Of all the versions, it's the one most likely to have made Johnny and June go "what the hell was THAT?"J Neo Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113077457194694608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732591742384495295.post-50430927319219352062009-08-15T12:18:20.361-07:002009-08-15T12:18:20.361-07:00That's their feedback drenched version of Ring...That's their feedback drenched version of Ring of Fire.IanSchultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379379225465820642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732591742384495295.post-22857318244908462172009-08-15T12:17:21.493-07:002009-08-15T12:17:21.493-07:00Ya, Stan is a good friend of mine, i'm gonna t...Ya, Stan is a good friend of mine, i'm gonna try to get a gig for him up in Leeds early next year.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f5nUqko3UgIanSchultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379379225465820642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732591742384495295.post-83239044075847537152009-08-15T06:52:15.254-07:002009-08-15T06:52:15.254-07:00You know Stan Ridgway?

Not only was he the most innovative guitarist of all time (IMHO), but without his brilliant contributions to electric guitar and recording technology there would be no rock 'n roll as we know it today. I have a couple of collections from the height of his career with Mary Ford and never stop marveling at his seemingly limitless ability as a musician and recording engineer. Their sessions were sheer genius, and the multi-tracked vocals of the immensely talented Mary Ford are absolutely beautiful to behold.<br /><br />And that thing about him having his broken arm set so he could still play the guitar is the icing on the cake of his legend. R.I.P. Mr. Paul and thank you for everything!Mod-est Ladsnoreply@blogger.com
