Who Would Be In Your Dream Rock/Blues Band?

Oh dear jay.

Jimi was reckoned to have a beautiful voice when he decided to use it. I know some women found it very seductive.

And Keef is just a typical rock singer no better no worse than many out there.

Mike

I can only conclude from those comments that you are playing your albums at the wrong speed

Jay.

Just give me Tom Waits on vocals and call it a day!

@ak2000:

My mistake: I didn't mean King Crimson, but, rather, King Curtis.

Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Charlie Watts.

Yes, for some inexplicable reason we hear nothing of the fellow these days yet in his day he was a great innovator and by all accounts a really nice, if troubled guy.

Jay.

Roy Buchanan was amazing. He's one of the few who I collect in vinyl - have to double-check, but I think I've got everything he's done. Also love Danny Gatton when I'm in a similar mood.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Paul, John, George, Ringo.

Wishing for the Beatles is to me wishing for them as they were and that wasn't even a constant so sure, not realistic but hey, it's my dream.

To the rock/blues thing . . . that is just too much for me narrow down.

My favorite female vocalists were Linda Ronstadt and Ann Wilson. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Billy Gibbons are up there for me as rock/blues guitarists. Don Henley is just fine for drums. And would still take McCartney on bass with any group. Would take way too much time for me to single out just one keyboard player and although Elton John and Billy Joel would be way up there for me, but I could come up with a whole bunch more maybe not so singularly associated with keyboards, but in some great bands over the years.

Ask me in an hour or tomorrow and I'll probably have some other folks, or even different ones, lol. So many different "super" ensembles that could be put together and just scratching the surface.

Lead Guitar: Allan Holdsworth

Aw yeah dude, I have studied Allan's playing for years ...I think the vibe Allan had on Heavy Machinery would be present here

If it takes more than a guitar, bass, and drums, you ain't doin' it right.

TURN IT UP!
