He's in there, from Gilmoure to Urban. Ringo's playing drums! Tedeschi and Trucks, Satriani and Townshend. Tried to copy/paste from YT, formatting was all wrong. It's a who's who of guitar.

Journey, Van Halen, Styx, Boston, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, CCR, Def Leppard, Eagles, ZZTop... ooops... I went over ten.
 
Just discovered...

Dickie Betts, who died Thursday at age 80, really was born a ramblin' man. He left home at 16 to join the circus and became a renowned guitarist touring the world with the Allman Brothers Band. He wrote the group's biggest hit, “Ramblin' Man,” and remained on the road until he reached the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Put the county in Allman B Band
 
I remember hearing this and couldn't get the album fast enough. Warren Haynes is CHANNELING Duane Allman on this.
And Trucks is no slouch at all!! This song is a time machine.

“I liked to go to this old abandoned graveyard by the river to write songs. The gravestone next to where I was sitting said, ‘In Memory of Elizabeth Reed’, so that became the song’s title”​

Went into the distance reaches of the car's USB stick for some oldies C&W music






My BIL/ FIL(RIP) and 80-some YO neighbor wear pearl snap shirts

I grew in the city but dating the future wife I saw the lyrics in real life - lyrics are haunting (Guy clerk version - he wrote it for Jerry Jeff)

Another song for the lyrics - wife is from Cuero - town were people settled after the Indianola hurricane

Love songs like this

Sorry Coe fans - I like the Paycheck version better - beside Paycheck's name works with point of the song

Speaking about leaving a job - I got my gold watch @25 years in 2013 and still am working for the company. Waiting for 6 more years or until they decide they don't want me (more likely). Not a bad run at an Oldfield service company

Agree with you on Johnny Paycheck version. :thumb:

Not many oilfield service companies survive 25 years anymore.
 
A little bit of Tommy Alverson for a Saturday Morning chuckle or two...


I think Brian Burns out of Arlington wrote this one.
 
Speaking of Brian Burns, as an East Texas boy of a certain age, this one really takes me back.

 
I'm less of a "band" guy and more about the song. That being said, the bands that have the most songs I like:
Journey
AC/DC
Van Halen
Styx
Queen
Aerosmith
Petra
Boston
CCR
Def Leppard
... too many to keep to just 10 but, I will play by the rules... this time.
 
I don’t generally listen to music while on the motorbike, but here’s my top bands / singers… in no particular order.

- Colter Wall
- Sturgill Simpson
- Flatland Calvary
- Hozier
- Midland
- Tyler Childers

Haynes is a master for sure, and channeling is a good description of his break. Trucks is good on this track but not incredible as he is now capable of. He gets better by the year. When I first heard Warren, I told a friend I'd heard this fat little troll looking dude that played with such feeling I shivered while listening. He laughed and said "really? you don't know who he is?" Government Mule then Allman Bros. ? I really need an education, still, after all these years of playing. Makes me want to pull out the Les Paul and create a few nice notes anyway :-)

I saw Govt. Mule at the Tabernacle in Atlanta once, and it WAS a religious experience!

I got into ABB in what I call the V3.0 band of the early 2000's ( of course was familiar with the original group).

I watched some of these tracks last night from the 90's band, mostly the Dickey Betts tracks. Sponsor was IBM OS2 Warp😄
