I prefer a little more ‘red meat’ in my rock and roll. Think Steely Dan, Bad Co, Lynard Skynnard, The Stones, The Who and of course, Led Zepplin just to name a few.

Once you’ve supped on the Allman Bros (with Duane, of course), the rest of that southern rock thing never did it for me.

Steely Dan and Little Feat (oh if only they wrote lyrics worth listening to - Little Feat that is) were, IMO, among the best bands of the 70s.

But I logged more hours listening to Ry Cooder than any of them, so my tastes are easily questioned. Also a musician playing a handful of instruments - but chose the less popular route of playing/singing/writing original songs. The covers we play are so obscure most don’t know they are covers, or they have been so re-instrumented to the point of unrecognizability).

You made me think about Blue Sky...one of my favorite songs of all time. The world just melts away when it pops up on my Ipod while I'm walking along the Trinity River.

I loved Ry Cooder’s stellar guitar playing with Capt Beefheart and the magic band. The album “safe as milk” was incredible and remains one of my all time favs to this day.
