Mastering the Band stand
WOW!, loved this new addition to the site Dave. Really insightful and interesting and I can't say enough about the jam at the end very cool!!!!
These are all fantastic players but for me Joe's acoutic playing is just ...WOW!, it's inspirational.
Don't get me wrong I loved everything Dennis and Rod did the chromatic stuff I'm falling in love with (don't own one yet!, but will soon!)
I have some of Dennis stuff and seen him live several times but have never heard much of Rod's work, I tend to be a blues nazi type so can anyone suggest any of Rod's work that is a must have for my collection? I got to hear more!!
There are some artists like Springsteen and Seger that you have to experience live to get the most out of. I think Rod is one of those. A good way to get a taste of his live show is to get his "Live at B.B. Kings" album ( http://www.amazon.com/Live-Kings-Piazza-Mighty-Flyers/dp/B0000020UJ ). The live version of "Murder in the 1st Degree" is the only way to listen to it.
Started hunting down the cd's! Checked out Rod's site cool stuff loved the history so far, found out he's coming to Florida in Oct 2010 I'm planning on making that!!

Cool recording of spoonful from 1968 on the site too!
Glad you liked it. The #1 CD from Rod to have is "Harp Burn" from 1986.
