STEVE MORSE W/ THE DREGS, WABASH CANNONBALL ETC.

Okay, I'll admit, lickety-split fusion-type playing isn't my favorite thing. It's nice to hear it done very well, though, and who does it better than Steve Morse? Mixing in some country doesn't hurt, either. Great execution here; a lot of stuff worth stealing for those who have plenty of time to kill.

They play a medley of Wabash Cannonball and another polka-esque fiddle tune whose name escapes me. Hey, do I have to do all the work around here?

MICK GREEN WITH BILLY J. KRAMER, "MY BABE"

Here's Mick Green with Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Billy J. and his group are one of the many also-ran British groups that popped up in the wake of the Beatles-- pretty limp, but any Mick Green sighting is important. Green is better known for his intense work with Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, but even in this more subdued setting he plays some good stuff. The second solo is a little more raw, the first a little less exciting, but there's good playing throughout. Little Walter's "My Babe," much like Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning," and Dale Hawkins/James Burton's "Susie Q," is ground zero for open E bluesy/swampy licks. You don't have to play this stuff on a Tele, but it helps.

Thanks to Bob Craver for posting this on facebook.
