Joe Ely & David Grissom - "Behind the Bamboo Shade"

I uploaded a clip of David Grissom some time ago and it got a lot of hit's so here's some more.

Younger viewers may find these hairstyles disturbing. In fact this hairstyle was fairly common in the 1980's. It was known as the "Mullet" , or the "Camino Headrest".

Interesting guitar style too. Goes well with the barnetts.

Yes looking back, that's quite a weird percussive style Grissom's using on this number. I guess he was trying something a little different that's all. It would have been all too easy to stray into "Marty Robbins" territory with a song like this.

Hi, very nice. In Sweden those hairstyles were called "ice-hockey style"

Yep, business at the front, "party out at the back".

A friend of mine did a great cover of this song. He had a deaf dog that would always lay in front of my amp when we practiced. My first audience! Bamboo Shade made me an instant Ely fan.

His style here is very close the explosive sound he got doing the recording of "Dallas" Live at liberty Lunch."

I saw Ely and Grissom about 30 years ago at parkers nightclub in seattle on aurora.  I have never forgotten the amazing guitar work of Grissom!!

The hairstyles are wack, but the music is amazing. Thanks again for the upload! Ely has aged like a fine wine. In my opinion his voice is better today.
