IN THE MIX Vicki Peterson Edition Vol. 3
IN THE MIX Vicki Peterson Edition Vol. 3 starts off with one of the first songs Vicki wrote with her Banglemate Susanna Hoffs: Hero Takes A Fall. There are other studio & live tracks from The Bangles including Ask Me No Questions which Debbie Peterson sings lead on. Also included are tracks from Vicki’s duo with Susan Cowsill; The Psycho Sisters, and two Giant Sand tracks for which Peterson provided background vocals.
It features cuts from her wonderful album with John Cowsill, Long After The Fire, & their previous project, ACTION SKULLS with Lost In Space’s Billy Mumy of Barnes & Barnes fame!
In the years The Bangles were apart, she recorded with Continental Drifters. There are a couple of live performances, as well as Vicki performing with The Records’ John Wicks at a 2014 concert.

ReplyDeleteVol. 3 has a cut by Action Skulls that features child star BILLY MUMY of LOST IN SPACE fame.
But my vote for best ACTOR TURNED MUSICIAN might go to his OTHER band BARNES & BARNES who gave the world the Dr. Demento classic: Fish Heads.
Who gets your vote for the best ACTOR TURNED MUSICIAN? I suggest we aim for people who rose to prominence as an actor--even if they were musicians first.

Nice one Stinky, thanks. Regarding actors > musicians, 2 Jeffs come to mind; how about Jeff Bridges (2011 country album) & Jeff Goldblum (he did 4 jazz/standards albums with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra).
ReplyDeleteBoth solid choices, Koen! I think I read that Goldblum paid the bills by playing piano in bars when he was a struggling actor. Few artists get to do anything as creative, or challenging, for their "day jobs".
DeleteBilly Connolly, first a welder, then a musician and a comedian then also an actor and a painter. He is top.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stinky
It's possible some readers don't realize that CONNOLLY was in a music duo with GERRY RAFFERTY of STEALERS WHEEL & Baker Street fame! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z9ROW9oAG4
ReplyDeleteJenny Lewis, for sure. From The Wizard, Troop Beverly Hills and holding Rose's teddy bear hostage on Golden Girls, to indie rock royalty.
ReplyDeleteJenny is a great example, James! Thanks for weighing in.
DeleteThe star of Crossing Jordan is a pretty good singer/songwriter. Saw her at Rusty's Surf Ranch in Santa Monica sitting in with Billy Mumy's band ( with Mel Ferrer on drums!). Also at Rusty's saw a band with Laurence Juber, Alex Ligertwood, Gary Mallaber (good enough, those) with star Trek's black vulcan as leader.(I don't know anyone's name...look 'em up!)
ReplyDeleteThe star of Crossing Jordan was Jill Hennessy, and Mel Ferrer was also in the cast. Tim Russ was Tuvok.
