Arlen Roth - Hot Pickups (1980)

Definitely one of the most boring sub-categories of this type of album cover is anything that directly references the fact that you are playing an instrument. It's like "there is absolutely nothing transcendent about this record, it's just a demonstration of me playing"
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 15:22 (eight years ago)
they get even sadder with distance. i'm assuming that at some point arlen roth had some kind of reputation, maybe praised amongst guitar folk, written about in magazines, so an album that's just "hey here he is playing guitar" might be like "shit yeaaaah I gotta get that." those days are now long gone, i fear.
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 15:49 (eight years ago)
Oh man, this is really sad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGXrDFyRlfEPriceless footage of Danny Gatton tribute concert. Arlen Roth and his late daughter, Gillian, performing Suzie Q mixed with Day Tripper. Gillie had just turned 12. Arlen lost Gillian and her mother in a car accident in 1998, when Gillian was just 14.

yeah, sorry to sad up the thread, but I felt bad for making fun of Arlen Roth after I read that. Plus he seems to play really nicely.

Incidentally, one of my dearest old friends got married this weekend. She walked out to "Be My Baby," and then her and the groom walked down the aisle to "I Can Feel The Fire," the legendary opening track to I've Got My Own Album To Do. It was a beautiful wedding.
