i discovered rlj on her 1st appearance on saturday night live. it was actually one of her earliest professional performances. i loved her then, and never stopped.
He is Buzz Feiten, one of the best guitar players ever. The Larsen-Feiten duo backed Rickiee on many tracks on her first 4 albums and were her band on her first tour. They have a unique sound with rythm and melody, not just aimless riffing.
You are right about her enunciating, but I think that's one of her "things" that make her what she is...she kind of drawls out her words with a quirky sneer. When I discovered her (many moons ago...lol) it was HER I liked most, the band was secondary. So I would imagine its either her or the band that's your favorite or both like you commented. Either way, once you hear them, you can't go back, can you? Together they are a team, and you cannot deny that. At least we agree there. :)
Is it Rickee playing Larsen and Feiten or Larsen and Feiten playing Rickee? They both play off each other in this one---if you don't know her-watch this one-a good way to see all her eccentric ways---she's a queen!
Not sure how you interprete that, but I always thought RLJ's best tunes were the ones with L&F backing her up, but that may be because I am a L&F fan much more than a RLJ fan. I always had a hard time understanding RLJ, she doesn't enunciate too well.
The awesome Buzz Feiten has a new album just out with Brandon Fields . Type in Feiten Dinwiddie and watch the bonus video track from it .. dedicated to the late great Brother Gene Dinwiddie .
The hands are the key. I realized this when I saw Bloomfield on Chip Monk's SpeakEasy show with Avin Lee. Alvin played a Les Paul and sounded like Alvin (not my favored tone), Bloomfiled picke up the LP, did not touch anything, and......sounded just like Bloomfield with that light, fast touch. It was that that really drilled home "it ain't the equipment, it's the player".
Buzz's moves are like his rhythm playing ... cool as ice ! What a lucky girl Rickie was to have this band ! Is that Reggie McBride on bass .. played with Stevie Wonder on some of his mid period greats .. fabulous .
Yes, it is Reggie McBride. Buzz does move while playing, I remember him on David Letterman sitting in with the Paul Schafer band for about a month and whenever he played he was all movement. That was a TV talk show and you only got to hear the band on the fade in & outs to commercials (adverts)but it was cool. No VHS recorders out yet so I couldn't tape it unfortunatley
Who is that on Sax?

I think the drummer is Art Rodriguez. He played with Buzz and Neil in a band called Full Moon way back when.
