Bad As I Wanna Be
2 versions of "Bad As I Wanna Be"/ The Memphis Pilgrims formed several years ago under the leadership of Michael Falzarano. Within six months of their debut on the club circuit, they were hailed by the press as one of New York’s "best new bands" who are "simply and wonderfully a real rock ‘n’ roll band." Mecca is The Memphis Pilgrims’ current release on Relix Records. Also available is the group’s EP, Bad As I Wanna Be, which was the title song for the ABC-TV "Movie of the Week" based on Dennis Rodman’s best-selling autobiography. Michael Falzarano, a member of Hot Tuna since 1983 and a prolific songwriter, has contributed many songs to Hot Tuna’s releases, Pair A Dice Found (Epic), Live At Sweetwater (Relix) and its most recent release, And Furthurmore (Arista/Grateful Dead). He also co-produced and wrote several songs for Kaukonen’s solo releases, Land of Heroes (American Heritage) and Christmas (American Heritage), and remastered many of the Hot Tuna recordings on Relix Records. As a member of the Jorma Kaukonen Trio, he is featured prominently on Too Many Years (American Heritage). Guitarist Jimmy Eppard is a mainstay of the Woodstock, New York music scene, and has performed and recorded with Levon Helm and other members of The Band, New Bohemians, Pete Seeger and Orleans, to name a few. An accomplished lead guitarist, Eppard is also known for his outstanding talents on the lap steel and slide guitar.
