I thought his birthday was tomorrow. Eh...

He may be underrated as a musician, but he's certainly extremely well-respected as a producer and music coordinator for film soundtracks.

I've been a fan for over 20 years. I only today just learned that he's been divorced from Sam Phillips for over 3 years now. That made me sad... I think they're both quite remarkable.

Here's some more clips:

"River of Love"

T-Bone with Richard Thompson playing "La Bamba"

T-Bone backing up Sam on "I Need Love"

Blast from the past: T-Bone backing up Dylan on "Shelter From The Storm" (Rolling Thunder Review '76)

Sorry if I got carried away... okay, not really sorry.

I just saw him for the first time at last years Jazz Fest, he was so wonderful I went out and bought his whole catalog. He's an amazing artist.

Since when was T-Bone underrated?

I still have the hots for his wife. Still have all her albums, too. Indescribable. Wow.

Since when was T-Bone underrated?

From the looks of this thread, I'd say it's not an invalid premise. The guy's still pretty far under the radar for most folks. There's a great interview at the Charlie Rose site, though, with him, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss -- he produced their album/CD/whatever that just came out last year. Favorite quote: Allison said that T-Bone "likes it best when people think he's not doing anything."

They're divorced now. I didn't know it either, but yeah, for 3 or 4 years now... I suppose you've seen Die Hard With A Vengeance?

He's not underrated. He's overlooked.

You're welcome.

I like his wife's CDs... Sam Phillips. Martinis and Bikinis was kind of cool. I think I got this right?

Let's not forget that T-Bone produced one of the best albums EVAR: Autolux - Future Perfect
