The Shows
Show #4 Summer 2018
Hosted by Greg Forest
Back to the Shoebox this issue! The show features a Texas fave and premier guitar-slinger Anson Funderburg an the Rockets featuring renowned blues singer Sam Meyers. We also have a flashback to the late 60s with a performance from Jesse Colin Young, front man for the Youngbloods.
Anson Funderburg. originally from Plano, Texas, has been at the forefront of the blues scene for decades. His mix of Chicago and Texas blues styles brought him to center stage back in the 1980s. In 1984, when his original harmonica player, Darryl Nulisch left the band, Anson invited blues legend Sam Myers to join the band and he stayed with them until his death in 2006. This recording was made at Antone’s in 1988 in Austin Texas while the club was still on North Lamar near 29th St. Anson is still rocking hard and you can check him out at his web site.
Jesse Colin Young was the leader of the 60’s band The Youngbloods and garnered a number of hits under the band moniker. He had a number of releases on the Warner Label and is best known for the song, “Get Together”, written by Chet Powers which charted nationally. He left the band in 1972 and released his first solo album, “Together.” Young went on after his Warner career to found Raccoon Records and released four additional albums on that label. Young is now living in Hawaii on his coffee plantation. Everybody get together – right now
