Classic Music Friday: Crimson Calamity and Denny Tedesco

Alternative Country duo Crimson Calamity,  Lauren Harding and past Music FridayLive! guest Mallory Trunnell are no strangers to intricate songwriting and the bright lights of the stage on their own, but together, they deliver firecracker lyrics and glistening harmonies.Crimson Calamity was born from an initial songwriting experiment that turned out the hard hitting single, “Line ‘em Up and Shoot ‘em Down.” which became the catalyst that inspired them to take their collaborative style to the next level.  Their debut EP, “All in the Cards” is built on  country-rock with a little blues for color. They just released their CD so this interview from March will re-acquaint everyone to these two hot talents

Denny Tedesco joins us for the  opening of his documentary film, The Wrecking Crew,  about a group of studio musicians in Los Angeles in the  60s and 70's who played on hits for the "Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher, Jan & Dean, The Monkees, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Mamas and Papas, Tijuana Brass, Ricky Nelson, Johnny Rivers and were Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. They were led by Tommy Tedesco, Denny's father, and became the sound of rock and roll in its birth years, playing on literally thousands of recordings, regardless of whose name was on the cover. The film is now out and playing nationwide, so listen to this interview from a few months ago and then go see the film.
