+1...me too E-Z...i love this album....sod the critics, they can have their opinions, but i will have mine...
The other people that i cannot tolerate are these so-called Blues purists..Blues snobs they are..They harp on about the true origins of the music and dismiss anyone that hasn't...
Move aside Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman, this guy is my favourite American player - Roy Buchanan, the ABSOLUTE master of the Telecaster...A SUPREME guitarist and right up there as one of my all time faves...His wizardry on the fretboard here on this clip really is something else..This recorded...
This is the style of blues i really like, real heavy heavy slow blues...
The Climax Blues Band - St. Michael's Blues....this track taken from their 1971 album 'Tightly Knit.'..Pete Haycock another great guitarist from that era.
on the topic of Cozy Powell, there was this blues-rock album he did in 1973 titled 'Bedlam.'...This album was produced by Felix Pappalardi, Felix being the bass player in that great American heavy blues rock band 'Mountain.'..i am a big fan of Leslie West and Mountain.
Yes, i am also a big fan of Ten Years After and the Cricklewood Green album i like very much...On the topic of guitarists, i never really got into Jeff Beck, undoubtedly a top top player but i never got into his style...For me, guitar style and the way each individual plays comes ahead of...
That very early 70's period there were many British blues bands and prog blues bands kicking around, some of them quite obscure but they never made it, many of them only lasted a couple of years, made just one album and then fizzled out, but still some great one-off albums out there...Glam Rock...
Jo Ann Kelly - it would be hard to find a more accomplished white female blues singer than her...
Sadly she died of a brain tumour in 1990...i saw Rory Gallagher in a small club in Central London a year before her death and the gig was in aid of her with all proceeds going to her.

Another album from that late 60's British Blues Rock era.
Tramp - featuring members of Fleetwood Mac and Dave Kelly with his sister Jo Ann Kelly,,she had a wonderful blues voice.
Climax Blues Band i really liked too..Their first 4 albums were very good...but later on in their career they stopped playing the blues and became a mushy wishy-washy pop group., a real shame.
Another great track from that late 60's/early 70's British Blues-Rock Boom..
Steamhammer - Junior's Wailing...an epic track.
in my view, the 2 greatest periods in music were the early/mid 50's Chicago Blues Scene and the late 60's British Blues-Rock Boom.
Climax Blues Band - St Michael's Blues...This track taken from their album 'Tightly Knit.'...Their first 4 albums were very good...Pete Haycock was a wonderful guitar player...This track is the kind of blues i like, very heavy heavy slow blues.
i saw Stan Webbs Chicken Shack in 1989 at the East Anglia Rock and Blues Festival inside Mildenhall Speedway stadium in Suffolk, right next door to the big American Airbases of RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall...Rory Gallagher headlined and Uriah Heep were also on the bill.
The saddest of blues, love this track taken from Chicken Shack's debut album '40 Blue Fingers.'...Christine McVie had a truly wonderful blues voice..she wrote this track..i put her up there along with Jo Ann Kelly as the best ever British female blues vocalists.
Stan Webb with his track 'Pocket.'...magical little guitar solo from Stan here commencing at 1 min 25 secs....get that air guitar tennis racket out!..lol
On Imagination Lady Stan does a cover of 'Going Down' made famous by Freddie King..i liked Chicken Shack when Christine McVie was in the band.. Stan is one of those British blues guitarists that deserved more acclaim, along with the likes of Snowy White and Pete Haycock from Climax Blues...
Some of my faves from 1971..
Rory Gallagher - Rory Gallagher
Rory Gallagher - Deuce
Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride
Carole King - Tapestry
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
The ABSOLUTE master of the Telecaster - Roy Buchanan...along with Rory Gallagher, Roy is my favourite player.. boy oh boy could he tickle those strings.
Brian 'Robbo' Robertson of Thin Lizzy, rarely gets mentioned in any of those greatest guitarists lists..Robbo is so so underrated and he has always been my fave 70's hard rock guitar player...That wah from Robbo is just something else, he could wail with the best of them..He wasn't just a...
