Don Johnson - Heartache Away download free

Heartbeat - Don Johnson (LP/CD)Heartache away - Don Johnson (12”) 'Heartache away' 'Love roulette' 'Streetwise'The big star of the ‘Miami Vice’ TV series put out a vanity CD in 1986. He had enough cloutat the time to get SRV, Bonnie Raitt, Ron Wood, Willie Nelson, Dweezil Zappa, Dickie Bettsand Michael Des Barres on his album to help sales. The big mystery is the non-album B-side,the almost-7-minute-long ‘Streetwise’. SRV’s participation on this song has only now come tolight, 21 years after its release (and ‘discovered’ by yours truly…). The song is unavailable inthe US although it was used in an episode of ‘Miami Vice’, and on Johnson’s ‘Heart Beat’home video. It’s not actually documented anywhere that SRV plays on this song, but a lot 7 points to it, not least the playing. The song features as the B-side of the European 12” releaseof ‘Heartache away’ and ‘Love roulette’, the two songs from the album that SRV plays on.Writing credit is given to Johnson’s band, plus Dickie Betts, who only plays on one song onthe album; ‘Love roulette’. In fact one can count three distinctive guitar parts on ‘Streetwise’.There’s only one song on the album that credits so many guitar players; ‘Love roulette’. Thesong also features a wind section, as do only two songs on the album; one is ‘Love roulette’.It certainly appears that the line-up for ‘Streetwise’ and ‘Love Roulette’ are the same, andinclude SRV. But the most convincing argument is the playing itself; the style and even someof the phrasing is identical to SRV’s playing on James Brown’s ‘Living in America’ from theprevious year.
