The Pick-Ups with Johnny J. Blair "Everybody Knows" remastered by Johnny J Blair published on 2023-02-28T05:48:54Z Right is wrong, wrong is right, There’s always some guy who’s-a lookin’ for a fight Everybody knows, what’s happenin’..” In many ways the lyrics in this song address current events. There are major problems on the landscape. Some people are in denial about what’s happening. Some go into civil discourse and action. Others open up a Fight Club. Which way are you going? The Pick-Ups are a celebrated Americana rock band from Wilkes-Barre PA. They are fronted by singer-songwriter Don Shappelle, an activist and former member of Pete Seeger’s folk music project, The Hudson River Sloop Singers. This song is one of Don's masterworks, and I had the privilege of producing and playing (Hammond B3 organ and gourd) on this track. It was mixed by Rusty Richards (Julie Miller, Brian Wilson). On a cosmic jukebox "Everybody Knows" (first released in 1994) would play next to Tom Petty and John Mellencamp. Personnel: Don Shappelle: lead vocals, rhythm guitar, percussion Lenny Kishel: lead guitar, harmony vocals Jeff "Corky" Corcoran: bass Terry "Snake" Renninger: drums & percussion with Johnny J Blair: organ & percussion Produced by Johnny J. Blair with Rusty Richards engineering. Genre Rock Comment by Falsestart Great performance guys! 2023-03-02T08:24:06Z
