Guitar Trouble (live) - Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers

Dude: Hey, DJ Caterina, tell me another one of your TCYR stories...

Me: Well, back in 1986, Tommy Conwell hired Rob Miller for the Young Rumblers and then put him on keyboards because, Tommy said, Rob was the better guitar player. 

Dude: Oh, come ON!!! 

Me: Yeah, interesting, right? But here's Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers live in 1990 playing Guitar Trouble with Rob Miller on lead guitar with Tommy. I just love the guitar duel going on here.

Dude: THIS IS AMAZING!

Me: Anyway, check it out, kids...

Big Big Love (Live) - Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers



Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers perform "Big Big Love" live at Market St. Station in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Sept. 8, 1988. (Audio Only).

"Big Big Love" was written in 1961 by Wynn Stewart, one of "the progenitors of the Bakersfield sound

The Bakersfield sound was a genre of country music developed in the mid- to late 1950s in and around Bakersfield, California. The many hit singles were largely produced by Capitol Records country music head, Ken Nelson. Bakersfield country was a reaction against the slickly produced, string orchestra-laden Nashville sound, which was becoming popular in the late 1950s. Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, and Merle Haggard and the Strangers, are the most successful artists of the original Bakersfield sound era.

The track was also covered by Waylon Jennings in 1973, and released by Nick Lowe on the LP, Pinker and Prouder Than Previous, in 1988. Tommy takes the little-known song and adds his own rock-blues vibe.
