Hi everybody. All of our music is available on CD's. Check out our catalog at: www.elvinsystems.com/jm/catalog.htm Jack & Misty
OUR SONGS CONTAIN: Bald-headed birds in dirty underwear, spirits flying beyond time, home-sick steel workers, lost souls, a guest of honor crying at his own funeral, old folks, autumn days, a clock witnessing a murder, weeds, cobwebs, yellow bellied sap suckers, and other deep stuff we have gathered from first-hand observation of life and carefully taken down in brown crayon. We've been right here in this dream all along, waiting for you. Think of all the fun we can have before we wake up! Thanks for finding us. Jack & Misty. Grammy Nominees, Billboard's Duet of the Year. Please visit our home page jackandmisty.com
Misty's voice is fabulous , but nothing can compensate for that hokey Indian-killin' "living legend" bullshit production value the producercreates out of Jack's antithetical rasp . Awful .
I thought so! “Shame On The Moon” was made famous by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Not only was it a huge pop hit, it even scored big on the country music charts, all in 1982. Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan should have had a hit with their cover version. First time hearing Jack and Misty singing this song. They were terrific! Even now.
What a beautiful song. I play it almost every day . Misty is so missed and my prayers are with you, God bless and thank you for the great gift of music you have given all of us.
jackandmisty- is there a way we might communicate directly? I've a question for you regarding this song. As you can see from previous comments, I've written prior to you, about this song, but wish to 'take it' further. I hope to hear from you. If you are interested, I can send you my e-m address, or phone number so we could chat. Wishing you both good health, tho I realize that's a big ask in these difficult times.
I had this song in grade school...still grade....just rediscovered Ur music...Misty I love Ur Voice...It is 2021 we are lucky to have these great songs...i remember playing this on my moms stereo...she use to tell use kids do not play any scratched records..my.of the album with these songs would be warned out....it was the life and death and everything else LP...wow...So Cool
SUCH a great song. Absolutely addictive. My dear, dear friend Jay Carollo introduced me to it years ago. And, it stuck. Sadly, Jay passed away on 8-23-20 and find I'm listening to alot of your music in these strange new days. :( It took my breathe away to see that he had commented in this space (directly below your comment/below). I meant to buy him a cc of your book for his birthday and well, I didn't. I had plans to mail it to you and beg for an inscription to him. I'm confident it would have been one of his favorite gifts, likely of all time. THANK YOU for your timeless melodies and spot on harmonies.....
One of the MANY aspects of your numbers I really enjoy are the modulations you employed in your songs, such as in "Big Black Bird" and "There Must Be More To Life Than Growing Old." Even more so when your key change lands on a major 7th chord. Beautiful! You used a lot of augmented, add 6, 7th and major 7th chords, as well as minor chords, which really make the tunes interesting! Great job, Jack! You are definitely a schooled musician! Btw, when did you two record "The Cockroach Stomp?" Boy, that one is vintage!" You two were quite young then. It sounds a lot like early Neil Sedaka. LOL!
Thank you! Yeah, I studied music years ago and had the good fortune to have a lot of ear training as a part of my studies. Being able to recognize the various types of chords; i.e., major, minor, augmented, major 7th, etc., was, and is, a big help to me in learning tunes, as well as just pure enjoyment for me when listening to music from whichever artist(s). Again, I really enjoy that variation in a lot of your numbers. You two were not just your typical three or four chord country/pop act. That's was made your music so special and unique, at least to my ears, and, I'm sure, to the ears of many others. Thank you so much for your prompt responses, and for indulging me! Are the two of you gigging much these days?
Great, great number! I remember when it first came out and my mother had the 45. I love that kickin' two-beat "cosmopolitan country" that was so prominent in the late-'60s to early-'70s country. Sort of "Glen Campbell-ish." I love this one MUCH MORE than "Tennessee Birdwalk!" Sorry, Jack and Misty! LOL! Oh, and the steel guitar is great in this number during the bridge!
LOL! Oh, I'm sure that you two ARE quite thankful for "Birdwalk!" That tune really put you two on the map, as well as on American Bandstand! This might be a loaded question but what studios in Nashville, overall, did you two record in, and were there any session musicians that really stood out in your minds? I would love to know who the steel player was on this cut. Very nice sound, and tasteful! I'm a steel guitarist, myself, along with being a saxophonist.
@@jerrycobetto3645 Hi, Jerry. This song was recorded at Mercury Studios, Nashville. The steel was played by Lloyd Green. We've recorded at many studios in Nashville, Miami, and Muscle Shoals AL, but mostly at Mercury and Columbia.
Yes, Lloyd Green! I should've known. He was one of the top Nashville session steel players back in the day. Years ago he went on the road with Charlie Pride, and was also one of the two steel players who played on the Byrds album: "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." Are you two still performing?
