Thanks for the recommendation. Never heard those, Babe Ruth was strong playing and 10cc was amazing singing and keyboards. Guitar solos were both similar blues rock, liked them a lot!
Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society album EYE ON YOU is definitely worth hearing. The other guitarist is Bern Nix. (I liked one side better than the other, but it's been more than a decade since I heard it.)
To me, I wouldn't have even mentioned Vernon Reid. I love the blues, Earl Hooker, Jody Williams, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Lee Robinson, Jimmy Rogers, Robert Lockwood... too many to name them all. I also love the older styles of Big Bill Broonzy, Lonnie Johnson, Tampa Red, and Robert Nighthawk (taking his voice into account, he's my favorite musician). And Kenny Burrell. BLUE BASH with Jimmy Smith is probably my favorite.
@@DonDeeringI hear you, Vernon Reid solo was a bit of a wildcard compared to the other players in a way. I almost did a blues as I realized I wasn't finding one that was clearly somehow the greatest. I have loved and listened to so much country blues ala Rev. Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Brownie Mcghee. Alvin Youngblood Hart being my favorite modern interpreter. Also though about jazz blues as well ala Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, and Wes with Jimmy Smith, "Mellow Mood". But I did include one coming up. Country blues was hard because it's all great but mostly solo so I didn't include any solo pieces. Maybe later I'll do a solo piece Top Ten. thanks for your thoughts, nice to get a sense of it.
@SubterraneanVisions I'll select a few things from Earl Hooker and a couple others. I should have mentioned... a lot of people, but T-Bone Walker for sure, he's the North Star.
10cc - Feel The Benefit, Babe Ruth - King Kong.
