Who's up?
Totally understand. Thanks.Thanks, Mr. Bryant, but the commish has called the draft. We're all sensitive right now. Tragedy hurts all of us. We were doing this out of music love. Thanks again. I also vented yesterday out of frustration. I'd been to an amphitheater on Sunday and could have been one of those people. (I was in San Diego). It's just gobsmacking, and sad.

Yeah, something like that. Commish called it. That's sorta it for me. Pick at your leisure.So we are back but we aren't finishing?
9.xx Glen Campbell - Guitar - "In My Arms"
Another great who left us this year. I remember that I posted he sang like an angel and played guitar to beat the devil and I can't think of a better line now.
He did a ton of West Coast session work before becoming a star of music, film and TV. Most of it went uncredited. He also wasn't given a lot of space to flex his guitar chops when he became a pop and country star. But he was a bad### picker. An instrumental version of the William Tell Overture was a staple of his live act. It's cheesy but shows off his instrumental prowess.
"In My Arms" was recorded when Campbell was in his mid-70s and suffering for Alzheimer's. It's a cover of a Teddy Thompson song that would have been a hit in a different universe. **** Dale and Brian Setzer have guest spots but the amazing solo is definitely Glen's. There's a live version on YouTube as well but the studio version is where to click first.
FYI.I'm gonna take Muddy Waters as my rhythm guitar in the 9th.
Rollin' Stone is the song.
Nice. Didn't even cross my mind and I have a member of his early crew dialed in for my scrappers. I even read his name looking at that crew.Eephus said:I'm posting this because it was cached in my reply box but I'm going to leave my last two slots unfilled.
I always intended this draft to be a quickie while we thought about the next one. So I'm moving on to that.

There he is. Surprised he didn't go soon after Duck. That rhythm section, whew. That's a snipe that completely changes the direction of my band, and one of two I expected. Curious about the other "no brainer" I'm looking at. There's probably dozens, I just had a couple.Finishing up, I'll post links to song selections later.

sunnava... I kept thinking about buckley (and his dad, and nick drake).. and never scribbled down the names. jeff's upper register would've sounded great with my guys.I'll finish up as well then:
Round 10
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley - singer
Round 11
You Must Learn - DJ Scott LaRock (Boogie Down Productions) - rapper/DJ
The only rap music I ever really listened to a lot was the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and BDP/KRS1 in the late 80s/90s (which I loved) - other than that my knowledge is limited to songs here and there.sunnava...

and in my research, I stumbled on larock- even though I liked KRS1 and BDP, never knew about his story or involvement. I really wanted to take him, because I still like and listen to the music- but felt like his rapping was kinda forgettable (even though his production and dj work created the sound I love). he was really the guy I referenced when I made my pick.
Love seeing Buckley taken. I like to listen to his version of Lilac Wine in succession with Nina Simone’s.I'll finish up as well then:

Big fan. David Ruffin was on my short list.For my 11th, I will take falsetto vocalist Eddie Kendricks. I wasn't planning on taking two Temptations in my band, but it worked for them so it can work for me.
Song is "Just My Imagination" (of course)
Denny (Top Tier), David, or even Marc could have also worked in this band.
Didn’t realize you’d taken Gram Parsons, too. What a lineup of singers on your roster!My Band
Vocals: David Bowie / Gram Parsons / Jeff Buckley
Guitar: Jerry Garcia / B.B. King
Keyboards: Gregg Allman
Bass: Bobby Sheehan
Drums: Butch Trucks
Saxophone: Bobby Keys
Rapper/DJ: DJ Scott LaRock
Songwriter: Warren Zevon
Plus Gregg and B.B. can belt some out as well.Didn’t realize you’d taken Gram Parsons, too. What a lineup of singers on your roster!
fwiw, I have the same white-guy roster of rap... but I also liked a handful of early 90s outfits: black sheep, pharcyde, poor righteous teachers, guru and jazmattaz and of course wu tan. I think you'd be safe listening to any of that stuff (or brand new heavies' heavy rhyme experience).The only rap music I ever really listened to a lot was the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and BDP/KRS1 in the late 80s/90s (which I loved) - other than that my knowledge is limited to songs here and there.
With Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, and Muddy, I figured I had the mid registers covered pretty well already. David would have been a bit repetitive and I was afraid what would happen if Robert Johnson was exposed to cocaine. Although Eddie may have that covered anyway once he quits smoking.Big fan. David Ruffin was on my short list.
Exactly!Is Nate Dogg really a rapper though? Dude was always singing.

Sam Cooke - Singer - A Change is Gonna Come
Such a fantastic songCurtis Mayfield - Songwriter, Move On Up

I would have loved to see where Buckley's talent would have led him. Parts of Sketches for my Sweetheart are great but it's obviously not the way he wanted it to be released. I appreciate his family's efforts to keep his memory (and royalties) alive but some of the posthumous material just isn't very good.plz allow for this yuuuuuge indulgence - i pay homage to the Moz, and this is such a jaw-dropping rendition - that voice![]()

Finally!
I thought about drafting his dadFinally!
I've been following the draft intermittently while traveling and waiting to see his name.
JB was one of the first I thought of when I saw the initial premise---thought he'd go in the first 3-4 rounds. A steal in the 10th. One of my favorite voices.
I started listening to TB a lot for the Genrepalooza draft--I think I drafted 2 from him.I thought about drafting his dad
That's a snipe from my list I didn't expect. I have 3 composer/writers penciled in and not sure Curtis was my pick, but he's a good one.Curtis Mayfield - Songwriter, Move On Up
was in Jersey - trekking back as i type.how and where are you getting to do this?
So many good songwriters across genres - it's really hard to pick. I figured that you can't go wrong with the guy that wrote Superfly.That's a snipe from my list I didn't expect. I have 3 composer/writers penciled in and not sure Curtis was my pick, but he's a good one.
