Didn't Johnny O have a Son - Shuggie - who was slated to set the Rock World afire, in the late 60's?
Yes. I don't know too much about him, he was apparently a guitarist in the funk rock vein. I've heard one track by Shuggie (on Bernie Taupin's American Roots Radio Show on Sirius that I'm always raving about on here). I recall liking it OK.

The Silos at Tim Kimrey's house (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, c. 2004)




The greatest American band you never heard of, The Silos were Uncle Tupelo before Uncle Tupelo was Uncle Tupelo. Their classic 1987 album Cuba is the link between Cowpunk and the later alt.country movement.

But they never broke through commercially, and went through various labels and line-ups. Still, led by songwriter Walter Salas-Humara, they soldier on, releasing an album in 2011.

This is a homemade video of a house show (Walter: "I've never been in a house show before... I've never been to a house show before.") held at the private residence of a Chapel Hill artist.
