Max Bennett, from Tom Scott's band The LA Express. I love this song...one of the most HONEST love songs ever written. Check out kd lang's cover of it, it's brilliant as well. |

His punchy raunchy sound came from removing the frets from a Fender Jazz Bass and filling the groves with epoxy...hence a fretless bass. There's a wonderful tribute album to Jaco by Brian Bromberg entitled "Jaco". Worth a listen.
I've heard a fretless played before, but it NEVER sounded like this. Guess it's a tool in the hands of a MASTER. |

Hard to imagine Joni without Jaco... such a warm counterpart to her vocals/guitar.

Just saw a special on Joni on cbc here in canada, she was attending a conference at a university back east that was about her and her music. She was also awarded an honorary degree
She said in an interview that she will no longer make new music, since she found her daughter she has no inspiration, quite interesting.
There was a real interesting comment by an african american music journalist. He says the black community always thought of Joni as a black artist. They then pointed to the cover of Don Juans Reckless Daughter and noted the black guy on the cover is infact Joni.

Cool! I have this album, but I don't remember this track - I know this song much better from the MILES OF AISLES album - this one is good too. Now I have to dig up that LP and burn a copy for the car!
