In this episode of Gutbuster, Creamy starts with Africa in mind although he soon stays from that path. Music featured includes tracks from Urban All-Stars, Ras, Letto M’Bulu, The Pharaohs, Gil Scott Heron, Eugene McDaniels, Betty Wright, Little Richard, Benjamin Zephaniah, Dennis Brown & The Soul Syndicate, Bob Marley & The Wailers, 4Hero (featuring Roy Ayres), Herbie Hancock and Earth, Wind & Fire.

 

If you feel so inclined, do us a favour and give us a review on iTunes. I’d be ever so grateful.

 

Until next time. Take care and Keep It On The One.

 

Love Creamy.

 

Would you believe it, we hear nothing from him for months and now 2 episodes in a couple of weeks! Well, the feedback was so nice for the Bill Withers tribute, Creamy though he would risk another one.

 

This week we have another track from the amazing ‘This Is Mainstream’ album, we look at the footprint left from the great Eddie Hazel, we take a trip to France, have a bit of funk and finish with another Bill cover that couldn’t be included last week.

 

I hope you enjoy. If you do, give us a like or even better a review on Podbean or iTunes.

 

You all take care out there and remember, the best medicine can sometimes be ‘keeping it on the one’

It's been a long time but the passing of Bill was just too important not to mark. This episode doesn't just feature music from the great man himself, it also features some covers of his most popular tunes from the likes of Gladys Knight & The Pips, Afrique, Issac Hayes, Buddy Terry and Sivuca. 

Creamy hopes everyone is well in these strange and challenging times and he hopes this may give your mind a rest from what sits outside the front door for at least an hour. Who knows, with no gigs or indeed social events, he may have the time to put some more episodes together. A lot will depend on your comments and feedback.

 

As always, take care and 'Keep It On The One' Love Creamy xxx

I had forgotten just how much I enjoy putting ‘The Chilled Sessions’ together and the music this episode is really sublime. Tracks from The Cinematic Orchestra, Vangelis, Ludovico Einaudi, Luke Howard, Sarah Davachi, Max Richter, The Floating Points, Eluvium, Agnes Obel, YAAARD, Azimuth, Vikingur Olafsson & Ryuichi Sakamoto.

 Have a beautiful week and keep it on the one.

An episode of real mixed emotions for me, this one. As I explain in the introduction, I was suffering with my mental health at the time of interview and had had a panic attack that I was trying to mask throughout the time of the interview and concert. However, I am also sitting on stage with a genuine hero of mine, having the opportunity to talk about his music, the music industry in general with the odd ghost story thrown in for good measure.

 

For all its shortcomings, I really hope you enjoy the episode.

 

All music featured this week is from the ‘Monks Road Social, Down The Willows’ album that was released earlier this year. All 3 tracks played feature Matt on guitar and he is also the composer of ‘Head Down To Love’ & ‘Hello Though’.

 

The final track featured this week is from the truly amazing Samantha Whates, whom I have featured on previous episodes. I am hoping to have a chat with Samantha in the near future about her upcoming album, ‘Waiting Rooms’.

 

Don’t forget, tickets for Mother Earth are available at https://www.seetickets.com/event/mother-earth/100-club/1330640

 

The video of Matt playing Overshadowed can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCl25zL6Vn8

 

A big thank you to everyone who was involved in the concert including Steph, James, Dud, Stu, Dik & Fi, Daisy, Simon, Alys (and Mum) and the many people I have insulted by not including them on this list.

 

And thank you, Matt. It was a beautiful night and as always you filled the room with some very special music.

Following on from our previous episode, Creamy is joined by Level 42 fan and guitarist with Stephanie Davies & The Super Dynamics, SPANK and Family Fandango for a chat about the band and how Boon influenced his style. He also brings a few records with him (both 42 and related) to play and talk about.

Music this episode by Dominic Miller, Nate Smith, Level 42, Phil Gould & Billy Cobham.

 

Have a good week and keep it on the one. Love Creamy xxx

A really sad episode to do as a real hero of mine passed away a couple of weeks ago. Now I know the name Level 42 can carry a lot of baggage for some so I please ask of you to stick that aside for the next couple of hours and have a listen to what I have put together. I have tried as much as possible to stay away from the 'hits' and more popular tracks to really focus on 2 areas, Boon as a writer and Boon as a player. 

 

I hope you will give this episode a go and appreciate the incredible musicianship that underpins their work (particularly live, where, when possible I have opted for the live recordings of the songs. The songs played this episode are:

Almost There (live)

Lying Still

Are You Hearing (What I Hear) (Live)

Wings Of Love

Brazil 99

Dream Crazy

Seven Days

Take A Look (Acoustic)

Eyes Waterfalling (Live)

Turn It On (Live)

Heathrow (Live)

Lopsy Lu (Stanley Clarke)

Love Meeting Love/ Kansas City Milkman (Live)

88 (Live)

 

Our love goes out to Boon's family and to the rest of the band. Rest in peace and thank you for everything.

 

Apart from my vinyl collection, I lent heavily on Paul Waller's amazing book, 'Level 42 - The Worldwide Visual Discography' & Stuart Clayton's Mark King/ Level 42 Bass books for extra notes and knowledge. I cannot recommend these books highly enough with Paul's book now available on an electronc copy (not sure if any physical books are left) and Stuart's bass tab books can be found at www.basslinepublishing.com
