Anybody know who it is? It doesn't sound like Larry Carlton but whoever it is plays a very tasteful solo with a lovely tone.

Cheers

Yes Lobby, I love Hiram too, but it said "solo guitar" Steve Khan. Haven't heard the song but you never know when one of these LA cats is going to let loose with something special.

And what about that little Ricky Zehringer? He certainly has come a long way & travelled a very impressive road since his humble beginnings with the McCoys and "Hang On Sloopy"!!!

Thanks, Andy. I know you're a bit of a fan so I thought you'd be able to help me. I listened to the song again and you'd be hard pressed to notice the contributions of Mr Derringer. Makes sense that the funky comping is Hiram Bullock but there's absolutely no Rock'n'Roll Hoochie Coo on here. Steve Khan's solo isn't mind blowing but it's very tasteful and the tone caught my ear. I didn't realise that he was a studio player.

Ya know, fellas...

I think I am a little more partial to the early (pre '75) Dan stuff, more rock-ish, more "edge" on the guitars (yeah, me the jazz buff...go figure!

)

These tunes rank amoungst my favorites for guitar work:

Reelin In the Years
Kings
Bodhisattva
The Boston Rag
My Old School
King Of The World
Rikki
Night By Night

Some GREAT solo work...chunky, edgey, distorted, fusiony...

I think this was my first experience hearing rockers play something other than I-IV-V blues-based stuff or pop tunes...(well, second, after Randy Bachman's "Lookin' Out For Number One." As a kid, I really liked Guess Who.)

I think the bulk of the work was Denny Dias/Skunk Baxter/Walter Becker, with the occasional Elliot Randall thrown in.

AWESOME stuff!!!

Andy

(ps, Daved is right, Rick D is the bomb, too.)

...those pre-'75 tunes I mention all rank high on the AGI...

Rock and Roll Hoochie Cooo.......... I loved Rick with Johnny Winter - wore out that "Johnny Winter And" LP - that is a killer record...

As for the Dan guitarists, it doesn't get much better than Skunk and Deny...

Bodhisattva won't take me by the hand........

I love Johnny Winter And Live as well. I remember the studio album was quite tame, particularly the guitarwork, but this more than made up for it. For me, Johnny's slide playing is what really makes him special and Mean Town Blues features some of his best work. I also have to say that I prefer the Johnny Winter And version of Rock & Roll Hoochie Coo over the more well-known Derringer solo version.

I drove to Lafayette, LA and back over the weekend and had JW and Live cranked up LOUD when I drove through Beaumont, TX - my tribute to JW. This LP was on my turntable for most of my early years as a player - there is so much to learn about twin guitar playing on this thing. Dynamics, comping, harmony, it has it all. And man can the rhythm section cook. The first cut with the awsome drumming intro still sends chills. And, yes Rick D is still out there and still an awsome player. Check out his work with Edgard Winter's White Trash on their live album to see what he could do away from JW, too.

Andy, I wore that Johnny Winter And "live" record out.
