Another one:

Ah, this one's a beauty. Matt playing some soulful gospel/country piano with Mavis Staples.

 

(Off topic: Speaking of Mavis Staples, I can recommend the album We'll never turn back, which Ry Cooder produced and played on. Great gospel/blues/freedom songs album.)

Ah, this one's a beauty.

Love this. The tune is very beautiful, one of my old favourites, and Matt is amazing here.
I love also these pieces with Lyle Lovett, brilliant Matt:

 

 

 

I wonder if it possible to find that full A&E Live by Request show anywhere, dream about it.

[Jules]

Matt Rollings was the piano player of Lyle Lovett's band for a long long time.

I wonder if Matt was in his band when Lyle was the support act for the Dire Straits european summer concerts and if Mk met him then... a question for Guy?

 

[dreamsound]

jbaent, when was this? Year?

[Jackal]

Lyle opened for Dire Straits in Europe during the On Every Street tour. Can't find any info on Lyle's band at that time. But I seem to remember Guy or Richard writing that Matt was introduced to Mark via Jim Cox when Jim started having ear problems.

Thanks Jackal. I doubt Matt was with LL band on that tour, he never told about it.

[Rollergirl]

Thanks Jackal. I doubt Matt was with LL band on that tour, he never told about it.

He wasn't at Wobburn Abbey  show in 92, that's sure, so my guess is that he wasn't part of the band then.

By the way I love Lyle!

Matt played on Golden Heart, so that was before the ear problems.
