This week’s top 10 on No Treble includes two bass videos, a new interview with Mike Devol, new tour announcements, albums, and more. Here’s the best of No Treble for the week of February 12-18.

Don Marcotte shared a video with a bassist we hadn’t featured before. Don calls Dave Chabot “one of Canada’s gems who epitomizes what a great bassist must do in terms of support of the song”. Here he is doing just that with Jack Semple.

Vulfpeck shared this video, with this note: “it started as a bad idea… and became less bad… it’s good.” Fearless Flyers with Joe Dart, Cory Wong, and Mark Lettieri on bass along with Nate Smith on drums? Yeah, we’d say that’s better than good.

The REO Brothers are back proving yet again they can take on just about anything. In this video, they perform the Peter & Gordon hit song, “I Go To Pieces”.

It feels like I pre-ordered Khruangbin and Leon Bridges’s new album, “Texas Moon”, a long, long time ago. It finally drops in a couple of days. Here’s the official video for “B-Side”, the album’s second track.

Back in 2020, Lake Street Dive took Halloween to a whole new level with a rooftop remake performance of the Beatles’ “Don’t Let Me Down”. Yesterday, they released another rooftop remake, with their cover of “Two of Us”.

Time for your weekly roundup of the top stories on No Treble. And this week was a great one with a new “visualization” video of the work of James Jamerson, a fantastic new lesson from Rich Brown, new music, bass gear, and Reader Spotlight.

Charles Berthoud is back with another video in his “The Hardest Song In The World” series. This time, he runs through the Bee Gees’s “Stayin’ Alive” with a lot of different techniques. He even throws in some keys.

YYNOT has released another video from their concert at Coach House Concert Hall in January with their new vocalist, Patty Pershayla. Here’s the band’s performance of Rush’s “Limelight”, with Tim Starace handling the bass, keys, and bass pedals.

The first month of the new year was a huge one for visits to No Treble. Part of this was due to the videos we shared. Of the 31 we shared in January, these are the top 10 reader favorites.

Rebecca Johnson is back with a new video. Here she is on a gig with her trio last week, performing a groovy take on Prince’s “Kiss.” So good to see the band back doing their thing!

Leonardo van der Laat was inspired by Jack Stratton’s “visualization” videos of James Jamerson’s bass lines, so he set out to make his own. Check out Mr. Jamerson’s greatness on the Jackson 5’s “Darling Dear”.
