Mark Wenner, "Nothin' But" Vinyl Lp


Here's a vinyl rip from my collection of an out of print LP from The Nighthawks Harpist, Mark Wenner.

[A harp-blowing, multi-tattooed belter of blues, Wenner fronted Washington, D.C.'s...the Nighthawks for a bunch of years and has finally gone solo. The result is this fine, nondescript passel of a dozen odes to drinkin', carousin' and generally livin' the blues life...Wenner is a fine harp man, and...his stylish, if understated, backing band...includes the assertive guitar of Bob Margolin and the fat burbling upright bass of Jeff Sarli. Wenner's gritty, throaty vocals are perfectly suited for standard raunch like "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and "Nothin' But the Devil," and he acquits himself like a pro... ~ John Dougan, Option 27_89, All Music Guide]

Up the line
I Live The Life I Love
Nothin' But The Devil
Don't Go No Further
Too Young To Know
Rollin' And Tumblin'
My Starter Won't Start
Temperature
Sugarsweet
Made Up My Mind
Chitlins Con Carne
The Stuff you Gotta Watch



30MB, WMA 9.1 VBR, 38 Minutes

Mark said...

Jim, listening to the Wenner "Nothin But..." right now....outstanding! This is a very clean vinyl rip in FLAC. Your work is appreciated! Cheers, Mark/VanFan

Camarillo Brillo said...

Yeah...hadn't heard it a long time myself...pretty dang sweet actually!

Mark said...

Jim,


Here is another Mark Wenner "out of print" rarity....

https://www77.zippyshare.com/v/8bbDB73o/file.html

enjoy!

Mark

Camarillo Brillo said...

Sweeet! Actually been looking for this for a while now.
Thanks!

I have "Runs Good: Needs Paint" (2000)if you don't have it.

Mark said...

Jim,

That would be great! (Runs Good Needs Paint)

Do you have the 2002 release called Mark Wenner and the BelAirs "Mama Tried" - I have a rip if you need it. I could post it on wetransfer for you. It opens up with a very WHFS sounding instrumental....that DJ Adele would have played back in the day...."If Glen Could Swing" classic!

Let me know....

Thanks!

Mark

Camarillo Brillo said...

Here's "Runs Good, Needs Pain"

Don't have "Mama Tried"
Would like that link please!

Mark said...

Jim,

Thanks....

Here you go!

Mark Wenner and the BelAirs "Mama Tried" in 320 (rare rip)

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/1fbdb00dac88970ab771bf71d57a582620190228164851/28393aca1ba976ac7ab73f4351983b6920190228164851/d44b35

Tell me that the opener "If Glen Could Swing" would have been perfect for an "Adele" set of WHFS toonage!

Enjoy!

Mark

Camarillo Brillo said...

Ah, those great boogie woogie tunes that Adele and the rest of the crew used to entertain us with!

Mark said...

Jim,

I remember how much the DJ's at HFS loved the Joe Jackson Jumpin' Jive record....and the Widespread Depression Orchestra "Barnyard Boogie" etc. POWERHOUSE too! Those were the days....

Mark

Camarillo Brillo said...

Yes! All great stuff! Broadened my musical taste to the Nth degree!

Mark said...

Jim,

Do you have The Nighthawks 1980 album on MERCURY records? The one with "Pretty Girls Cadillacs" and "Back To the City" ? If so, could I request a vinyl rip in lossless FLAC format? Thanks in advance! Yes, HFS was the real deal!

Mark

Camarillo Brillo said...

I don't actually have it. What I do have is a cassette tape of that album recorded from WAVA back in June 16 1980. It sounds pretty dang sweet for an almost 40 year old tape! Thackery playing some pretty tasty licks on I Wouldn't Treat A Dog...
Scanned the tape, and stole some album scans off the inter webs...Enjoy!

Jim,

That is great! I have the vinyl....but needed a mobile version for my mp3 listening pleasure in the car etc. Love this album. Thank you!

You're welcome....

What This Is All About

I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.

I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.

I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........

Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.

Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!

If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!

I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
