Favourite Musicians and Acts Still Going Strong

[davek]

Whatever butter's your biscuit.
Another perennial musician who my previous post brought to mind is John Mayall. His stuff is what got me into jazz by following him through the blues and into his jazz blues fusion stage. A lot of famous people came up through the Bluesbreakers. Did a search on him and I was surprised to see he is still putting out music. I've seen him five times in a small local club.
Wiki:

In the 1960s, he was the founder of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, a band which has counted among its members some of the most famous blues and blues rock musicians. They include Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jack Bruce, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Don "Sugarcane" Harris, Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, Hughie Flint, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Andy Fraser, Johnny Almond, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya, Kal David, and Buddy Whittington.
Best known for "Room To Move".

.. and still going strong
Lots of older musicians , but have you seen someone perform lately and go omg , they have perfected their sound
Like a fine wine , some of these iconic musicians have really hit their stride , some sound the best they ever have
Looking back at the original recordings and then 30 years later, the live versions are like silk ..

Like a fine Virginia, I think that Kris Kristofferson has aged the best. His work now, new work and his revamping of older work is his finest work. Johnny Cash did the same, but Kristofferson has surpassed Cash, IMO.

Elvis was at Floore’s Country Store for Family Night a couple of weeks ago.

Rumor has it that he runs with Ray Wylie.

The Eagles have had some attrition, but are touring with many of the original members and one Vince Gill.

Sir Paul?

I saw Jeff Beck along with Nicky Hopkins, Ron Wood, and Rod Stewart (performing songs from Truth) in '68, and again, Beck with BB King almost 50 yrs later.

Also, hat tip to John Fogerty.

Come on, how about some love for Stevie Wonder? For once in your life.

Paul McCartney? My mother in law saw him a few years ago and said he was great. He is just starting a new tour now I think.
I would have loved to see him with Wings in the late 70s, but I wasn't even born yet.
