Tack head is rather interesting also, their funky stuff is cool 😎

I saw a video of Tackhead playing live looks like about 10 yrs ago and Skip has exactly the same style…..must be just the way he is naturally!

That’s awesome! How was that dude not famous?
I’m thinking he enjoyed the music much more than fame…….here he is less than a year before his passing.

Ron Thompson: I'm Shakin' - YouTube

Did your dad play with him often?

For a while, until Ron passed away, they became good freinds, my Dad was living in Mexico so couldn't always be there.

Got some education today, here I’ve been under the impression that Albert King wrote ‘under a bad sign’……..he just stumbled on it by chance! Here’s William Bell talking a little about it then performing the song. 😎

This is really cool

……..I’m picking up ZZ Top deja vu off that intro lick that repeats itself through the song, can’t recall what song its from though……anyone recognize it? Could be I’m just having flashback hallucination! 😎

Old crow medicine show used to play around western North Carolina quite a bit before they were ”famous” and used to put on some awesome shows at festivals and local bars regularly. This is a fusion of bluegrass and blues that I think isn’t done enough! 😎

 

[mountainman bob]

Otis Taylor has been one of my favorites, here he is with Mato Nanji who was (not sure if he still is) on tour with ‘Experience Hendrix’ you can certainly hear Hendrix in his guitar style…..awesome combination. 😎

 

[mountainman bob]

was Hoping for more input! lets keep it alive with this one……awesome harp. 😎

 

[mountainman bob]

‘Here I go again on my own’ …….oh wait that’s Whitesnake definately not blues!

Lets try this new album, has a cool sound even if it is rather traditional
