Back to leafing through Bertie the dog's record collection. Last time, we looked at Free Electric Band frontman and amateur meteorologist, Albert Hammond. It was obvious then that we should do a follow-up post about his son...
Junior has been releasing solo records for getting on for twenty years now, although he's slightly more famous for being the guitarist in The Strokes. Although he's not the lead singer or primary songwriter (that job goes to Julian Casabalancas... whom I suspect is adored by our very first Bertie, Mr. Higgins)... he is the one strumming away at probably the most recognisable Strokes riff below...
Next time, another guitar player... in fact, the first British guitarist to have a hit record in the UK singles chart. Who dat?
Bert Weedon?

ReplyDeleteI didn't know Albert Hammond had a son of the same name. Thanks for educating me.
I went to see the younger Bert Hammond play live a few years ago - promoting his debut solo album. He was way better than I imagined he would be, so much so that I bought a t-shirt from his merch stall.
