Amyl & The Motor City Rhythm Kings

More adventures in Music I Like That Never Made It Onto The Net!

My favorite band immediately after I moved to Boston was Amyl & The Motor City Rhythm Kings. I met them by accident when someone heard me sing and convinced me to go audition to sing backup with them, and although that never panned out, I made some life long friends as a result of a chance meeting in Harpers Ferry. (Hrrrm. There were a lot of those at Harpers Ferry, come to think of it.) I only found three crappy old low quality tapes, but on the theory that "crappy quality" is better than "missing entirely", I made some mp3s. The three tapes are a demo, a recording from a live cable TV show called "Your Mother's On The Roof", and another tape that is entirely unlabelled, but which has some duplication of the demo tunes. (Corrections or additions to any of this information welcomed.) The Demo The Players: Amyl Justin - vocals, Scott Shetler - sax, Barry Fleischer - sax, Matt Woodburn - guitar, Jim MacConduibh - drums, Stu Shiffer - bass My Mistake Snatchin' It Back La Di Do Dum Day East Side Angel I'm Trying

Your Mother's On The Roof The Players: Amyl Justin - vocals, Scott Shetler - sax, Barry Fleischer - sax, Matt Woodburn - guitar, Jim MacConduibh - drums, Bruce Bears - keys, Stu Shiffer - bass Ribs And Rice Introducing the Band So Sharp Let A Woman Be A Woman East Side Angel Savoir Faire The Other Stuff The Players: Amyl Justin - vocals, Scott Shetler - sax, Barry Fleischer - sax, Matt Woodburn - guitar, Jim MacConduibh - drums, Stu Shiffer - bass Mellow Saxophone Pardon, Mr. Gordon Bad Boy Wrap It Up Please Don't Touch The Way I Walk More later, if I find anything. (Especially if I find better quality versions of the things I have.)

 

Other past members of this phenomenal soul band included Andrew Clark on saxophone, and Greg Silva on bass.

The horns at Harpers Ferry: Robbie Lee from Tennessee and Count Roscoe von Scott
