Voodoochile, no hostility intended. We probable agree alot more than our exchange indicates. The Mayall/Clapton album I'm referring to is: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=2:10:06|AM&sql=A9waxqj1bojaa It's not a great album, but it contains some wonderful blues guitar playing. Particularly strong tracks are "Hideaway", "Steppin' Out" and "Have You Heard". Although it's not on the album, Mayall/Clapton also do a very strong version of "Stormy Monday Blues". You might be able to find it on one of his numerous compilations. |
There are many,many really good guitarists that play in relative obscurity and an equal number of way overated players. The talent lies in not only excellent technique but real musical ideas laid down that are worth listening to. Being able to play at the speed of light doesn't necessarily mean that the guitarist is good.Slow blues really lays the player out there. Many are good at this but none that I have heard as consistently as good as Ronnie Earl. |
