In five degrees connect:
Sheena Easton to The Autumn Defense
The Rules are: No covers, only legitimate collaboration that has been performed and for the most part recorded together. Covers and other familial relations may be used if you are really in a bind.
e.g. The Minutemen and The Grateful Dead
Minutemen > Mike Watt > Banyan > Rob Wasserman > Grateful Dead
Minutemen > Black Flag > Ryan Adams > Phil & Friends > Grateful Dead
Good call man, how bout this one:
ReplyDeleteMinutemen > Watt solo (ball hog or tug boat) > John Molo > Bruce Hornsby > Grateful Dead
or this one...
ReplyDelete1. Minutemen > Mike Watt
2. Mike Watt > Roger Miller (played together during Mission of Burma's reunion in LA)
3. Roger Miller > Lee Renaldo (same tour, plus some collaborative / experimental shows together)
4. Lee Renaldo > John Medeski (Lee Renaldo Project, Dylan Tribute @ Lincoln Center last month)
5. John Medeski > Phil & Friends (Summer 2006)
6. Phil > GD
Sheena E. > Prince > Michael Bland > Soul Asylum/Dave Pirner > Autumn Defense
ReplyDeleteDude, five steps is ridiculously hard (as evidenced by covers and y'all missing some steps in yours), but here it is in six:
ReplyDeleteMinutemen>Mike Watt>Gov't Mule>Warren Haynes>Phil & Friends>Grateful Dead
Mike Watt played bass on the Govt Mule album "The Deep End" and Warren Haynes of Govt Mule is an off-and-on a member of Phil and Friends.

ReplyDeleteAlso, a variation on the one i just posted:
ReplyDeleteMinutemen>Mike Watt>Gov't Mule>Gregg Allman>Grateful Dead
Gregg Allman also appeared on the Govt Mule album "The Deep End" (with Mike Watt) and later performed directly with Grateful Dead on the second show of 2/11/70 (also with ex-Fleetwood Mac Peter Green AND Arthur Lee of Love) and again during the encore of famed 7/28/73 at Watkins Glen.
A longer route for the original challenge:
ReplyDelete1. Sheena Easton > Kenny Rogers (in various duets in the 80s)
2. Kenny Rogers > Dolly Parton (dueted, 80s again)
3. Dolly Parton > Emmylou Harris (Trio)
4. Emmylou > Steve Earle (NUMEROUS duets)
5. Steve Earle > Woody Guthrie (in homage, at least, in the song "Christmas In Washington")
6. Woody Guthrie > Wilco (Mermaid Ave)
7. Wilco > John Stiratt (bass)
8. John Stiratt > The Autumn Defense
And down through the backroads:
8.1 The Autumn Defense > John Stiratt
8.2 John Stiratt > Wilco
8.3 Wilco > Jim O'Rourke (aka The Ruinator)
8.4 Jim O'Rourke > Sonic Youth (aka The Un-Ruinator)
8.5. Sonic Youth > J Mascis (ripping guitar solos on Goo.. but one of many collabs.)
8.6 J. Mascis > Mike Watt (playing together at The Wetlands in Fall 2000, as witnessed by myself & Hendo.. accompanied by Murph, and special guest Ron Asheton for like 6 Stooges covers!! You shoulda been there duuudes! (At least Rolling Stone was & snapped this sweet pic)
yo Shrimp Crack or Nihilist - throw a new one up.
ReplyDeletehere's one I gave to no name:
ReplyDeletenicolai dunger>daniel lanois in 5 steps, only using recorded collaborations (no played live with, no covers, no influenced by...etc)
also jay-z > tom waits
ReplyDeleteJay-Z>Phish>Medeski Martin>Marc Ribot>Tom Waits
ReplyDeleteJay-Z played with Phish summer 2004>Medeski Martin Wood have played with Phish a few times ('95)>Marc Ribot played guitar on MMW albums>Marc Ribot played guitar for Tom Waits (notably on Rain Dogs)
Hova>Rick Rubin>Smoky Hormel>Tom Waits
ReplyDeleteor
Hova > Rubin > Strummer > Hormel > Tom Waits
That's cooler and even better if you insert johnny cash into the middle.
Nicolai Dunger to Daniel Lanois in 4 steps:
ReplyDelete1. Will Oldham & his bros backed up Nicolai Dunger on his album Trainquil Isolation
2. Will Oldham recorded "I See A Darkness" with Johnny Cash
3. Johnny Cash recorded "Girl From The North Country" with Dylan
4. Daniel Lanois recorded Dylan's album "Oh Mercy"
S.C. - that's exactly what I had for Lanois to Dunger except U2 instead of Dylan.
