Piet Botha – New, Live & Rare

Featuring Jack Hammer, Tidal Waves, Wildebeest, Gabi Le Roux, Raven & more.

The title of this mix is inspired by a series of EPs and CDs released by Deep Purple.

The release of Piet Botha & Jack Hammer’s “13 Towns” live album on the 18th July 2020, was the inspiration for this mix which includes a few live songs, some recent releases and a bunch of rare tracks.

Get A Haircut, Get A Real Job

A mix inspired by attending various Piet Botha gigs over the years, and discovering some of his many and varied influences.

I have only just scratched the surface here, as Piet’s repertoire was vast, including Southern Rock, Metal, Blues, Reggae, Folk and more.

I have chosen some of the songs that Piet covered in concert, but for a bit of variety I have chosen different artists versions, such as The Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers” done by Poison and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” by Albert de Wet.
