Bobby Blue Bland's Guitarist?
Jack Oudiz
Wayne Bennett's opening to Stormy Monday is one of the most
recognizable riffs in blues history.

Ok, it seems that it is indeed Pat Hare playing guitar. Is this the same
Pat Hare that recorded "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby" and then did so?

I'm wrong!

Been listening to a tape I found that has Bobby Blues
Bland's "Further On
Up The Road" on it. There is a really great solo here. I
was wonderin' if
anyone knows who the guitarist is. The version of the song
seems to be to
"definitive" version.

Pat Hare it is according to 'Blues Records', so no need for the asbestos
lingerie this week.

Clarence Hollimon [sic] did play on many of Bobby Bland's records, but "Blues
records 1943-1970" has Auburn "Pat" Hare on "Sometime(s) tomorrow"/"Farther up
the road" (Duke 170).

Thank you Dave I was sitting here looking blankly (was that a pun? no, I
NEVER make fun of people's names :-) at Shaun's posted question thinking to
myself Bobby Blue Bland used mainly 2 guitarist one was WAYNE BENNETT and
the other was......?
So scanning the rest of the posts I was blankened no more :-) - ah!
Clarence HOLLIMAN!
Yes, indeed my understanding is that the earlier Bland sides were mainly
Clarence and the later sides were mainly Wayne (of course there is HIS
Stormy Monday - which is also "definitive").
Surely (I know stop calling you "Shirely") someone has the Bobby Blue Bland
2CD sets and can look it up for sure. Our Mr. Dick Shurman can probably
confirm as well.
Back to Clarence - he played GREAT behind Kim Wilson on the track "Teach Me
(How to Love You)" from the CD "That's Life" on Antones, where he literally
"talks" on the guitar in answer to Kim's singing - I think his playing on
that track is a treasure.
Just another piece of TRIVIA -
Q: What in the vast body work of WAYNE BENNETT was he, himself, most proud
of, and would actually boast to other people about?
CAVEAT - I do NOT know this first hand, but have been told by someone I
consider reliable - so this is basically an unsubstantiated rumor - but I
thought it was interesting enough to post at the risk of propagating
MISinformation (so if there are more knowledgable people who CAN confirm or
deny this please let me know......)
A: His work with the CARPENTERS!!!!!

I do have the Bobby Bland Duke Recordings box, and the guitar player listed
for "Farther On Up The Road" is Pat Hare, who it appears was just on for that
one session. Songs before and after feature Clarence Holloman (notice the
spelling)

Up the Road". Clarence Holloman appears in the credits of Bobby
Bland's 1956 & 1957 Duke recordings. Pat Hare appears in the credits of
only two songs: "Farther Up the Road" and "Sometime Tomorrow". Wayne
Bennett starts turning up in 1958 and appears to alternate with Clarence
Holloman on recording dates.

That's the kind of "mind-blowing" trivia I like to work into the
MaximumBlues internet radio shows. Does anyone know what songs?
My favourite Wayne Bennett song is "Motor City Burning", recorded by
John Lee Hooker and the MC5. I grew up in Detroit in the 60's and I
still feel a jolt when I hear that song almost 30 years later.

The one and only! A few years ago James Cotton was playing at
small club in Los Angeles, and he was accessible -- sitting at
a booth before and between sets. Among many other things, I
asked him about Pat Hare -- because not that much is known
about him -- especially anecdotes. I could tell Mr. Cotton
wasn't particularly keen on talking about him.
