Buddy Guy's Stone Crazy has gems throughout! For jazz, I LOVE Wes on Smokin' at the Halfnote, especially on Pfrancing and Four on Six! For rock, Jimmy Page's work on disc 2 of How the West was Won is astounding. Made me revisit the Zep catalog!
Guitar Solos
As a serious music listener and a musician,(although I am a drummer) nothing makes me shiver like a good guitar solo. It's seems to be a dying art,at least in popular music. Still lots of good guitar in blues and jazz. Some of my favs : Dear John by Jack Semple ,La Grange By Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Aqualung By Martin Barre with Jethro Tull and Bluest Blues by Alvin Lee. I'd love to check out some other peoples favs, a couple old and maybe a couple new??
