      Rig Rundown – Samantha Fish 2013

      omg. in the rig rundown she mentions that she covers RL Burnside. i’m in love. please, take my money, gimme all your musics. And! She plays a resonator dobro. omg.

      Samantha Fish grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. Fish started out playing drums, but when she was 15 she switched to the guitar. Fish frequently went to the Knuckleheads Saloon to hear touring Blues artists. After turning 18, she often joined in with the singers and bands who were performing at Knuckleheads.[2][3] Early influences on Fish were Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow. Stevie Ray Vaughan was also a major influence on her.[2]

      Career[edit]
      In 2009, Fish recorded and produced Live Bait. The live album attracted the attention of a talent company, who recommended her to Ruf Records.[2] Ruf Records put together a record with Fish and two other female blues artists, Cassie Taylor and Dani Wilde, titled Girls with Guitars. The three guitarists then toured on the Ruf Records 2011 Blues Caravan in the U.S. and Europe.[citation needed]

      Fish continued touring with the Samantha Fish Band, featuring “Go-Go Ray” Pollard on drums and Chris Alexander on bass, playing in Europe and the United States. In 2011, Fish recorded Runaway with the help of her mentor Mike Zito. The album won the 2012 Blues Music Award for Best New Artist.[2]

      Fish appeared on Devon Allman’s 2013 album Turquoise in a duet covering the Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks’ song “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.[4] During the summer of 2013, Fish was called up on stage to play with a skeptical Buddy Guy who was so impressed with her playing on the guitar, he declared with a beaming smile to his audience, “When this kind of shit happens, I’ll play all night!”[5]

      In 2013, Fish released her second major studio album, Black Wind Howlin’, featuring Mike Zito on guitar, Yonrico Scott on drums, Johnny Sansome on harmonica, and Paul Thorn, vocal duet on one track.[2] The album was recorded in Dockside Studios, in Maurice, Louisiana. Mike Zito’s bandmates from his group Royal Southern Brotherhood, Yonrico Scott and Charlie Wooton, were brought in to assist in the session recordings.[3]

      Also in 2013, Fish appeared on The Healers Live at Knuckleheads Saloon, producing a CD/DVD collaboration with Jimmy Hall, Reese Wynans, Kate Moss, and Danielle and Kris Schnebelen (sister and brother, formerly of the band Trampled Under Foot). Proceeds benefit the Blue Star Connection. The Healers occasionally perform together as their schedule permits.[citation needed]

      Fish’s third studio album, Wild Heart was released on July 10, 2015. The new album is more roots rock than her earlier blues rock.[citation needed] Fish wrote five songs on the record. She co-wrote five other songs with Jim McCormick in Nashville, Tennessee. Luther Dickinson produced the album, as well as played various stringed instruments (guitar, bass, mandolin, lap steel) to flesh out the sound.[6] The album was recorded in four studios, Royal Studios and Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, Zebra Ranch in Coldwater, Mississippi, and Blade Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana.[7] Other musicians on the record are Brady Blade (drums), Lightnin’ Malcolm (guitar), Shardé Thomas (drums), Dominic Davis (bass), Shontelle Norman-Beatty (background vocals), and Risse Norman (background vocals).[citation needed]

      Fish released her fourth solo album, Chills & Fever on March 17, 2017.[8] The album was recorded in Detroit and was recorded with members of the band The Detroit Cobras. Bobby Harlow produced the album.[9]

      I grew up in Kansas City. That’s when I was playing guitar years ago. I used to be a regular in all the music shops there always daydreaming and trying to upgrade. Saw most of the people who were professional musicians then. That was way before her time though. Lots of really awesome players there but few ever make it big.

      Cheap Guitars (with some exceptions) play just about as good as expensive ones. It's your ability combined with an awesome amp that makes the difference.

      Thanks SB for the links from your list on the RID2 thread, appreciate your taking the time to find and repost them, I will enjoy it and will listen to them all. I like this stuff from Samantha Fish.

      First song reminded me abit of Amy Winehouse, sadly gone. I liked Amy’s stuff, she had a new take on old covers and a different vibe and I watched everything she did on youtube, and it will be remembered.

      yup I agree! And the RL Burnside covers & tone. just, wow. and some of these live shows where there’s occasional glimpses of the audience.. small places, much older crowd, kind of speechless that she is not selling out arenas. I never got into Bonamassa, something about his guitar tone or note choices, not sure what, never grabbed me, but Fish, wow. dayyyum. (and my opinion of her music is independent of her amazingly hot legs tho those are awesome too)

      if you dont see some videos in the post (not loading) it’s because of a forum bug. just look up the titles on youtube.

      Nice tone here. She breaks the rules of have excessive distance on her fretting hand to fretboard, but for blues like this it really works ok for her. Watched the oil can and cigarbox videos too. Good example of simplistic blues based soloing that just sounds good, not hyper speed shredding just nice gritty blues.

      I think those are chulahoma style licks and/or it’s a chulahoma song cover. Check out Black Keys Chulahoma album which is a tribute to that style. All those outside-the-delta-country blues guys who are recently gone. I think part of that style is harmonizing the vocals perfectly with the licks like she does in that first verse. Totally awesome sound. Maybe especially good for a 3-piece because it makes the band sound even bigger. I thought I might try to cover some of her stuff when I first heard it, but her hybrid picking is outta sight. The band is so super tight too.

      Gritty is right, I guess that’s why I like it over some other blues artists who play with cleaner tone. lol gimme the fuzzzzz anyday over the clean tone for the blues.. 😀 I guess in general overall, her style is just more aggressive and metal. Definitely want to see her live, she has just a few dates on the west coast.
