The Bee Gees discussion piqued my interest. 1. Layla - Derick and the Dominoes; incredible riffs by Clapton/Almann 2. Anything Dylan - especially Like a Rolling Stone, his poetic mind is incredible 3. Anything Hendrix 4. Johnny Winter - Progressive Blues Experiment (especially - It's My Own Fault the Way You Treat Me Like You Do, my thoughts to every new groom), raw Texas Blues 5. Stevy Ray Vaughn - a cleaner, slicker Hendrix Interested in other lists, promise I will not be as derogatory as I was with the Bee Gees. Doc C

White Album - good individual songs but disjointed album Led Zeppelin #1 would have been my choice but I'm more blues oriented CCR - Born on the Bayou, go figure Let us not forget Otis Redding, great parking music in my day aka Try a Little Tenderness, Since I've Been Loving You, etc. Last edited on Sat Dec 1st, 2007 01:03 am by Doc C |

By the way Doc, my all time favorite song isn't on any of the albums I mentioned. Hit play on this, lean back, and close your eyes. Gives me goose-bumps every time...

Carole King and Elton John (again not being derogatory) but imho, were more pop rock. In that vein, how about the association, grassroots, three dog night, dooby brothers. Janus Joplin (another Texan) vs Carole King. Cat Stevens vs Elton John On a different note, did anyone see Claptons Crossroads Guitar Festival from Chicago on PBS this week? Clapton, BB King, Vaughn, Beck, Winwood, Winter, etc.

Agree as always Dr. J. However first heard it by Randy Newman, an ex La pat, while in med school in the early 70's. Have you ever read Rising Tide, currently in my second reading of it?

On a purely political note, the flood of 27 was one of the reasons afro-americans changed from the republican to democratic party b/o the "s---y" treatment they received in disaster relief from the republican administration.

Blacks from the delta literally had to exist for days on the levees. Red Cross came in and actually charged them for relief supplies. Some were even killed when they tried to retreat from the levee. Katrina relief pales in comparison to the treatment the delta people received. No wonder thousands migrated north afterwards. Doc C

Verifies the saying, "you got to suffer to sing the blues".

CF Duane Allman vs Dickie Betts vs Warren Haynes vs Derrick Trucks as guitarist? Hard choice? Doc C

That's tough to decide, but I did like Warren Haynes and Duane Allman. I have seen Haynes and Derrick Trucks play live. I was not privileged to see the other players perform live. Trucks was not actually a member of the band when I saw him. He was the opening act. Needless to say, that was some time ago. A fun concert I remember was the one in which a very young Kenny Wayne Shepard was the opening act for BB King. That was a great time. If only Kenny Wayne could sing, he possibly could come close to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

For those who haven't deduced it by now, I'm as passionate about music as I am about history. Let see a history or rolling stone writer, hard choice.

Interesting point about Kenny Wayne. He's from Shreveport and my former secretary is his god mother. His dad was a dj there. Have followed him since his early teens. Great guitarist. Comes pretty close to sounding like Vaughn. Will probably be a great studio guitarist like another Shreveporter, James Burton. Haven't kept up with him since moving away, but supposedly married Mel Gibsons daughter. Doc C

I wasn't aware Shepard had married, but it is logical given his age now. His CDs have gone more toward blues rock lately and I am more of a blues purist. If he would put out a "bluer" CD, I'd be the first in line to buy one.
