Released this month is an album by Carlo Little it is sure to be of interest to SMILER members with not only contributions from Ronnie Wood and his brother Art but also from Long John Baldry, here’s the low down-
CARLO LITTLE was the sound of the 60ās.Loud exciting
and always in step with what was going on. He was the
drummer the ROLLING STONES wanted but couldnāt
afford! He provided the beat behind CYRIL DAVIES ALL
STARS and was the driving force in SCREAMING LORD
SUTCHāS SAVAGES and he taught the young KEITH
MOON how to play!
This album never released before was recorded in 2000
shortly before Carlo fell ill and sadly died in 2005 with the
tapes languishing in limbo. But now it can be heard with
itās āAll Starā cast.
Carlo recruited bassist (and sometime early Stone) RICK
BROWN, ART WOOD (Artwoods), LONG JOHN BALDRY
(who was in Cyril Davies All Stars with Carlo), MATTHEW
FISHER (Procol Harum but who had also been in The
Savages) squeezebox king GERAINT WATKINS (now a
regular part of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings) and Rolling
Stone RON WOOD who teamed up with his brother Art on
some of the tracks
On this album Carlo and other musicians make sure his
name remains up there with the legends of the 60ās. Keep
on rockinā indeed.
