The Jayhawks release one of my favs on April 22. 1997. I was still smarting from the departure of Mark Olson but this one made everything feel OK. (“Stick In The Mud” still gives me goosebumps …)
Matthew Sweet shows up to help with some backing vocals and Madison’s own Pauli Ryan does some percussion work.

Gimme Some Neck

Woody releases his third solo album on April 20, 1979. He called in some of his buddies and the result is a rollicking rocker. Mick Fleetwood, Bobby Keys, Ian McLagan, and Dave Mason help out. Mick, Charlie and Keith, too. Buried Alive and F.U.C. Her cannot be played loud enough. Listen to Gimme Some Neck by Ron Wood on Amazon Music ... #ronwood #gimmesomeneck #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #ianmclagan #keithrichards #mickjagger…
