Amps & Axes 2016 Tommy Conwell Interview - A Review

What happened when I was listening to the Amps & Axes Show Podcast interview with Tommy Conwell on July 23, 2016…

Tommy:  If a kid tells me they want to learn to play the blues, I tell them to listen to those first two Fabulous Thunderbirds albums.

Podcast Host:  Nobody plays like Jimmie Vaughan. I don’t know anybody that plays like Jimmie.

Me:  {holding back tears and waving a sign that says, “TOMMY PLAYS LIKE JIMMIE!”}

TCYR at The Fillmore's Foundry Room in Philadelphia

One year ago, Tommy Conwell and The Young Rumblers "Showboats and Grandstanders" had a record release party at The Fillmore Philadelphia's Foundry Room! 

A week after the concert, WMMR DJ Jacky BamBam shared with me his amazement of the “real-deal rock n’ roll sound” of the Young Rumblers and the awesome inclusion of the horns: “No one does rock n’ roll horns anymore!!!” 🤘🏻🎶🎸 

The concert celebrated the release of the first Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers’ album in 30 years called, "Showboats and Grandstanders"—made possible by TCYR fans through a crowdfunding campaign. The album dropped on June 18, and the official record release party was held on Sat., June 22. Tommy, Paul, Jim, Rob and Chris played songs from the new album as well as many favorites from the 80s! 

Some highlights: Cliff Hillis, engineer on "Showboats and Grandstander" was a special guest and performed with the band on “Until the End.” Also, Tommy Conwell, Chris Day and Jay Davidson served an all-out blues jam during “Million Pretty Girls.” 

Check out the concert in glorious 4K on YouTube in video from Chris Cafiero.
