| Comment | Warren Haynes - Lead guitar Dennis Robbins - Slide guitar, rhythm guitar, backing vocals Mickey Hayes - Bass Guitar, backing vocals Mark Dever - Drums Tommy Irwin - Steel Guitar From STG when this was posted a while back. Hey man, My name is Brian Hayes and I wanted to let you know the deal with the Rich Hippies recording you?ve got here. My dad played bass for them. He and Warren got the band together back in the summer of 1985 when they lived together in Antioch, TN, a small county in Nashville. I posted a pic of the band at http://www.allmanbrothersband..howpic&pid=3567&orderby=dateD . The band's name was "Rich Hippies", not Warren Haynes and the Rich Hippies. >From left to right in the pic, they are: Dennis Robbins - Slide guitar and rhythm guitar, backing vocals, Mickey Hayes (my dad) - Bass Guitar and backing vocals, Mark Dever - Drums, Warren Haynes - Lead guitar, and sitting on my dad's anvil briefcase, Tommy Irwin - Steel Guitar. Warren does not play slide on any of these recordings; it is Dennis that you hear. This was a project that my dad and Warren did as a lark after they and everyone else left The David Allan Coe Band, and also to fill time in between gigs so they could make some money around town. They only played a few shows here and there before getting better paying jobs on the road. This was recorded in the kitchen of my Dad and Warren's house in Antioch, Tennessee with 2 Shure 58 mics, one on a stand about ten feet from the band and one on the floor on a pillow between the kick drum and bass amp. The vocals where recorded later in the bathroom and the "audience" you here is from an old live record they had, that they spliced in the crowd sounds from. I can't remember the LP used. The song listed as track 2 is not "Wild Fire", but is called "Bad News". There are not any other recordings, except for a possible show done in Charlotte, NC at a club that used to be called Harley Hog and The Rockers, don't know if it is still there. By the way, my dad was the person who found Warren in Asheville, and got him his job with David Allan Coe. They lived together until Warren was in about his second year with the ABB, and moved to New York. I am posting this to the ABB board too, so they know the deal. My dad and I where wondering where did you get these from? The only copies known were the ones he and I had, and Warren, Tommy, Dennis, and Mark. A few demos might have been sent out to some clubs, but not many. Just wondering. Well, just wanted to let you know. Thanks.
