21? Marty Stuart joined Lester Flatt's band when he was 14. Levon Helm joined Ronnie Hawkins' band The Hawks the day he graduated from high school, and immediately left for Canada, where he eventually met the other guys who one-by-one joined The Hawks. In 1968 The Hawks became known as The Band, the Super Group of all Super Groups. Eric Clapton broke up Cream after hearing their debut album Music From Big Pink, went to West Saugerties in upstate New York to hang with them at Big Pink, waiting to be asked to join the group. Naw Eric, we got it covered. ;-)
What's Your Fantasy Supergroup?
Throughout the history of rock various established artist have joined together to form supergroups. Groups along the lines of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Asia, Blindfaith, Traveling Wilburrys, etc. So my challenge is for you to put together what you think would be a great band consisting of well known artists. The only guidelines I would offer is that the proposed band would have a primary vocalist and at least one songwriter.
Here's my fantasy band (a soul/gospel/funk outfit with a taste of New Orleans):
Mtume - percussionZiggy Modeliste - drumsJames Jamerson - bass guitarDavid Williams - rhythm guitarMac Rebennack - keyboardsPrince Rogers Nelson - lead guitar, vocalsAretha Franklin - piano, vocals
