Brad Paisley - "Waitin' on a Woman" Video

.
Click to watch Brad Paisley, Waitin' on a Woman.

Even though Brad Paisley's album Time Well Wasted(Arista, 2005) is already three years old, he just released a new video for the song "Waitin' on a Woman" featuring Andy Griffith. Use the above link to have a look. The song as it appears on the album is just Brad Paisley, but in the video, Griffith adds his voice to some of the lyrics, which is a nice and poignant touch. Anyone who grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show or Matlock can't help but be touched by his role in this video; now at age 82 he's the grandpaw or great-grandpaw we'd all like to have, or at least he is in this video. You go Anj!

I'd be remiss if I didn't also point out that this is a great sounding song with a nifty guitar solo and a classic sappy country ending. This seemed like a good time to go back and check out Time Well Wasted,the title track being another candidate for the "songs that are described by their title" mix. The album is superbly produced and consists of about half super-serious love songs, and half the sort of country songs with lyrics that veer from sappy to humorous or both at once, all of which makes country radio a better place.

Paisley is one hell of guitarist, and this talent will be featured front and center on Paisley's next album, Play, due November 4th on Arista Nashville. Play will be a mostly instrumental record centering on Paisley's guitar work, coupled with guest artists such as B.B. King, Vince Gill, and Keith Urban, including the cleverly titled "Cluster Pluck" in which Paisley jams with seven other guitar players. There's be a Les Paul tribute and a shared vocal with B.B. King on "Let the Good Times Roll".


Time Well Wasted is currently $8.99 at Amazon.

Remembering the Main Point, 1964 - 1981

WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #5 Begining in 1964, The Main Point in Bryn Mawr provided the Philadelphia area with one of its most enjoyable venues for live music. Although it started as a folk based coffeehouse, all styles of music were presented over the years. Financial problems continually plagued the Main Point, and in spite of frequent benefit shows by artists who loved the place as much as the audience, the club finally closed in 1981. The following brief history is contained in an obituary of Jeanette O. Campbell, one of the founders and owners of the Main Point who died on October 22, 2006, written by Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer Sally A. Downey as reprinted on the Save Ardmore Coalition website. Jeanette Orndoff Campbell, 89, former owner of the Main Point, a music hall in Bryn Mawr where young talents including Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor were introduced to local audiences, died of complications from hip surgery Oct. 22 at Stap

Cream and Blind Faith at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, 1968 & 1969

WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #3 (L-R) Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, & Eric Clapton I could not have foreseen it at the time, but looking back on a concert going history now entering it's fifth decade, my first three concerts were absolutely formative in the development of the music obsession that has driven life as we know it from that point forward. Attending a rock concert pre drivers license was no small feat, that I even got to these shows is the first indication that I knew I was onto something even if I couldn't quite explain it. I've already detailed my first concert (The Beatles at JFK Stadium) in my MMMM#1 . My second and third concerts took place at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, they were less than a year apart, and due to the fact that concerts never end at the time predicted, these concert experiences both ended with a very angry driver stuck waiting in the car outside the venue until the last encore had finished. I shot both concerts with the same starter

And We Danced - Filming the Hooters Video, 7/27/85

Image
WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #4 "And We Danced" (picture sleeve above) was released in 1985 as the second single from the album, Nervous Night , the Hooters' major label debut for Columbia Records. Here's the video. The call went out to the Hooters' mailing list the last week of July 1985 that an audience with cars would be needed on the coming Saturday for a video shoot. Participants would report to the Exton Drive-In by late morning and be prepared to stay all day until after dark. This stage set, early in the day, was a warm-up for the crowd and probably a dry run for the production team for the night-time performance to be filmed later. The banner backdrop does not appear in the video. Some of the antique and custom cars that were on hand for the shoot. The production crew prepares the ticket booth for its shot.
