Funny But True Robert Lockwood Lesson by Johnny Burgin w Quique Gómez Live

Tonite was a gig and 'wrap party' for a little tour of Finland with co-headliner Quique Gómez. Quique nailed it and I love his harp playing on songs like this-- he's one of the more jazzy hard-blues harp players, a tremendous singer and a charismatic and engaging performer. We recorded a version of "Funny But True" on our Vizztone record from '18, "Dos Hombres Wanted", and we did it every night on the Finland tour, hope you enjoy this clip before the lesson. It's from Robert Lockwood's AMAZING '74 release on Trix, "Contrasts". This is one of my very favorite blues LPs, I keep going back to it. I love the looseness of the band and the rawness of the production. RL is fired up, ready to go on this one, it's no 'victory lap' but a fiery display of two complete self-contained guitar styles. I'd like to learn more about the Trix label in general as well, please leave any comments on this era of Robert Lockwood or on the Trix label in the comments and thanks!
