One of the great unsung bands of the 70's, with former members of Deep Purple, Johnny Winter's band, and Iron Butterfly. Keyboard player went on to join Stevie Ray Vaughn's Double Trouble. Excellent prog rock for your listening pleasure....
Another great guitar band like Lizzy. They sometimes sound like a bluesier version of Yes (well...sorta). This tune has one of my alltime favourite solos...crank it!!
Another great Irish band, but the only songs you'll hear on the radio are"the boys are back in town " and "jailbreak";great tunes -yes, but they've done al ot more. Showdown sort of reminds of Steely Dan...
Today 3 British Isle artists that just don't get enough airplay here in Canada. Irish bluesman Rory Gallagher should be mentioned in the same breath as Page, Beck, or Clapton. This guy is one of the best performers I've ever seen....R.I.P. Rory
One of the greatest hard rock bands of all time, but sadly overlooked in North American radio airplay...great guitar from Michael Schenker and powerful vocals from Phil Mogg. This tune is from the excellent live album "Strangers in the Night".
Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes are the best guitar duo on the planet. This is the best cover I've heard of a Stones song, ranking right up there with Hendrix's "All along the Watchtower" and Santana's "Black Magic Woman".
