Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
KEITH RELF
The Yardbirds' Voice- a tribute by Sam Leighty
"Arguably, Keith's harmonica and singing were as important to the sixties Yardbirds sound as were the lead guitars of Clapton, Beck and Page. Of course, a dominant lead guitar was important to their sound. you'll notice in most of the old clips and old tapes of the band they are careful not to crowd the lead guitar too much on solos and fills. And they were probably aware each guitarist had a following of people who came to the gig just to see Jeff Beck or Jimmy, etc. There were times in concert when Keith would really takeoff like some kind of an alien from an anti-matter dimension on songs like "I'm A Man," 'Smokestack Lightning'..."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
