I don't know, but Buddy Emmons played particularly well with Sebastian on "Rainbows All Over Your Blues".

Well that is a good guess & I knew that about Emmons (LATER in the period after Sebastian left) but this is a general question as to who it would have been who played either on the Spoonful's "Revolution 69" album or on any earlier things. A great deal of stuff that sounds like overdubs are obviously Zal on the early records but this last record is a big question mark for me.
I would guess it MIGHT be Emmons in light of that later work but when I first heard it I thought maybe it was Buddy Cage (that viscious distortion fuzztone on there)- so - Can anyone confirm
or deny either guess? |

Good question. It's one of the few things I never learned about the Spoonful. But I'd bet my bar and picks that it ain't either Emmons or Cage. In fact, I think Joe Butler was the only one of the Spoonful left to make that album. Maybe Steve Boone was still on bass. But certainly Sebastian and Jerry Yester had moved on by that time. Joe bought the rights to the name to cut the album, which was almost as big a flop as was Zally's earlier release "As Long as You're Here" on Kama Sutra.
I think too that it might have been Red Rhodes.[This message was edited by Jim Cohen on 19 August 2005 at 11:09 AM.] |

I'm going to guess Red Rhodes on that song...
I do know that "Nashville Cats" is a combination of John Sebastian fooling around with a steel and Zal's steel-like guitar licks. And I believe John Sebastian plays the steel on "Rain on the Roof". |
