8 Also see our books: Fender Precision Basses Keith Ferguson: Texas Blues Bass Introduced in 1951, the Fender Precision Bass is the precursor of all modern electric basses. This book takes a look at the history of the slab body basses and the most famous players. In addition to many historical photos, the full color book lists many basses with beautiful pictures, detail shots, and anecdotes. This book is a must-have for every bass player and enthusiast or collector. Hundreds of never before published photographs and personal documents are shown for the first time. The chapters include: the Houston Days, California Years with the Black Kangaroo band, Early Austin Years with the band Solid Senders, Fabulous Thunderbird Years, The Tail Gator Years (earning Keith a Grammy award with the Big Guitars of Texas band), and the Late Austin Years. As an added bonus Detlef Schmidt features all the main bass guitars that Keith played with the Fabulous Thunderbirds and the Tail Gators in highly detailed pictures. Included are several pages of music tabs and notation showing Keith s bass playing style, plus a complete recording discography. A musthave book for every bass player!

9 HIT LIST R E V I E W S Some among the cognoscenti argue that there are two bassists in the blues world that define the genre Chess mastermind Willie Dixon on the upright and Keith Ferguson on electric. This illustrated book, complete with a gallery of Ferguson s basses and musical notations of his playing, is a fitting tribute to the latter. Ferguson was the bottom line for the early incarnation of the Fabulous Thunderbirds Keith Ferguson (right) with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, circa Girls Go Wild in the glory days with Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson, including the band s landmark debut 1979 LP, Girls Go Wild, and through the early 80s. But his resumé also included stints with Johnny Winter, Angela Strehli, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Doug Sahm, Freddie Fender, the Tail Gators, and Teisco Del Rey. The list of cohorts and sideman gigs doesn t get at the importance of Ferguson s playing, though. A southpaw, he flipped his 52 Precision Bass over and played backwards, as Billy F. Gibbons terms it in his foreword. But he also played differently, as many fellow musician in these pages attest: His bass lines could be likened to the minimalistic and eminently stylish guitarwork of Jimmie Vaughan. Vaughan too adds a foreword here. He talks of his first meeting with Ferguson (Austin, 69), his sartorial and playing styles ( smooth and unique ), his incredible blues-record collection (that inspired much of the Texas blues revival of the day), and good and bad times in the T-birds (plenty of both). This 320-page, oversize, softcover book is ripe with recollections from fellow musicians, friends, and family members and must include nearly every concert photo, promo shot, and snapshot of Ferguson extant. The material could have been whittled down some and might have made for a stronger book, but suffice it to say that a second volume will not be required. Also included are 27 pages of bass pornography: the serial numbers, history, and numerous photos of Ferguson s main axes, including his famous 56 P-Bass with the cowhide pickguard, several other 50s Precisions, a Harmony H22-1, Telecaster Bass, National bass, and the Guero Caster, a Hondo bass that Ferguson customized. Keith s 56 Precision Bass, complete with cowhide pickguard. Finally, there are eight pages of transcriptions working out his bass stylings on a mix of tunes: Slim Harpo s Scratch My Back, Extra Jimmies and The Crawl by the T-birds, and more.
