Now there's one I'll agree with you on. I was never into Stevie Ray, mainly because his rise to fame coincided with my divorce and worse depressive stage. But I was in a club band in the '90s, and we did covers of Crossfire and The House Is a-Rockin'. I love his stuff now.

Not a crackin' tune, but what I consider to be the best thing musically to come out of the '80s.

If you like it, look around. Every performance is different. Some are better, but I picked this one because you can see everything his hands are doing.

Remember, it's one man and one guitar.

I agree Steve, that guyis so talented, every time I come across him on the net I'm amazed at the diversity of the tunes he plays.

One of my favourites was his rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Thanks for the CSN link. Though they played some great music in the '80s (and continue to today) I wouldn't have thought of them since I've been a fan since 1968. Actually I was a fan of Crosby in 1965 (The Byrds) and Stills since 1966 (Buffalo Springfield). Graham Nash came from The Hollies, but I wasn't a fan back then.

I wasn't a big Dire Straights fan at the time, but since Mark Knopfler recorded the 'Neck and Neck' album with Chet Atkins I've come to appreciate his incredible guitar work.

Good god man that takes me back.

And Jim, a big Bowie fan, respect to you :rock:

Yeah, I was listening to all of the above (except The Hollies, who I never latched onto for some reason, altho I was familiar with their hits from the radio) in the 70s and 80s. Always liked CSN (and CSNY) and fell in love with Southern Cross when it started getting radio play. After I bought the album though I found I liked one of Crosby's songs better, altho once the vinyl was long gone I couldn't remember what it was. Downloaded the album again a while back and I'm pretty sure it was Delta... altho I now like Might As Well Have A Good Time just as much, so who knows?
