Reply to this The Allman Brothers brought the U.S. a different style of blues....a little southern, a little rhythm and who didn't like all those great solos? Dickie Betts could jam with the best while Gregg Allman had that signature voice to go with a great Hammond organ.....here's one of their classics...."Statesboro Blues"

Reply to this My bad for placing the Allman Bros. in the "B's"!

Reply to this About 16 years ago we were at our first Great Southern Blues Festival at Narooma on NSW's far South Coast.
A young chap playing fiery guitar with his Dad Bruce on drums and his Uncle Phil on bass blew us away.
The MC said "How good was that?...and he's only 16." The young guy leaned into the microphone and said..."!5 actually."

Reply to this Now that we've moved into the "C"s, it's time to lay some Ry Cooder on ya......Cooder's solo work has been eclectic, encompassing many genres. He has collaborated with many musicians, notably including Captain Beefheart, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Neil Young and Randy Newman.
He's got a unique sound. First became aware of him some 35 years ago when he did the soundtrack to a little-known movie called "Southern Comfort." I was in awe of the slow, sliding sound.
Here he is doing a number called "Crazy About an Automobile"
Reply to this Woodstock was an awakening of the power of youth together...a lot of really good bands...and the film to share it by.
One band that captured my attention from the film was HOT TUNA comprising two guitarists from JEFFERSON AIRPLANE and this guy...so much that I scored his LP.

Dancing Dave here: Canned Heat & On the Road Again...WOW...that was incredible Dangerous One. The guitar solo of Harvey Mandel and the groove of the whole band...this is what this thread is about...to hear blues one might not get the chance to enthuse about.
