Can you tell the difference between original and cover? "Is it live or Gabriela?" 

Mickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship):

 

Maybe Mickey, though she don't look like Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)!

Mash 'em up... Pretty impressive IMO...

doesn’t apply so much to that track but I recall blacmore saying Graham Bonnet was the best singer he’d ever had… except for the image

Put more Bonnet on it

Inspired by this video, I bought one of their CDs, "Coral Fang". Although in general I prefer live recordings, it is still an intriguing piece of work. Thanks!

With thanks to @JaCrispy 

 

Stick with this till the bluesy end before you form an opinion either way.

 

 

John Mayer is definitely underrated as a blues guitarist

 

 

Here are a couple from one of my favorite bands, The Buddaheads

(RIP Alan Mirakatani).

Here is something little different from a Rochester band from the 80's. 

 

These guys had a bit of a cult following outside western NY, in the roots community.

RIP  Chuck (Colorblind James)

The greatest Blues album IMO.

Blind Owl shines.  He was a tortured genius.  So sad that only his photo is present on cover. 

Very gifted, he might be most talented of the 27 club.

 

Don't mess with the Hook.

 

Hooker talking about Pigpen is hilarious. 

 

And Hook praises Blind Owl.

"I dig this cats harmonica...I don't know he follow me, but he do...I see I can't lose ya

I can’t lose him. He musta listened to my records all his life"

'Alan..Alan. Blow your horn, baby!'

 

Don't forget to boogie

Another of my favorite albums (my brother initially purchased this album from Columbia House record and tape club, and I inherited it when he moved out. It actually it was 2 albums for 1 dollar, Grape jam and Wow packaged together)

On this cut Mike Bloomfield sits in on piano, and jerry Miller plays guitar.

Jerry Miller now tours with Eilien Jewel's band, and I was fortunate enough to meet him several years ago at the Grass Roots festival in Ithaca. We had all access backstage passes, I got from my nephew who was playing with Kevin Kinsella (they were former

bandmates with John Brown's Body). Anyway Eilien Jewel was playing her set, and finished up when we we're backstage. I was very impressed by her guitarist, and came over to him to tell him how much I enjoyed his playing. Not knowing who he was at the time, he introduced himself as Jerry Miller, and the name seemed familiar. I thought about it all the way home, and it finally hit me that he was the guitarist for Moby Grape.

I ran into him again at a show they did at the German House in Rochester, and told him the story of meeting him before. He actually chuckled a little and said he remembered that because at the time (when I didn't realize who he was) I had told him that he was the best guitar player I had ever heard from Idaho (that's where Eilien Jewel is from , even though he is not) 

And that's what he remembered.

 

Here he is jamming with her band
