Cruznolfart Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 John Mayall's latest release, from the Tough cd, Nothing to do with Love. This guy's 75 years old and still doing the Blues like he loves it. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] But I'm not clear on whether he did the awesome leads on this, or if it was his guitar player Rocky Athas...or someone else. Anyone?

Cruznolfart Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Is it Trout on guitar? Sounds more likely than Mayall but I can't find attributions...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Cruzn' from the looks of the "reviews" it's Rocky Athas.http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=34313 That's it! Thanks, Steve, good spot. Great licks! "The wisdom of his concept(s) becomes apparent on the very first track, "Nothing to Do with Love." This atmospheric number features not just the familiar wail of Mayall's harmonica, but the lead guitar of Rocky Athas—the latest in a string of guitar prodigies Mayall has discovered over the years. The Texas native makes a case for himself on "Playing with a Losing Hand" and throughout the disc, as an axeman worth watching." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
