KELLY’S LOT @ CAFE MONTMARTRE,IXELLES OCT 4TH 2009
Roadhouse/Blues from California
KELLY ZIRBES isn’t an ordinary chick, she is a dynamite! She put all the guys (from 16 to 77 years) on their knees, the women dream of taking her place.
Attention Z Kelly has over the 20 years, but she is not in the category 'Sarah' by Serge Reggiani / George Moustaki either (... mouth worn out by the kisses too often, but too bad given .. .). The lady lived and had some disappointments(setbacks )... She gave a lot, and still gives :a show of three hours, and if, Didier, the owner of the bar, doesn’t beg her to stop at midnight thirty (neighbors have to work on Monday ...), she would still play.
I won’t mention his band, cracks ... the semi-acoustic guitar (Ryhthm guitar) and VC backin, her husband : the strong and smiling Perry Robertson, on bass: Matt 'sunglasses' Mc Fadden and the lead, Rob Zucca, this guy,who holding a coffee shop near LA, you comes out some scratch lines (his is born before the Civil War) not stung to beetles.
Before entering the heart of the matter, adding that Miss Z runs the Marathon in less than 49 'and in her spare time, she committed in the fight against hepatitis C. She is amazing, Kelly! I'm on the list to marry when she is sick of Perry.
First Set
'Train' a component of the beautiful, from the album 'Trio' of 2003. (She has released 5 CD's).
Blues funky and sexy with a dual guitar solo. The absence of drums is not felt, the sound is perfect. Soon you compare the tone warm and raspy from the man-eater to the largest: Bonnie Raitt (one of his idols), Yvonne Elliman, Rita Coolidge, Elkie Brooks and Karla Bonoff ... This train is featured on the soundtrack of 'King of California' by Mike Cahill (featuring Michael Douglas ...).
A cover 'Brand New Key' Melanie (Safka) No. 1 in the charts in 1972. Brilliant!
'Come to this' always on 'Trio' is the blues, no question of ignoring ... I woke up this morning ... my soul is empty ... a juicy solo by Rob.
A new song 'Better Way', maybe about killing your husband, wink to her man ... I'm gonna build me a wall, build it tall tonight ... you hard, I warn you ... nobody's gonna hurt me ... not tender, the pussycat !
For the bikers, a jazzy 'Route 66'. Try to respect the speed limit of 70 mph, Rob!
This is for Matt, which was fun to drive at 250 mph on the Nürburgring: 'Drive' a blues / rock energic and speeded.
We are late bloomers, says Mrs. Zirbes and this one is for an angry ex-boss: 'Close my Eyes', a tango / blues, introduced by a whistle pretty hummingbird.
James Taylor / Carly Simon: 'Mockingbird' amazing version, while fondling and Slicky guitar licks. 'Fair' little singalong hopping on the latest CD 'The Light'.
'Right now' funky love song. People, it's time to slow down: 'Woman's Love' has sensitive slow blues, to tears flow. 'Strong girl' a strong rock, the lady has balls.
Before founding Kelly's Lot, I was 35, I played folk. From club to club with my guitar, I was a Folksinger, I always followed the credo of Janis Joplin: sing from the heart ... 'Me & Bobby McGee'. Not the only one who is driven by chills, Loli , he motioned, pointing his finger at the second microphone: May I ? ... Freedom is just another word ... Ovations! The room is crowded, the audience is warm as a frenzy.
Melissa Etheridge 'Let me go ... if you can not love me, let me go ... got it, guys!
'Tired' a genuine blues ... I'm tired of being alone ... Calimero syndrome 'Nobody loves me’ ... but we all love you, Kelly. Her Perry gives us a recital acoustic cannon. Jealous, Zucca, responds by showing him he can do better at the slide. Pure enjoyment, and poor Kelly ... Baby, I'm so blue, yeah ..
Yeah, 75 'of happiness!
Break and supplies.
The CD's ,15 € for the both cds, are sold by the dozen, autograph session for Kelly and her boys.
Set 2
Start without me guysl, the friendly Didier, offered me a glass of wine ...
'Little Wing', you’re flying away.
Mijn glass is empty: 'You're the only reason', a new title.
'Just a heart' of the country Kasatchok a Cossack dance on stage ... Forget words, coz words are lies ...
Bonnie Raitt, 1972, 'Give it up ... you come home drunk and disgusting, where were you ... if you want me to love you You got to give it up or let me go ... complicated, love!
'Unsure' always doubts in love, while Perry and Rob leave the guns. A backfire insane, a dazzling fireworks.
A folksong, I wrote 20 years ago, 'Back to L A'.
Back to rootsy blues, Bonnie Raitt, again: 'Love Me Like a Man ", spectacular. Shoot first, gentlemen. Do you make us another solo, Chouki? No, baby ... You can love me like a man ... I have goosebumps.
'Today': Carpe Diem said Epicurus.
Three notes, we all understood it and hummed before she sings 'House of the Rising Sun'. The Montmartre explodes, Eric Burdon in skirt killed us. Loli is running fast for singing in duo, and it inserts 'Amazing Grace'. Amazing!
Perry: Hey, Rob, pass me your guitar ... Tchik, Tchik, Tchik ... All the convicts are crying. The wah wah we deal the final blow. Intense howls, has Belgium won the World Cup?
They continue with 'Nobody here but me' philosophical. It's your life andyou have only one, you do not shit!
Without respite: 'Crossroads', version of Eric Clapton.
'Redbone' in tribute to Leon Redbone, a little jazz distinguished.
The latest: 'The Light', title track of the last born. The light, a favorite subject. New space left for the boys, who took the opportunity to add John Lee Hooker and ZZ Top in the track.
Madness in the house, my neighbor excited blew our mugs on the table, three roosters play like crazy , the hen is back, she saw the light!
Nobody wants to believe that the party is over.
OK, OK, we quenches one’s thirst and play a third set, after ... Bye Bye Europe, back to California ...
Set 3
Dancers invaded the area opposite the stage, it’s the feast: 'The House is a rocking', Stevie Ray Vaughan ... Down around the corner Half a mile from here ... Godv. 'Long Train Runnin' Doobie Brothers to the best of southern rock!
Surprise, an old jazz track 'Why Do not You Do Right' directory of Peggy Lee ... get out of here and get me some money too ... Hey, you, yes you, man, give me your money ... The good guys put his money at the feet of the Lady. Matt, Peter and Rob transform the standard "Stray Cat Strut '... I do not bother chasing mice around ... You have to see her, the mouse, taking the pose like a cat ... she's got cat class and she's got cat style ... for sure!
A triumph!
No recall, cops obliged.
Anyway, 180 'together, who says better
