Kevn Kinney & The Golden Palominos cover Never G

[zoid]

Has anyone heard the new Kevn Kinney and the Golden Palominos CD? It opens with a cover of Never Gonna Change.

There are a few live clips on youtube with Kevn covering the song.

I bought it last night at the show he did with the Kevn Kinney Band (which, in addition to Kevn includes Tim Nielsen on bass, Audley Freed on guitar and Anton Fier on drums) at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill but I haven't listened to it yet. They opened with "Never Gonna Change".

It took me a while to place it but in the opening chords of the YouTube clip Zoid posted this version sounds like Naked Eye by the Who.

Yea, great arrangement of NGC.. Slower groove and a few Georgia references highlight the song.
Oh yea- btw it's Kevn Kinney. Figured this would be in the other bands thread section.

For some reason I connect The Golden Palominos with Jim Campilongo. Why is that?

And I thought Amazon misspelled his name. After all of these years of me misspelling it I stand corrected.

I always thought they were a collective of musicians that revolved around Anton Fier. I only have one Golden Palominos album (Visions of Excess) but according to their bio at AllMusic.com, a collective is pretty much what they were/are.

Got to thank Howlinwolf for turning me onto this album during DBT weekend in Athens.

I googled it and found Palominos and Campilongo had done some shows together in NYC a couple of years ago. I follow Campilongo on Facebook so I probably saw an ad for those shows back then... I think you're right about the Palominos being a collective.

must check this out

I was really surprised that the turnout at the 506 last week wasn't larger than it was especially given the Audley Freed factor (not to mention the presence of Anton Fier). The dude is a legend in these parts. Back in the 80s he played in a band called Sidewinder along with Robert Kearns (Cry of Love, Bottle Rockets, Lynyrd Skynyrd). It's been a real treat to see them, as well as Brad Rice (Whiskeytown, the Backslilders, Ryan Adams) be so successful in their careers. For Brad, that meant playing with Keith Urban but I'm sure he didn't mind the paycheck.

If you listen to the interview you'll hear Kinney pronounce Isbell as "Is-a-bell". Seems like he would know how to say it properly since he not only covers "Never Gonna Change" on his new album but has also shared stages with Jason in the past. Perhaps Jason is just too polite to correct him or has never heard him say his last name (which seems highly unlikely).

He also fumbles the "all in all is all we are" when he works in covers of "All Apologies". That's always drove me crazy - evidenced in the Tres Tangled Truckers @ Pour DVD

Never have seen or heard that. Plus, I missed out on that concert. I did attend the second one though.
