Neil Young sideman
Ben Keith dies Ben Keith, a steel guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who played for 40 years with Neil Young, has died. He was 73. Keith died of a heart attack at Young's California ranch, according to Jonathan Demme, who has directed Young's concert films. Keith had recently been touring with Young's wife Pegi in support of her album Foul Deeds and working with Young on a new project. He had worked with Young since 1971 and played on more than a dozen recordings, including Harvest, Comes a Time, Harvest Moon and Greendale. Young dedicated the song Old Man to his long-time collaborator at a show in Winnipeg on Monday. "This is for Ben Keith. His spirit will live on. The earth has taken him," he said. Keith had played with Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson and dozens of other artists in a career dating back to the late 1950s. A session musician in Nashville, Keith played steel guitar on Patsy Cline's 1961 hit I Fall to Pieces and worked with many other country artists including Johnny Cash. He is credited with helping Young develop his signature sound on the album Harvest and especially on the song Old Man.

 Former
Guns N' Roses rocker Slash learned guitar skills from
legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. "Slash, I remember him as a kid spying on me when I was playing guitar and I'd teach him little licks, and now I'm learning licks off him, it's really good," Wood said on Absolute Classic Rock radio. He added: "He's a great guy to play with and he's great at interacting, a good weaver, you know, we can weave, like me and (Bobby) Womack do and me and Keith Richards do. "Slash is such a great talent, and he plays in my solo band when I take it out and he's on my new album as well." Slash was born and raised in England before moving to the US with his family at the age of 11. 4/20/10 |
Aerosmith's lead
guitarist Joe Perry says the legendary rock band isn't
breaking up — although they need a
new singer.Perry said on Twitter late Monday Aerosmith is "not splitting up" but "looking for a new singer to work with" amid speculation about the band's future and the role of frontman Steven Tyler. Tyler has been quoted as saying he is considering a solo career.Perry tweeted one of the band's members "is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That's all I know." The 61-year-old Tyler was injured when he fell off a stage during an Aug. 5 performance in South Dakota, and the band canceled the remainder of its summer tour. 11/10/09 |
