| SCOTT RICHARDSON AND KJ KNIGHT: THE FALLEN ANGELS Posted: 07 May 2011 10:44 AM PDT  Scott Richardson Hey gang! Got a really cool email today from Drummer KJ Knight and he sent me a song from the band The Fallen Angels... So when Scott R called today I got his take on the song "Big River" and KJ was so kind to give us some background on this band. Take a listen... I really like these tunes. Thanks KJ and Scott! xxooK From Scott Richardson.. Fallen Angels was band we put together after hanging around London 73-74. Had the great Kj on drums, I don't remember where we recorded it but am happy to find out KJ had a copy of it. I recorded Big River written by Bob Seger because I think it is one of his best songs. There is something about that song that really moves me. I have always loved it. The song sounds as good to me today as when he wrote it. Thanks KJ for sending this in... SR Big River Life is like a big river sinkin' or swim, depends on you you can take or you can be a giver if you got love you're gonna get through once, a good woman loved me I was kinda cruel, and she left me one day now I'm cryin', she loves another gotta go alone the rest of the way take, the advice of a loser who's been livin' too long alone follow your heart follow your rainbow and one day you'll find you are not alone Bob Seger  From KJ Knight Kim This session was done at ABC Recording Studios, Inc at 8255 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, California in I believe 1975.We recorded three songs, "Big River," "Ride The Wind," and "Someone Like You." The Fallen Angels was a great band and loaded with talent!!! The group featured Scott Richardson on vocals. Other members included: Richard Haddad Michaels on bass, Mike Nardone on guitar, and me, KJ Knight on drums. Scott Thurston, who later joined Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, played keyboards on a couple of these tracks. Big River Ride the Wind Someone Like You  |
| FREEDOM.... JIMI HENDRIX AND NOY BURTON Posted: 07 May 2011 06:12 AM PDT  Jimi Hendrix One of my favorite anthems of my life is "Freedom" by Jimi Hendrix. This song reminds me so much of my dear friend Noy Burton. Back in the day we all hung out at a Submarine Sandwich place called Sub Villa in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I found one photo of that place...  The old Sub Villa Sub Villa was the coolest place to hang after school... It had some booths, a pinball machine, pool table and a very cool jukebox. Noy used to come in and the first thing he did was hit the juke box and play Freedom by Hendrix... To this day I think of my friend whenever I hear that song. Noy loved life and all it encompassed. He was a TV camera guy. One of the very coolest things Noy did for me happened from Cape Canaveral. Noy called me on the phone and let me listen to a Space Shuttle Launch. Man that was loud but so very cool. Thanks NOY for all the fun... XXOOK  Noy Burton FREEDOM You got my pride hanging out of my bed You're messin' around with my life So I bought my ... You even mess with my children And you're screamin' at my wife, baby Get off my back, if you wanna get outta here alive Freedom, give it to me That's what I want now Freedom, that's what I need now Freedom to live Freedom, so I can give You got my heart speak electric water You got my soul screamin' and howlin' You know you hook my girlfriend You know the drugstore man But I don't need it now I was trying to slap it out of her head Freedom, so I can give Freedom, yeah Freedom, that's what I need You don't have to say that you love if you don't mean it You'd better believe If you need me or you just wanna bleed me you'd better stickin' your dagger in someone else So I can leave Set me free  |

A guy who sang above love and you could believe him... Just found this killer video but I can't post it..
