Little Feat on Cold Cold Cold/Tripe Face Boogie. The final solo on the first with George's slide is a true beauty (at 8:07), at the height of one of those forgotten albums that is worth re-claiming, the '74 Feats Don’t Fail Me Now.

Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page on slide playing In My Time Of Dying off of the '75 Physical Graffiti album.

A very young Ry Cooder performing Vilgilante Man back in '73 live at the Old Gray Whistle Test.

John Hiatt knows how to recognize a good slide. In 1987 he was presented with the incredible opportunity to choose his favorite musicians to record with, and he did not hesitate to choose Ry Cooder on guitar and that is how the wonderful 'Bring the Family' was created. However for the live performances Cooder was not available and so Hiatt hired an unknown band, The Goners, whose guitarist he had fallen in love with, Sonny Landreth. This man stepped into the shoes of a legend and did not disappoint: the following year appeared the remarkable 'Slow Turning' that was the first great proof that the slide had found another myth. Sonny Landreth takes the spotlight along with fellow guitarists Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton on Congo Square live at the 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival.

I'll see ya with the Allman Brothers performing Desdemona in March '03 live at the Beacon Theatre, New York, NY. Derek Trucks on slide guitar, natch.

I'll kick in an '80 live performance by Mink DeVille of Just To Walk That Little Girl Home, off of their '80 Le Chat Bleu LP. What an underrated artist.

"I think you might have missed Poco and maybe Timothy B Schmit?" That's what the etc. was about. LOL Too many great southern rock artists to list off the top of my head. But, boy, you nailed it with Willy DeVille doing Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl live. 9+ minutes of musical ecstasy.

Dickey Betts' solo '74 Highway Call full album featuring fiddle legend Vassar Clements, Leon, Walter & Frank Poindexter, and Allman Bros. pianist Chuck Leavell. Put yourself on the road through the Great Smokey Mountains during a camping trip whilst listening to this. Perhaps a joint now and again. Now that's atmosphere!

Here's a great Grinderswitch tune. Pickin' The Blues, off of their '75 Macon Tracks LP.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Street Survivors full album. BTW, what other southern rock did you especially like? Early to late 70's was the golden era. I did a lot of road trips through the U.S. and we always loaded up with southern rock cassettes. Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Allman Bros., Marshall Tucker, ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Outlaws, Waylon and Willie, Johnny Winters, Black Oak Arkansas, Wet Willie, Hank Williams Jr., Pure Prairie League, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Grinderswitch, Dickie Betts & The Great Southern, etc. Bluegrass as well.

Perhaps in the UK but by '76 they had already achieved rock star status in the Southern rock genre. Lynyrd Skynyrd was a must on long road trips through the vast expanses of wilds of the American countryside.

Odd, I don't see a video???? No problem, and I'll take your good advice, sir. Lynyrd Skynyrd 21 August 1976, Knebworth. Full set list.

A medley of blues slide guitar featuring Derek Trucks playing unknown tunes at an unknown concerts at an unknown times and at an unknown locations. Sometimes there's just no info. But hey, we've got the name of the artist!

The Steve Miller Band with Stevie "Guitar" Miller playing slide on the title track of their '73 The Joker LP.

Would be a nice theme, eh? Best of the best slide and pedal steel guitar tunes? You in? Some of the best are country songs. Waylon Jennings performing The Last Letter live in Texas in Sept. '74 off of his '76 Waylon Live LP. Steel guitar player: Ralph Mooney.

Excellent choice, KannikaP.

Yes, great version as well. But John Fogerty's masterful eerie guitar sounds are absolute genius. CCR's sound captures the mystic essence of this beloved song. Fogerty also has the perfect bayou vocals to match. Truly a rendition for the ages.

Might just be the marketing these days. And I would say it is. Check out the top songs by month for 2022. Best have a large pail handy for anyone who wants to sample this noise. The mainstream music industry has definitely gone Hollywood. The title of the, of the, well, I don't want to use the word song, but the title says it all. The more freakish it is the more it's promoted. It's a reflection of a good deal of society today, in my humble opinion. Freakish. And it sells. My apologies for posting the below but it's merely for educational purposes, you understand. https://mybirthdayhits.com/us/2022/

This is most likely my favourite song for slide guitar.

Absolutely the best version of this classic ever!

Swans is one of the early post rock bands formed in the U.S. in '82. This is Celebrity Lifestyle off of one of their much later releases from 2017, The Great Annihilator. I like post rock when I'm working because it's very listenable but stays in the background. It's not so intrusive when I have to keep my mind focused on something. Not everyone's cup of tea, I'll grant. But then there's folks out there like me that enjoy it.

Mogwai is a well known Scottish post rock band formed in 1995. This is Take Me Somewhere Nice off of their 2001 Rock Action album.

Or Goose. Here's สิ่งดีดี [A Good Thing] off of their 2004 self-titled album.

Desktop Error is another excellent Thai post rock band. น้ำค้าง [Dew] off of their 2013 Keep Looking At The Window album.

Post rock tends to be sometimes dark, mellow and moody type of music. There are a few excellent Thai post rock bands out there. Inspirative with Felicity is Out There off of their 2010 Memories Come Rushing Up To Meet Me Now album. The songs start out relatively sedate and about midway through they become more explosive. If you listen to enough post rock you'll begin to notice the style. This band is quite good.
