JO JO BILLINGSLEY
Thirty three years from that fateful day on October 20, 1977 I am posting this heartfelt interview with Jo Jo Billingsley. Lynyrd Skynyrd has always been my favorite band and it was quite an honor to have the opportunity to pick the brain of one of the original participants of a band that has influenced millions of people. This interview is a compilation of actually three conversations that I had with Jo Jo. This interview was never finished and will never be finished... Unfortunately, Jo Jo Billingley left this world on June 24, 2010. Another Freebird Flys on...........
Rich Eckhardt
CD Review
"Cottage City Firehouse"
Rich Eckhardt is no stranger to diversity. Playing styles from rock and roll to country and playing with legends such as Ted Nugent and Toby Keith his guitar work and the complexity of his playing is intriguing. Rich’s latest solo effort is called “Cottage City Firehouse” and includes several different styles and samplings that can only be described as a guitarist’s CD for the guitarist. With numerous colossal riffs and melodies, this CD could be the instructional ‘book’ by which all aspiring guitarists should study. In this exclusive interview with Rich, we break down each song and learn more about the inspirations and the technology that put each masterpiece together. When questioning Rich about what song best captures his ‘style’ of playing, his response was “Two songs actually. ‘Long Way Home’ represents every style of guitar playing that I love and ‘Shelby and Puppy’ would be the other because when I play the acoustic guitar; it’s just me”. Check out samples of all these songs at Rich’s Website http://www.richeckhardt.com and pick up the album. Detroit Music Notes rates this album as a must have!
