It Was A Very Good Year - Frank Sinatra (In The Studio) Although he was from a previous generation, I really respect his talent. The story goes like this: Sinatra was driving his car, listening to the radio, and heard the Kingston Trio sing this song. He called his team and told them he wanted to sing it on his next album and suggested that the figure gets played on an oboe.

Don't Let Me Down - Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crow, Brandon Flowers (of course originally Beatles) I like that the bass player respected the original bass line.

A groaner:

Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant

Insensatez (How Insensitive) - Stan Getz and Luis Bonfa (Maria Toledo/vocals)

When we were gigging on the cruise ships, Cyndi came on for a week and performed as a headliner. The gal can sing better than her top40 records display. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper And the original by Robert Hazard

Jeff and Stevie jointly composed "Superstition" so here is Jeff playing one written by Stevie Cause We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beck (And Tal Wilkenfeld is just too cute to play bass that well) ?

IMO the most technically competent rock/fusion guitarist I know of. Little Wing - Jeff Beck The second one shows his technique better

I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round) - Alicia Bridges

Dancing In The Dark - Bruce Springsteen (we learned this for a regular fan, and I have a good time singing it and playing the sax at the end)

Stanley Turrentine - Sugar (One of my all-time favorite tenor sax players)

Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley & The Wailers Ever notice when he does the Yo-yo-yo figure, it's basically the same tune as "Mama's little baby love shortnin shortnin, mama's little baby loves shortnin bread"?

Holly Holy - Neil Diamond One of the two songs I like best from Neil Bonus ( OT) Here's the other - my favorite N.D. song (Love the arrangement and the musicians who playid on the session)

Theme For An Imaginary Western - Mountain

I have a soft spot in my heart for the blues and good guitar playing. This cut fills the bill. Thanks for sharing.

"Crazy He Calls Me" - Billie Holiday

Some great guitar playing by Gatemouth - Entire album "Gate Swings"

Same song, different take, equally nice, but in a different way. Baby It's You - Smith
