one of the things i always respected about james mankey was the fact that he stayed with the same effect because that was HIS trademark.
johnette has such an amazing voice, and she's fucking hot!!!!!

This is a soundtrack from a surf movie called Billabong Pump. Perfect waves peeling off and good surfing rocking.

Jim is one of the ALL time MOST underrated players......go back and just TRY to cop that tone....good luck to you.
none of it's flashy are fast.....just GREAT tone and calm cool delivery with the most unique guitar tone from the era.
I met them in Prov. R.I. one of the best shows I've ever seen.
