I just finished listening to all 10 tracks of \u201cHis Story\u201d. You\u2019re really moving the music forward. Your inten<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>on is clear. The Jimi connec<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>on is strong. You got some great guys with you. I was lucky enough to see Jimi jam with Sly Stone at a small Greenwich Village club in 1969. I love what you did with \u201cManic Depression,\u201d complete with Band Of Gypsies bassist Billy Cox. And what a rarity you pulling out Jimi\u2019s \u201cRemember\u201d!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Greg Sover: It was only released in Europe originally, and posthumously in the States. Jimi wanted to redo that song with Billy Cox but his untimely death stopped that from happening. Billy suggested we do that one. The word through the grapevine is that it\u2019s been collecting dust in the vault.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: I can\u2019t imagine how Billy must\u2019ve felt when Jimi passes so unexpectedly considering the musical plans they had together.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: It still gets to him to this day. You could hear it when he speaks about Jimi. It goes beyond missing his good friend. Billy was truly devastated. It was so abrupt. Don\u2019t forget how close they were. They were in the Army together. They were friends when Jimi was with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding in the Experience. They were best friends when he and Jimi were with drummer Buddy Miles in The Band Of Gypsies. You don\u2019t talk to Billy nowadays about that subject. I asked him once and that was it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: God knows what they could\u2019ve done together had Jimi lived. The song itself is a surprisingly sweet melodic upbeat tune. You said when you first heard it, the original guitar solo by Jimi \u201cwas so underplayed, I could hardly make it out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: That\u2019s correct. There was a solo section where you could profoundly hear the beginning but you had to strain to hear exactly what he was doing at the tail end of it. It was just so hard to hear. I don\u2019t know if it was a mixing thing or not. I\u2019m pretty sure he was playing something that he had clean in his mind at the time but it was just so buried in the mix. Not that I had to make up my own solo, but I had to really concentrate to hear what he was trying to do. So, I put my own personal spin on that.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: Billy Cox has been already quoted as saying that Jimi would\u2019ve loved what you did with it. How\u2019d you get to hook up with him?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Through our managers. I had this crazy idea about recording a cover of \u201cManic Depression.\u201d I mean, that song just fit the album so well in terms not only musically but on topic and what I was trying to talk about lyrically. So, my manager reached out to his manager and Billy reached back out to us. We went to Nashville from my home base of Philadelphia, met up with him, and found he was such a cool guy. We met his family and friends too. We wound up doing a video together.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: You really made \u201cManic Depression\u201d come alive. That\u2019s a song ripe for interpreta<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>on, especially today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: That\u2019s a lot of heart right there in that particular song. I didn\u2019t want to just show the listener that I could play Jimi Hendrix. I wanted to show how I could listen to Jimi Hendrix to come up with something both on course as well as adding modern flair. Pay attention to the tradition. Not rearrange. Not making it obscure, but adding a modern twist to what Jimi brought to the table to make me love that song in the first place. There\u2019s some true chaos going on in that song.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: It&#8217;s almost as if Jimi\u2019s ghost is a spectral presence hovering over these 10 tracks, not just the two covers with Cox. Your lyrics for \u201cFreedom Part #2\u201d delve into the Black experience of trying to live peacefully in America. Jimi wrote and recorded the original \u201cFreedom\u201d as a credo of personal liberation with Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell just months before he died in London September 18, 1970. It was released posthumously as the opening track on The Cry Of Love, March 5, 1971.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Along with that experience, it\u2019s the whole \u201cfight for freedom\u201d aspect. I\u2019ve observed that whenever somebody does something in the name of freedom, they\u2019re either ridiculed or cancelled out. The song is about our freedoms, the protests, the necessary reaction to things, like how football player Colin Kaepernick -whether you agree with him or not- had the freedom to take a knee during the National Anthem in protest at how Blacks are treated in this country. He was ridiculed for that. There\u2019s been other instances as well. I was attacking a society that rails against such personal values when I wrote \u201cis freedom mine? Is freedom free? Because look at the pain freedom\u2019s costing me!\u201d I mean, think about it, if every time we make an act of freedom like Colin Kaepernick did at the expense of his career, you\u2019re put down or made fun of. You\u2019re ridiculed. You\u2019re cancelled and not existent anymore. That knee one player took kinda started everything. He made a major sacrifice for what he believed.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-55265 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Sover &amp; Billy Cox\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverBillyCox-700x466.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MG: That\u2019s the mark of a great piece of music, that you can expound upon important themes, yet make it sound so damn good that it\u2019s left to the listener as to whether they want to go deep to truly understand or just wanna groove at the impeccable playing on a more surface level. Both are valid. Similarly, \u201cDark House\u201d is so damn mysterious and drama<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>c, no wonder you made it the opening track! It sets the scene, so to speak, for the rest of the record.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Yeah, that\u2019s why it\u2019s the opener. I have a core audience now. I wanted to give them a little something different. I\u2019ve been in a blues-rock bag for so long, it was time. \u201cDark House\u201d is a true story. My mom had passed away. I had to take care of the house. There were times I just had to leave and stay with a friend overnight but I\u2019d always have to return to that dark house. The lights were out. It had no power. My aunt -living there at the time- would light candles. I\u2019m Haitian, and I used a Haitian vernacular that most people won\u2019t understand but it means \u201cyou can\u2019t hide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: It&#8217;s very cinema<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>c.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Thank you for that. Plus, I thought it sounded cool. It\u2019s like you said. Most will dig the vibe without knowing the meaning but that\u2019s cool too.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: That duality of just good rockin\u2019 music or music-with-message is up to the listener. You got it goin\u2019 on both ways. \u201cTempta<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>on\u201d has a Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas blues vibe to it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: I\u2019m a huge Stevie Ray fan. I remember learning blues guitar from a good friend of mine in Philadelphia who used to tell me, \u201cdon\u2019t play too much of that SRV stuff.\u201d To me, I still think you get a splash of Philly in it but it does give out that reminder as far as pure sound of what its roots are.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: Stevie Ray loved Jimi. Covered him up amongst the best of anybody. Over and above Billy Cox, you got some real heavyweights in your band: David Uosikkinen, the drummer of The Hooters, and bassist Kenny Aaronson who\u2019s played with everyone from Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer and Billy Idol to Joan Jet and Hall &amp; Oates.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GS: We\u2019ve played only a few shows together but boy do they fit! I was introduced to Dave and Kenny and we kinda just hit it off. We\u2019re cut from the same musical cloth. That rock\u2019n\u2019roll\/classic rock\/blues cloth. So, we dug each other immediately from that end of things. They\u2019re such a pleasure to play with. Love those guys. That Kenny -beyond who he\u2019s played with- is one bad-ass player. Oh, my goodness! The guy can play! He can really shred on that bass. I asked him about playing with Dylan and he just said Dylan stays to himself and doesn\u2019t interact much offstage with the guys in his band.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: I heard you don\u2019t speak to him unless he speaks to you first. And you\u2019re told beforehand to avoid eye contact.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Kenny told me he keeps to himself. A lot of artists, once they reach a certain level, are like that. Not sure, though, if there\u2019s any artist who has reached Bob\u2019s particular level. He\u2019s above an icon. I don\u2019t know what the designation would be for someone like him.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: You\u2019ve played guitar in so many bands. Tell me about playing guitar in boxer Joe Frazier\u2019s band. That\u2019s a real Philly thing!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Unfortunately, it was all in rehearsal. Before we had our first gig, he had to go to the hospital. And he passed away shortly thereafter. I won my audition and was really psyched. It\u2019s a shame. I was ready to go, man. I mean, he seemed fine. I was talking to him and he had this really young girlfriend at his side. Next thing I hear, he\u2019s really sick. And he didn\u2019t make it. I only got to rehearse with him once after the audition.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: Where was that picture taken of you and your red Strat on the cover of \u201cHis-Story\u201d?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Nashville in front of an HBCU [Historically Black College or University]. On Jefferson Street, just a few doors down, there was a \u201cBattle of the Guitars\u201d that Jimi was in and lost because of equipment failure. I don\u2019t even think he was Jimi Hendrix yet. He probably was still Jimmy James at the time. The guy who won just happened to have a better amp. So, he won by default. A lot of great musicians passed by that street. It\u2019s a historic location.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-55267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lahoradelblues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FotoGregSoverCDCover.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Sover.

He\u2019s my partner in this project. We\u2019re trying to make it into a real label, not just an avenue for myself. I mean, I do want to get established a little more with my own record but we hope to sign other artists at some point. I like the concept of keeping the legacy going, and helping a whole lot of artists on the way up. Help them not to make some of the mistakes I\u2019ve made. Give them the kind of opportunities I didn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: I understand you co-produced \u201cHis-Story\u201d as well. Tell us of the crea<\/em><em>ti<\/em><em>ve process.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: Jim Salamone, who\u2019s worked with Sigma Sound, is a good friend. He\u2019s a real serious cat. As far as the process goes, I\u2019ll write the songs, record the demo versions with my guitar and a drum-beat sample before taking it into Cambridge Studios in south Philly to get the band behind it with Dave on drums and Kenny on bass. I\u2019ll redo my guitar and vocals, and we\u2019d produce and arrange. We\u2019d add what we have to add, and redo the solos until they\u2019re just right. I\u2019m very proud of this album.<\/p>\n<p><em>MG: It\u2019s your fourth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GS: I\u2019m proud of Songs of a Renegade in 2016, Jubilee in 2018 and Parade in 2020. But HIS-STORY shows the growth. I was kinda still figuring things out on the first two. Parade shows some understanding of the process, at least to me, although I was a little short, it having only seven tracks. So now, with me knowing what I know, especially as I wrote it, I feel I finally put it all together. It\u2019s a little more polished but still shows the innocence I want in my music. The raw aspect. You never want to get too polished. I feel like I definitely know what I\u2019m doing now. I\u2019m 38, and feel young enough to put what I\u2019ve learned into practice. I feel no different from when I was 17. It\u2019s all about how you feel. I\u2019ll be 70 and still feel like this. Age is not real. Time is not real. It\u2019s all an illusion.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;justificar&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;55263&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;justificar&#8221; width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] One-On-One With Greg Sover by Mike Greenblatt Mike Greenblatt, author of \u201cWoodstock: Back To Yasgur\u2019s Farm\u201d, speaks to fellow Hendrix-Head Greg Sover, about \u201cHis-Story\u201d, Sover\u2019s fourth album,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55263,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,73,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-interviews","category-interviews","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
