COUNTRY ROCK

Debolt kind of looks like Uma Thurman. Need this on MP3 ASAP.
 
Albert Lee's guitar work with 10 Years After is very hawt.

I'm listening to the first Jackson Browne album right now (S/T--in a dollar bin near you and one of my favorite records) and Lee plays a smokin' solo over some bongo madness on "Under The Falling Sky."
 
Summer road trip is emerging and the whiteboy in me comes out with the a fine dose of Flying Burrito Brothers, Neil Young, Marshall Tucker Band, Whiskeytown, Uncle Tupelo. Any more recommendations?




Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas Quintet): Texas Rock for Country Rollers ('76)


Faron Young - ostensibly for his definitive interpretation of Willie Nelson's 'Hello Walls,' maybe the best Nelson composition ever...


Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis (especially given the session players such as Steve Cropper involved)
 
Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas Quintet)
fo reals though.

also, on a "newer" tip i dig the first few My Morning Jacket albums. New stuff is a little
ehh.gif
, but i jam this on the regular

isn't it Alvin Lee?


Damn!

In England, Albert Lee has been household name, and in Nashville and Los Angeles he's been one of the most in-demand session guitarists there is; but outside of professional music circles in America, he's one of those vaguely recognizable names, and occasionally misidentified with his similar-sounding contemporary, ex-Ten Years After guitarist Alvin Lee (with whom he did share a berth once, in Jerry Lee Lewis's band on the latter's London Sessions album)

But it is Albert who plays on that Jackson Browne song.



 
For country rock I don't think you can beat Commander Cody & Lost Planet Airmen. And for a road trip you can't beat their Hot Licks Cold Steel And Truckers Favorite Lp.

Others who rock the country that have not been named:
JJ Cale
Guy Clark Texas Cookin
Willis Alan Ramsey
The Doug Sham super group with Flaco, name?
Tish Hinjosha
BR5 49
Alvin Crow

LAST MILE RAMBLERS! (they have THE best version of Phantom 309.)

Eva Cassidy (soulful folk rock)
Emmy Lou Harris Roses In The Snow
Emmy Lou Harris Boulder To Birmingham
Buffalo Springfield

Am I the only one who thinks this record is way over rated? I know there are a lot of California hippies here, but really. Do people who like this also like real country music?

Sorry if this turns into a thread hijack. Please recommend at least one country rock record if you reply.

yes. I like that record and "real country". But, I am a California hippy...

Yeah, I like it, but it would have been way better if McGuinn hadn't pulled a star trip and done vocals over Parson's. Though it's easy to see why he was a bit threatened by Parson's contributions. I find it to be be a far more influential record than the archetypal country-rock or hippie country. Like it's just a bit shy of being finished or something.

I thought that Gram's vocals were wiped because of threatened legal action by Lee Hazelwood (who had him under contract from ISB days)...
