The Yes guitar virtuoso jams some electric sitar on this great instrumental track. From the CD " Spectrum".
Very deep, very heavy blues from the Colorado bluesman. the vibe of John Lee Hooker with a modern twist. From the great CD "Respect the Dead".
An absolutely killer cover version of the Neil Young classic. I miss that Roy....R.I.P.
Great stratocaster sounds from the former Be Bop Deluxe guitarist overlayed on huge dance beats..."it's a jazz joint"
Another band that doesn't get the airplay they deserve, City Boy was a great band of the late 70's that made some great albums, the first 5 of which were produced by Mutt Lange-the future Mr Shania Twain?! Their sound is probably closest to Queen or 10cc, with some excellent vocal harmonies and superior musicianship, especially from guitarist Mike Slamer. If you can find the CD's " Book Early" or "The Day the Earth Caught Fire", or their last " Heads are Rolling", grab it. They also made an 18 song anthology that's very good, but is missing some of their heavier and more progressive tunes...though when you listen to this collection, you'll wonder why every song wasn't a hit.
Great song from Warren Haynes' excellent blues-rock group Gov't Mule. Warren is also a fulltime member of the Allman Bros. and various other projects. I can't figure out why this band doesn't get any airplay on classic rock radio (not here in Canada, anyway).....Allen woody, R.I.P.
Excellent cover of the Jeff Beck-Jan Hammer tune on Derek's Black Utopia CD which features a stellar line-up of guitarists including Al Dimeola, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather , and Yngwie Malmsteen. Also includes legendary drummer Simon Phillips. Derek's fulltime job has him handling keyboard duties with Dream Theatre.
First heard of with David Bowie in Tin Machine, this is Reeves 3rd solo album on Steve Vai's Favored Nations label.
Good toe tappin', beer swillin' tune from this band. Guitarist-vocalist Gordie Johnson originally did this song with his band Big Sugar. Also features Whip Layton formerly of Double Trouble
