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

 

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!

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.
 

 

I think you might have missed Poco and maybe Timothy B Schmit? 

Was talking to a  long lost mate today (hence my extra interest in the thread today). Charlie Daniels, Poco and OMD (Ozark) cropped up. Willie DeVille "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl" (Live 8+mins) blows me away.

My tastes go from country to country, from genre to genre and then to the moon and back.

Always enlightening to talk about music.

"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.
 

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.

Found his (Mink?) CD, featuring Italian Shoes, in a Vienna record shop (remember those?!), circa mid 1990's.

Downstairs in the Vienna subway while I was back-packin'. Wow. What times indeed.

 

Hmmm.

Haven't got the time to read 38 pages of posts.

 

I might just erupt into "Violence" as would Ian  Hunter & Mott the Hoople.

Too bizzy (sic) with Willie Deville at the moment.????????

I hate seeing these letters RIP next to familiar artists. Somehow I think they should go on forever.

At least their music will 

 

The underrated Roy Rogers, producer of John Lee Hooker's grammy award winning album 'The Healer'.

Well here he is playing with another slide master.

He just has a low part in it, as it is Johny's show.

 

A tremendous album.

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.
 

 

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.

IMHO Derek Trucks is an exceptional player blues slide guitar. Ry Cooder is another.

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

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.

I've just updated my post above about Derek Trucks to include Ry Cooder as another exceptional blues slide guitarist.

Rory Gallagher recorded Who's That Coming for the remarkable 1973 Tattoo but, as usually used to happen with the Irishman, the song found its best live version, specifically on the legendary Irish Tour the following year. For the song Gallagher abandons, momentarily, his legendary Stratocaster from 61 to play with one of his favourites on the slide, his white 66 Fender Telecaster. The results are as spectacular as one would expect from one of the best guitarists of all time.
