I have a dear friend named David R. who's recently become a huge blues rock guitar fan. In fact, he purchased a newer ZZ Top CD and an older Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer live album circa 1970 to turn me on to what are some of his favorites. I would like to return the favor. However, since he travels a lot and does not have access to a fine CD player (I am a HiFi snob) and because I want to share my recommendations to the world, I thought it best to write a notems with some links to the greats/great songs. So, here we go:
1. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After
2. Rory Gallagher
3. Frank Marino
4. Pat Travers
5. Les Dudek
6. Little Feat
7. Dickey Betts
8. Derek Trucks
9. Joe Bonamassa
10. Robben Ford

My first Billy Idol show ever!!! And what a show it was ?.At 67, the man and his band did not skip a beat. His attire, stage presence, and extensive list of top hits including Rebel Yell (Billy's favorite) and Flesh for Fantasy (my favorite), brought not only a 1980s nostalgia but also a tremendous relief from the soulless wasteland of ...
I woke this morning to the sad news of Christie McVie's passing. Suffice it to say, it has been a melancholy day.I am flooded with memories of Fleetwood Mac from the first time I heard Rumours to a recent conversation I had with a dear friend about Bob Marley and the Wailers, the warmup band for their 1980 European tour. More than just memories though, it is the indelible mark
