Southern hard-rockers Brother Cane, known for songs like 'Got No Shame,' are back.
The rock band Brother Cane. From left, Glenn Maxey, Tony Higbee, Damon Johnson, Jared Pope and Buck Johnson. was out driving around Nashville not long ago. Johnson started vibing on the congas that give that ‘70s funk classic by the band War its bloodshot shimmy.
“I don’t know how to say it, bro. I just don’t give a shit anymore. If it’s something that gets me off, and if somebody connects the dots on the inspiration, instead of being afraid of that, I welcome that. I love that.”It also made Fredricksen, who cowrote with Johnson and coproduced with Guns N’ Roses recording engineer Jim Mitchell, an in-demand studio ace.Brother Cane’s debut produced more hits, including rock and soul ballad “Hard Act To Follow” and rocker “That Don’t Satisfy Me.
But Damon Johnson had unfinished business with Brother Cane. He and Maxey hadn’t spoked to each other in many years but reconnected around 2019. This year, Brother Cane is stepping things up for their debut album’s 30th anniversary. On Oct. 27, the tour comes to Mars Music Hall at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville. (Tickets start at $28 plus fees, available viaBrother Cane have close to 20 shows booked, crew and management team in place, the original album’s first-ever vinyl pressing, and two new songs.
Still, it’s been sweet and full circle for Maxey and Damon to reconnect. In addition to their shared adventures as young musicians back then, they talk about family and joke about being rockers in middle age. In addition to both new tunes and songs from the ‘93 debut, the set includes material from the two Brother Cane albums Maxey wasn’t part of. He says he’s having a ball playing bass live now on “Seeds” and “Wishpool” songs. “Man, ‘Wishpool’ is such sophisticated songwriting and production. It’s my favorite out of the three of them. I’m always pushing to play more ‘Wishpool’ stuff.”
