Musicians that as a youth you under appreciated

[M1A1ABRAMS]

Woke up this morning early, started streaming a few of the artists mentioned in this thread. Excellent recommendations.

Say what you want about Apple, I hated the platform before I switched because of all the "fans", but dammit they make it easy for old guys. $20 a month, I have more storage than I can use, more music than I can possibly ever stream thru, more TV than I care about and I can drop my phone, use my watch, pick up a tablet or laptop and pick up where I left off.

That lead me down the YouTube spiral that is "similar artists" on Apple Music. Started with Grand Funk Railroad, Foghat, Gov't Mule, Bob Seger, Three Dog Night, The Guess Who, Steve Miller, The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, Bread, America, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Albert Cummins, Joe Bonamassa, Johnny Lang, The Black Crowes, Audioslave, SoundGarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, and I am still in the rabbit hole.

A guy could get lost in forgotten classic rock, blues, grunge or southern rock and really never run out of good tracks to listen to.

So how does Apple work in your vehicle ? Do you have to bluetooth off of your phone, etc ? Or do they have a platform similar to Sirius ?

Apple play on the factory stereo. I use the USB cord to connect, puts everything on my phone on the display, Waze, Weather, Calls, Texts, Email and even OnX. Satellite views on the screen as I drive.

With the music, I can walk out, jump in the truck and it switches automatically from my hearing aids to the truck, easy to fast forward, back up, favorite or even create a station based on the current song being played from the head unit/steering wheel controls all while keeping your eyes on the road. It really doesn't get any dumber.

I feel I should revive this thread just because this guy went unmentioned .... , such a class act .

How did that happen? He's smoking on that sax and a local boy, grew up in Fort Worth.

Great way to revive this thread!

Very perceptive and factual!
It's been mentioned but, another that I didn't truly appreciate until later was Kris K! What a songwriter! Kind of like Dylan on the vocals but, that struggle makes him equally special. "once more with feeling". Ha!

Kris Kristofferson, silver tongued devil and I. I forgot all about him till you brought it up lol.

Here's a two thread mashup

Jeff Healy, just finished listening to a live concert of him and Stevie Ray Vaughn, holy cow

Dalton: So, you play pretty good for a blind white boy.

Cody: Yeah, and I thought you'd be bigger.

Montrose and early Sammy Hagar, Rainbow, Wishbone Ash and KC and the sunshine band.

I saw Wishbone ash and Climax Blues Band about the time wishbone 4 was released. Front row seats. Ears rang for 3 days. It was well worth it.

 

[1mechanic]

I think it was Wishbone Ash that perfected dual lead guitar, where two guitars are playing in the " solo " together.

 

[Critter Picker]

They did a dual lead on "blowin' free" now that you mention it.

If you like guitar work check out Tony Rice

Gary Clark Jr., Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani and Robin Trower
