Born Salvatore Willard Spampinato in 1942,Sal Valentino achieved successin his early 20s, and then went down hill from there.
SanFrancisco music writer Joel Selvin traced the entire arc ina 2006 piece for the Examiner.Around 2002, Valentino started aslow comeback playing open mic nights as a solo acoustic actin the Sacramento area. There he met Jackie Greene, a dude in his mid-20s at thetime, who has since scored successes as a solo artist (his2003 Gone Wanderin' CD stayed on the Americana chartsfor over a year) and been a band member of Phil Lesh andFriends. Greene, who has modeled himself after a youngBob Dylan, has an affinity for classic rock figures and hehas helped champion Valentino's comeback. In fact, he wrotea song for Valentino, a live performance of which is shownin the video in the right column, shot at The Palms venue in Winters,California (Sacramento area).Sal Valentino at The Palms in Winters, California JINX JONESJinx Jones left Colorado years ago for life on theWest Coast where he morphed into one of the great Rockabillyplayers working anywhere today, not that Rockabilly iscurrently in vogue.

Eight of these songs are Strifleroriginals, ranging in feel from Rag Time Jazz to Caribbean Calypso to Blues, thelatter being Volker's main calling card. Strifler, whose musical associationshave included Robben Ford, The Ford Blues Band, and Chris Cain, always comesacross as a true believer, a guy who grew up listening to American Blues andAmericana in general, and incorporated those influences into his being. Hisauthentic American Blues wail always comes across as a surprise, but a good one,and he is a knowledgeable composer, which sometimes seems like the greatest ofhis considerable skills.
