Area Code 615
Area Code 615 - LP
AMG REVIEW: A legendary record recorded by a legendary group of musicians. Area Code 615 was, as the name implies, the location of Cinderella Studios in Nashville (Madison, to be exact). The session players that recorded here are some of the greatest unsung heroes in popular music: Weldon Myrick (pedal steel), Bobby Thompson (banjo), Buddy Spicher (fiddle), Mac Gayden and Wayne Moss (lead guitar), Charlie McCoy (harp), Ken Buttrey (drums), David Briggs (piano) and Norman Putnam (bass). These players performed miracles on hundreds of records, including those by Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Beau Brummels, Ian & Sylvia, and countless others. This, their "group" debut", is a timeless excursion into all forms of music. The record contains a lot of (for then) contemporary covers, such as an awe inspiring version of "Hey Jude" which, in some ways, builds in intensity as much as The Beatles version. It's soul, rock and country at it's finest, and ironically, sounds as though it was a possible the blueprint for Joe Cocker/Leon Russell's Mad Dogs and Englishmen project. Aside from the general power and groove, all of the solos are spectacular, especially Charlie McCoy and Mac Gayden's performances on "Nashville 9, N.Y.1." Gayden is particularly impressive, sounding often like a visiting Eric Clapton in 1969. It's that good. Buttrey and Putnam, though, are the real stars here, laying down the most solid, knee-deep funk and soul that you will ever hear. Absolutely awesome. Friends, this is one stone gas. -- Matthew Greenwald
