Mike Barnes Reflects on Rock City Angels


Listen Later

Asheville guitarist extrodinaire, Mike Barnes, (Bonzo to us) joins Jeff Anders and Rich to reflect on his time witih Geffin Records, Rock City Angels, (Young Man's Blues) opening for Jimmy Page at the L.A. Forum and how it wound down and eventually led Barnes home to Asheville and Praying for Rain. It's a classic story.

I was thrilled to have Barnes on the podcast. He is the home grown, self-rising jam for which this podcast was created; Ronnie Burgin surfaces on a long, lost recording of "Back to Louisiana." Recorded in Rocky Lindsley's bedroom, wih Johnny Jump, Bobby Webb(who shared the recording with Jump) and Rocky, it's a jump back to a simpler, organic moment in Asheville, music history. Thanks to Johnny Jump and Bobby Webb for sharing the recording. Also, thanks to Jeff Anders for providing his studio to record the podcast. Home Grown. Self-Rising.
