Dave Alvin & The Guilty Ones "Johnny Ace Is Dead"

[@Teachering]

I've only just discovered this guy while checking out music on Amazon. I'm a blues lover and I also really go for roadhouse. I think that what is most impressive about Dave Alvin, other than that he puts his heart in to what he does, is how his songs tell a story. I'll have to listen to some more of this guy. I like what I hear.

So me. Today.

I'm 62, been a music addict for 50 of those years. Huge fan of Alvin, from the beginnings with his bro Phil as The Blasters. So nice to see him still in top form. BTW, this song is based on a true story...Johnny Ace was the real deal.

[@mtbluzman]

Bruce MacLean the " Blasters" man am I gettin old

[@MCBlakeD]

@JEANNE0416 The man on the Tele is "All Killer, No Filler" Chris Miller!

[@busterlives]

It's amazing, Dave Alvin's song covers the same ground as the book The Death Of Johnny Ace by Steve Bergsman. Both terrific tales of the late, great R&B singer Johnny Ace.

[@12symon]

Dave Alvin the artist, the bad-ass blues-rock lead guitar-player...& songwriter extraordinaire...

Lisa Pankratz poundin' the circles

[@johnthompson1918]

Dude ROCKS!!!

[@3pupsters]

I lost track of D.A. way back when the Blasters folded. I heard "Dirty Nightgown" on the local NPR station and am soooooo happy to find Dave Alvin again. Too bad I missed 20-plus years of his music. Eric

Dave Alvin is truly bad-ass...and this band is great.

[@TheyRThem]

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Garry Spooner You need to find The Blasters! That's his and his brother Phils band. Awesome stuff.

[@Guitargazza1]

dean mccaskill thanks Dean will have to look them up for sure

[@badbadmanly903]

Garry Spooner, the Blasters were the band in the movie Streets of Fire. Playing One Bad Stud. Dave Alvin was also the guitarist for X after the original guy left. Saw him in '84. But the stuff he does as himself or with the guilty ones, etc is by far his best iMovie.

[@knucklebut420]

God I love this !!!!!!!!!

[@delbertboese]

[@actlloyd]

Stunning!!! Man, this is real music! The king of California sure can play the guitar!

[@Bobsully1952]

[@artboy11000]

Any song that references Don Robey is in my Hall Of Fame. Dave+Lisa+Brad+Christy+Chris totally tear this bastard up.

[@seanfannin3453]

Damn what a heater!

[@sharonrush9457]

Nice

[@koyuncumuti]

Süpersin Adamım 👍🏼

[@dnauheim]

Dage Alvin is playing a strat. I was asking about the tele player!

[@holyspacemonkey]

🔥!!

[@peterferrydriver]

Yay Lisa!

[@g.stephens263]

Great story line...Don Robey, denizen of the old "Chitlin' Circuit"!

[@johnmuller5750]

Dave Fuckin' Alvin!!

[@damingafour]

Smokin!

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Just posted a 78 of Johnny Ace ( even though the image is of 45)- look for Lloyd Price & Johnny Ace. He was a very gifted man, just stupid.

[@12symon]

She was his ''Dave Alvin & The Guilty WOMEN'' CD, where ALL musician's save Dave are women...good CD...

[@dnauheim]

Who is that mean tele player?

[@bobturano3437]

Very cool...highway music...

[@PorticoMono]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it already but the lyrics are inaccurate. The pistol was a .32 calibre. Not a .22 ;). Johnny Ace might have lived with a .22. lmao

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Still a great song.

[@Maradriella]

who is this woman? Is she one of the Guilty ones....and what is she guilty of??

[@Wossvegan113]

like it when they go Dynamic

[@reveddro319]

Dave fuckin' Alvin......kicks it bitches!!!

[@leegamiese5737]

!!!

[@12symon]

sorry. He DOES introduce everyone near the very END o/t veideo/song...

[@rom661]

Two members of the Guilty Women on this. Seen him three times, once with the ladies. Shame about the fiddle player. I suspect they were close.

[@coolfool60]

THAT'S THE MIGHTY LISA P FROM THE RONNIE DAWSON BAND ON DRUMS.A TRUE ROCKNROLL QUEEN!

[@12symon]

Chris Miller?

[@thomashermann4431]

Dave The Man Alvin !!
