I was gonna post a piece by Lyle Lovett, but I realized that one of the members of Lyle Lovett's Large Band, for quite a few years, has been Sweet Pea Atkinson, a man whom I firmly believe possesses one of the greatest set of vocal chords on the planet. This is a recent recording produced by Don Was. Sweet Pea has been recording with Was since the early 1980's. The harmonica player is David Was. The backing vocals are by members of Detroit's Black Bottom Collective and His Excellency, Sir Harry Bowen. Sweet Pea is one of the hardest working men in the business and the question is, why, oh why, doesn't Sweet Pea Atkinson have the fame he truly deserves?
And why is Don Was' 1997 Musical/Movie collaboration with Francis Ford Coppola,
Forever's A Long, Long Time so hard to find?
I have a copy, but I can't play the video because it is encoded for Mac OS9...
It was a very interesting piece starring Sweet Pea and Kris Kristofferson...
The music was a fusion of Herbie Hancock keyboards, Techno Rock and the songs of of Hank Williams. The surprise guest vocalist was Merle Haggard....
