 Hal Blaine's On A Roll!
Submitted on: 2009-09-15 |

If Hal Blaine did no more than slip quietly into retirement after a career as being the most recorded drummer of the rock and roll era, one couldn't say he owed us anything more.
But by publishing his memoir, Hal Blaine And The Wrecking Crew: The Story Of The Worlds Most Recorded Musician, explaining an exciting era of music, he put the whole story into perspective as to how the recording business worked, or was worked.
To put the icing on the cake, we have the 1998 Hal Blaine recording, Bah-Doom! Thirty four cuts not what a person might expect from a legendary drummer. Of course what would a drummer album be without drums? Yes Hal hits some good licks, but the focus of the album is the other thing Hal is known for...his humor.
When the musicians would show up and prepare for a recording session, Hal would break the ice by telling a joke. This would break the tension, allowing for a more relaxed environment in which to perform. This album demonstrates is a collection of jokes and drum tracks, probably not unlike those that opened many of the recording sessions of the music you know and love. Hal covers topics including what a drummer says on his first paying gig, to how a duffer acquires an incredible golf ball you just can't loose. Some of Hal's material is self deprecating, some of it takes a wrecking ball to the ego facade of musicians who play other instruments. He explains what happens when a bagpipe player leaves his instrument in the car and forgets to lock the door.
This album is pretty good for jokes you can tell in mixed company. I added this album to my music player mix, along with some Monty Python. It helps break up the continuous music list with some quick wit and British sketches. |
