The Louis Pain Interview 

Keyboardist Louis Pain was releasing a new organ trio album, "It's About Time," and I thought it would be a good idea to have him do an OMN Coffeeshop Conversation @ Catfish Lou’s so we scheduled for this week.And then last weekend, while playing a gig at Bluehour, he had a heart attack and almost died. I was ready to postpone but his wife Tracy Turner-Pain said nope, she’ll drive him.I said what? She said yep. So here he is  at Catfish Lou’s, 2460 NW 24th St, twenty four hours after he was released from the hospital with two stents in him after having what is known as a widow maker heart attack.Hard to believe, I know. We’ll finish with a tune from the new album, but with the whole story is Louis Pain.

Louis Pain: Heart attack last weekend, new album today CC#188

May 12, 2016Back in World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan in Portland Oregon. This is another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation.Today it’s…well I suppose we should call him a keyboard player because he can play them all but I think Louis Pain would rather be known as an organist because we’ve seen him so many times sitting behind the mighty, mighty Hammond B3 and playing with people like Paul deLay, Mel Brown, LaRhonda Steele, Sweet Baby James Benton, Soul Vaccination, Lloyd Jones…shall I go on? I could.He’s got a new album called Rock Me Baby with LaRhonda Steele which has gotten national recognition and airplay.We’ll find out how he got to be named “King Louie.”He’s one of the busiest musicians in the state. Glad he took some time out to talk with us.P.S. Just to clarify......During the conversation, I asked Louis about the bands he's currently in. Somehow the conversation took some left and right turns and we never got back to the fact that he plays with Lloyd Jones and, when he's in town, Ty Curtis. Ty is based in Austin now but they work together quite a bit during the summer. Blame me.
