Wilxy Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Credit where due, that was an absolute class interview, and as previously mentioned , what a memory Joe Hunter possesses, I have listened to it several times over, and the pictorial supplement just adds nicely to the "journey".......Great Stuff ! Well Done Graham, can't wait for the "next episode". Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Fabulous; what a giant of music Joe was. Unassuming but so talented and prolific. We’ll done catching all that Graham; brilliant memory too. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This one is really interesting to me because Joe started in the business before most of the rest, so he was around during the pre-Soul R&B heyday.

Ady Croasdell Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Very interesting that he says Dave Hamilton played lead on Boom Boom. The session details list another guy but Joe and Dave said otherwise Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
G F Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thanks for the positive feedback. It took me quite a while to edit the audio files -- around 100 hours to come up with that video. I tried to get it in some sort of chronological order, but our actual conversations would inevitably jump around from topic/year to topic/year. Joe was prolific and the interview scratches the surface of what he was involved in. I've just listened to another interview I did with a guy called A.J. and he said that he and some teenage friends were the Hit Men backing Lee Jennings, and that Joe was the main man on those sessions. I imagine Joe was behind those Dotty's and Star Track etc sessions for label owner Sonny Marshall. (BTW - Sonny's wife was called Dorothy). Ady --re Boom Boom: it sounds to me like Joe had finished recording a song - with Dave Hamilton, Big Bubbles and Jamerson - and John Lee Hooker was there listening as they ran it down. The riff was something that his manager picked up on and they then recorded it as Boom Boom. Do the session notes credit Joe and Jamerson, and names United Sound?

Ady Croasdell Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think so Graham, I know it’s not Dave listed on the session. Thanks for elucidating on the details Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
