Riding The Oblivion Express - with Brian Auger

•He’s played with Jimi Hendrix, Sonny Boy Williamson, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Page, Billy Cobham, Spencer Davies, Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart, John McLaughlin, Tom Jones, Eric Burdon and many, many more.

•With Julie Driscoll he had a huge hit with a masterful psychedelic rendition of Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire” 

 

•He's been hailed as the godfather of acid jazz, sampled by hip hop stars and nominated for a Grammy Award.

 

•At 82, BRIAN AUGER is still moving, grooving, sharp as a pin - and 'beginning again' as he says.

 

•We hear his extraordinary story and of the sign posts pointing the way on his musical journey - from the London Blitz - through the Soho jazz clubs of the 60s - to Venice Beach.

 

•Thanks to Greg Boroman and Karma Augur for making this happen.
