Cross posting but I figure it deserves it.

You dont normally associate Viv Campbell with the Blues but man what a delightful slab of blues he serves up here!

Played this for the first time in the car yesterday.
Never really heard of him before, but was very good piano blues (my genre thought).

I posted the album earlier, but learning the intro to La Grange for a Blues jam tonight, it has to be a candidate for greatest Blues-Rock recording of all time :slight_smile: .

Billy Gibbons playing multiple bars of just harmonics is legendary. Paul Reed Smith finds it one of the most inspirational songs, and the album made it to ”In My Bag” (if you know that YouTube series).

That man played some the most soulful blues-rock imaginable. Add the southern boogie and well, yeah.

”Eric Clapton originally wrote “Layla” as a ballad, but when Duane Allman composed the song’s signature riff, the song was recorded in its rock form with the help of producer Tom Dowd.”

The guitar is his instrument and with it he plays in the league of the greats and also covers them.

I began this thread and wanted to post the 500th response by recommending any of the autobiographies of Lynyrd Skynyrd. It is interesting, important and saddening that after the crash, accusations, counter accusations and concern for control and money have spanned these many years. Arguably the most bluesy of their music was Ballad of Curtis Lowe.
