eddie harsche

i've, for some time, been a fan of the man eddie harsh. he might spell his name a number of different ways, and you may never known who he was, but this is partly why my blog matters.

eddie hawrsche is the ex-keys player from the black crowes. i'll acknowledge that chuck levell took his place on the most recognizable crowes discs, but that doesn't denounce my boy from his due credit.

most keys players fault on either playing too much or too little... an overly notey jazz player will tell you that you can never play too few notes, but they are wrong. eddie is to organ and rhodes and piano like what SRV was to the guitar.

the only compareable keys player is norah jones who sides on too little but tastefully plays those notes flawlessly. but harsche can rip on the keys, and oh how he does. so what i'm saying is this... if you don't buy my songs on itunes... and you don't buy black crowes records between shake your moneymaker and warpaint, at least illegally download the tweeners. i'm not an advocate of the illegal downloads, but if it gets eddie the respect he deserves then i'll make some concessions.
