Hans, there are so many Lloyd Green cuts. Which ones are your choices?
The ones that just pinned back your ears.

I just listened to Dave Ristrim, Crisis in the Theme Park. Three times in a row. Now this is just what I was looking for.
So many of my favorite fusion tunes and a few clasics from Rock n soul.
I have played at least 4 of the tunes in bands including that Jean'Luc Ponty tune.
He's getting a unique sound, jazz, but not jazz standards, and it seems to have moved the instrument forward... A nasty slide guitar tone, great textures and variety too.
great work. I will like this album a long time.

Hmmm... Susan Alcorn, Mike Perlowin, Jon Rauhaus (Sleepwalker, "Man In the Moon"), and those many artists already mentioned.

I can't find a CD of Reece playing Big D Spree.
Any one know where I can get the track?
I really would want the whole CD, and not a bootleg, but the track would do for the moment.

Still really enjoying Dave Ristrim and Murph.
Jim Cohen is hanging in there too. Sort of a middle ground between the two above.
He has a great version of the Israeli national anthem that knocks my socks off.

To me, I think the lesson-album (The one with San Antonio Rose and Steelguitar-rag on E9)from Jeff Newman was really groundbreaking to me, and a very fresh progressive approach to steelguitar and it's sound and that in the late 70's. In my first years of playing steel, I always tweaked my amps and compression to copy that sound. When I play, it's still in my system, and will never get out! Talk about an influence for life!)

After hearing and being amazed at the great picking of Emmons and his contemporaries, I was so impressed with the arrangements and melodies of "The United Steels of Europe" from Neils Tuxen and friends years ago. I call it the wall of steel album because of the use of steel as an ensemble .
