China Sky - S/T (Bobby Ingram Before Molly Hatchet after Danny Joe Brown)

1. Turn On The Night
2. The Glory
3. Some Kind of Miracle
4. Winner Takes It All
5. All The Time
6. Only the Young
7. Reckless Days.
8. Lost In Your Love
9. Dancing on The Edge
10. The Last Romantic Warrior


O.K. I'm just gonna say that the only reason I'm posting this is because of the relationship to Molly Hatchet and The Danny Joe Brown Band. Because track 10 should tell you what kind of album this is. It sounds as if there trying to write the score for the next Karate Kid. Damn cocaine was a hell of a drug in the 80's and the music reflects that 100% I mean Bobby lets loose a few rips but the songwriteing was for sure ment for pop radio of the time - Skynfan

TRAVIS WAMMACK - TRAVIS WAMMACK (1972 Fame Studio's)

TRAVIS WAMMACK (LP)
Be Good / How Can I Tell You / Put On Your Shoes And Walk / You Better Move On / Funk #49 / You Are My Sunshine / Whatever Turns You On / Darling You're All That I Had / Slip Away / I Don't Really Want You

A guitarist, singer, and young instrumental genius from Memphis who cut his first record at the tender age of twelve, Travis Wammack is one of the great unheralded guitarists of rock & roll. A contemporary of Lonnie Mack, Wammack was simply the fastest guitar player in a town bursting at the seams with great guitarists. By the time he was 17, he appeared on the national charts with "Scratchy," a speed-burner instrumental featuring incredible distortion and dazzling technique. Several incredible singles followed, but none charted. By the late '60s, Wammack had moved into session work at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, playing on countless hits. He continues recording and touring to the present day (recently working as musical director for Little Richard), his hot and speedy guitar chops intact. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Barry Lee Harwoods' comments about the Live Alias Recording

Howdy Folks I e-mailed Barry Lee to see what he had to say about whether or not he was on the recording and this was his reply. -Skynfan

This is Barrylee Harwood - thanks so much for the e-mail and question - I did not play on this recording - during this period of time the newly formed Rossington Collins Band was writing/rehearsing - I did (as you know) play on the Alias album and although I haven't heard the show you're talking about I'm assuming that whoever played guitar was copying the parts I played on the record???? I dunno! Maybe that's why it sounds like me.

I'm not sure about Skip - he may have worked with Jimmy in "Black Bear Angel" - you should contact him or Dorman for all the facts so that info doesn't get off track!

I'm currently in the studio with my new band CHARIOT - working on the debut album - if you still get tingles when you hear "the old stuff", you're gonna flip out when you hear what's comin' down the pike from me!

Hope this helps you.

Loose Change - 12 -31-89 (Chris Hicks From The Outlaws)

1. The Wheel
2. Never Know Why
3. Keep It Together
4. Love Is On The Line
5. Nobody knows




What was your first big break in music?

My first taste of the real thing was a band I had together called Loose Change. That was high school buddies that had a band that had changed faces and names and all that a few times through the years, but really a lot of the same guys played together for a long time. We started doing original music as well as some covers to get into the clubs and all. We started opening for bands, like Charlie Daniels, and The Atlanta Rhythm Section, and The Outlaws. We were kind of the hot band in town, so we always got the opening ticket for a few years, as well as killing them in the the clubs. We built us a little reputation and went to Muscle Shoals, Alan Walden was our manager then, and we recorded our album. We actually got an album on vinyl before they stopped doing that. It was released regionally and did okay, it didnít break no records but it did okay. We did a single that was going to be on our second album, by this time we were doing some pretty good shows, playing The Cotton Club in Atlanta and things like that. The song was used in a Jim Varney movie called ìFast Foods.î That gave us a little spark and we got a little air play. It was called ìLove is On the Line.î It wasnít an ìErnestî movie, but heís always the same type of character. It was a college type movie. And 96 Rock jumped on us and played us because of that.

So we opened for The Outlaws a bunch at that time. At the time, Alan was also Hughieís (Thomasson) publisher, so I had known Hughie for a few years during this time and weíd get together and jam, and Iíd sit in with The Outlaws. And when weíd go down to Muscle Shoals to record, Hughie and them would be down there a lot too, so I would play on some of their tracks and theyíd play on some of mine, mainly Hughie. We got to be big buddies and everything, which eventually lead to him asking me to join The Outlaws in 1989.

So we hooked up, and I still did a few dates that year with my band while playing with The Outlaws, and then we got going real well with The Outlaws and I ended up having to dissolve my band. I stayed with The Outlaws full time right up until the time I joined Marshall Tucker, really. I guess that was 1996, but we had kind of dissolved The Outlaws the year before that when Hughie joined Lynyrd Skynyrd. But weíre still going to do a couple of more records. - Taken From an interview from Gritz Magazine.

A Request From Skynfan

I am Looking for any recorded material from Ruby Starr and Blackfoot!!!! Any Help You Guys Could Give Would Be Appreciated.

2. Rickey Medlocke (vocals / guitar), Charlie Hargrett (guitar), Greg T. Walker (bass), Jakson Spires (drums)

In 1977 BLACKFOOT approached BLACK OAK ARKANSAS manager Butch Stone for representation. Although Stone could not oblige he did hook the band up with solo artist and ex-BLACK OAK ARKANSAS singer RUBY STARR (real name Connie Mierzwiac). The band, now billed RUBY STARR AND BLACKFOOT, toured America throughout late 1977. BLACKFOOT would generally open the show before performing a second set with Starr singing. In 1978 Starr fell in love with guitarist Fred Hodnik from a guesting band LUCY GREY and quit to remould this band into GREY STAR.

The Blue Lords - 3 song EP.

Based out of Norfolk, Virginia this hard driving band makes no bones about where their roots lie. With a blistering twin-guitar attack, coupled with an undeniable authenticity, the BLUE LORDS have parlayed their rollicking, hell-raisin' sounds into appearances with such notable acts as: ZZ TOP, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, 38 SPECIAL, DOOBIE BROTHERS, CHARLIE DANIELS, PETER FRAMPTON, THE OUTLAWS, BLACKFOOT, PAT TRAVERS, BLUE OYSTER CULT, KANSAS, JOHNNY WINTER, MOLLY HATCHET, STEPPENWOLF, & JEFFERSON STARSHIP, among others.

Consistently entertaining, with a healthy dose of humor, the BLUE LORDS have caused legions of people to exclaim, "Damn, I didn't think there were any bands like this left!" 1. Open House 2. Southbound Train 3. Walk The Walk This is a friend of mine's band. I met him while he was playing in Jimmie Van Zant's Band. He was a real good friend of Alan Collins and can kick some ass on guitar. This Guy is the real deal and this is a kick ass band. - Skynfan Check Out There Website http://www.bluelordsband.com/ Tony With Allen Collins http://sharebee.com/29b3677b

From Wikipedia:
Travis Wammack (born 1946) is an American rock and roll guitarist from Memphis, Tennessee. A child prodigy, Wammack's first record was issued when he was twelve years old, and at 17 he hit the American charts with "Scratchy", an instrumental which peaked at #80 in 1964. Wammack got work recording at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals in the 1960s, and in 1975 released a solo album which generated two hits in the US, "Easy Evil" (#72) and "Love Being Your Fool" (#38). Wammack never stopped performing, working in the 1990s with Little Richard among others.

From Allmusic:
A guitarist, singer, and young instrumental genius from Memphis who cut his first record at the tender age of twelve, Travis Wammack is one of the great unheralded guitarists of rock & roll. A contemporary of Lonnie Mack, Wammack was simply the fastest guitar player in a town bursting at the seams with great guitarists. By the time he was 17, he appeared on the national charts with "Scratchy," a speed-burner instrumental featuring incredible distortion and dazzling technique. Several incredible singles followed, but none charted. By the late '60s, Wammack had moved into session work at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, playing on countless hits. He continues recording and touring to the present day (recently working as musical director for Little Richard), his hot and speedy guitar chops


Travis Wammack is mostly known for his work in the 60's, instrumentals with fiery guitarworks and r&b infused rock. But he's made two great southern rock albums during the 70's. Both very much r&b influenced and both very much worth getting your hands on. The first (Travis Wammack on Fame 1972) is the most rare. It's a very fine record. But the second album (Not For Sale on Capricorn 1975), though still fairly easy to find as a used album, is the better of the two. Easily one of my all time favorite southern rock albums of the 70's. -Skydog
