It features songs and stories that he remembered learning from his elders and incorporates singing in both English and the Lakota language. (Down under, Hank Williams is the most-selected artists on aboriginal jukeboxes.) Red Bow's second recorded work, Journey to the Spirit World, remains a favorite of many listeners. This may not have been such a problem as country & western has always been one of the most popular Anglo musics among aboriginal people, in Australia as well as the United States. He recorded three albums, beginning in 1984 with a self-titled debut that had a such a strong country flavor that forever after he was most often referred to as a country artist. His songs seem to have taken root in the hearts of his fans in a special way, although it goes hand in hand with a feeling that in the end he somehow did not live up to his potential. He is remembered not only as a musician, but as a Lakota activist in on the Red Power movement early on, one of the first to become involved in the Ghost Dance movement, and so on. Surely he had learned from previous masters such as Peter La Farge, Floyd Westerman, and Buffy Saint-Marie, yet Red Bow was somehow a voice of a new generation, a reality confirmed by actions as well as songs. He was not the first to take a solidly Anglo form of musical expression - the folk protest song and country & western music - and use it to express the concerns of the Indian nations.

Read Full Bio Buddy Red Bow is a Native American musical legend whose memory often evokes emotional responses from fans of this genre.
A few years ago I'd have called this the best board I'd ever heard but not everything can be a 5.Buddy Red Bow is a Native American musical legend whose memory often evokes emotional responses from fans of this genre. It's a great board, and I'm also checking out all the newly posted auds from this period too. Everyone is pounding away and clanging and crashing and ripping chords and notes like mad, it is total musical chaos, but everyone is in tune and in time. The whole band is just *screaming*, really leaning into it and giving it everything they've had, never heard one like it. Phil seems interested for the most part with infrequent periods of plodding around. The playing is excellent, not super-solid throughout but Jerry is 'on' and 'there' which makes for an anything-can-happen type of show. Jerry alternates between nice'n'loud and not there, but that has more to do with what he is doing than the mix itself. The mix for this show is very good, some folks are more out front than others. Fall '91 is very solid and I haven't heard a duff Richfield show yet. Couldn't really get into post-'82 until after Brent had died and hated post-Brent until recently. It seems that I can't get into an era until some major upheaval has taken place.
I've only recently discovered this website and these collections, and am starting to troll for shows I went to.
I remember the Drums came right up out of the Ganges, very Indian. Maybe all three.įrom on high the people down on the floor of the arena looked like a sea of old southern Blacks down by the river for baptism. And I'm confident that the band brought back Brent or Pigpen or Keith with "He's Gone". And, yeah, Bob's guitar was right out front, and that's so much fun. I recall nothing sonically or musically that wasn't pure bliss. This was one of those "most beautiful shows". Though daring, the dancing was still great. We were not disappointed.īut we were so high up on the side of that coliseum that we thought we could almost fall vertically if we slipped. That's the first time that'd ever happened, and I saw it as a good omen. When they left, they wished us a "good show".
On the way to this show we saw some folks at a rest stop, and of course we all realized we were headed to the same place.
