Show us your latest “Genres for you”
I wanted to THANK EVERYONE for their suggestions and references. I spent an hour or so adding most everything to my Qobuz collection and then created a new playlist:
May need to add just one more song…
My wife is thrilled, and now we have a few hours of listening to look forward to
This is a great YouTube cover. Not much into guitar-face, but he has been a consistent productive musician.
Is that Albert King’s Flying V?
Bonnie Raitt “Million Miles”, (not in high res.) sounds great on our system.
Man, he was so good in O Brother Where Art Thou.
Something else new to me.
Enjoying a listen in the office now
Some more Blue’s this afternoon in the office.

" Formed in Memphis in 1968 by Baker, who’d fronted local faves The Blazers, the initial line-up evolved to include drummer Durham, who’d been with The Group and The Rapscallions. Produced, written and arranged by Don Nix (ex-Mar-Keys and Paris Pilot) in Memphis, Moloch is an excellent blues rock album with some sound effects, noises and superb acid guitar solos by Lee Baker. Their single was recorded after the album with a later line-up and is extremely rare.
The genius of Lee Baker
Lee Baker is the greatest guitarist you have never heard of. Here is your chance. Listen to Baker alternate between fuzzy,funk blues riffing,slippery slide and stinging leads. Beale Street summer of love. Moloch is a collection of notorious Memphis musicians. Blues filtered through blotter acid. The original version of “Going Down” is here. Yes, the very same song Jeff Beck/Freddie King etc covered.Before you smugly ask,yes,Baker is the equal to Beck. He’s that good. Ask Jim Dickinson. Ask Alex Chilton. Smell the psycho daisies and grab this disc." (By McCarthy Salisbury)
Joe Bonamassa gives a very credible explanation as to how the brown tone, woman tone etc are created. This is more of a concern for Blues guitarist, but it is an easily recognized round-tube like sound with minimal effects.

On Blues On The Boyou, first cut, all instrumental
Yes, I have been a long time fan of John Mayall, being considered the “father of the UK blues movement” . I first saw him in 1965, at the Rendezvous Club in Portsmouth, with Eric Clapton, John McVie, and Hughie Flint!
Amazing. Lucky guy.
These quotes were followed by that now famous, in the UK that is, quote from Eric Morecombe “they are all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!”
Funny, I have just been working that out He has got further than me so far…
