Released in 1970 to fill the gap between Stand! and There's a Riot Goin' On, Sly and the Family Stone's Greatest Hits compiles many of the top tracks from the band's early years. While every song on this album is also contained on the later Anthology release along with selections from their later catalog, this is in most ways a superior album.
From their moniker to their setlists to their personalities everything about Give Us The Money Lebowski comes in the name of having fun. These guys just want everyone (including themselves) to have a good time at their shows. Consider the mission accomplished: GUTML jammed for three hours on a batch of amazing covers and one audacious original during a late August Rocks Off cruise around the bottom of Manhattan.
Wanting to make sure they got to play as much music as possible, Lebowski started their rendition of the Velvet Underground’s Rock N Roll as soon as the boat pulled away from the pier at East 23rd. The boys jammed the hell out of the tune for nearly 20 minutes before they worked their way into Also Sprach Zarathustra. The song commonly referred to as 2001 started with guitarist Chris Cartelli adding a unique pattern to the familiar theme. Lead guitarist Nick Setteducato and bass player Mike Sojkowski quickly picked up what Cartelli was layin’ down, and they proceeded to accentuate the phrase nicely for the next 10 minutes. Now that’s fuckin’ teamwork!

My sister just gave birth to her second son. One of the first things she said to me about having two sons was “now they can form a band.” Over the course of rock history there have been many pairs of brothers that have achieved major success.

Neal [organ] and Alan [drums] Evans make up two thirds of the soulful trio known as Soulive. The Evans boys cut their teeth by playing with Moon Boot Lover in the mid ’90s before forming Soulive with Eric Krasno in 1999. Neal is an incredibly percussive musician who plays organ with one hand and a bass keyboard with the other. Alan is the king of inventive fills, always thinking of new ways to push the music. Soulive recently released No Place Like Soul on the revamped Stax label.
