Alison Krauss and Union Station, Choctaw Hayride

.....My latest Crush !
I'm with you buddy!
I fell in love with Alison Krauss in late middle age, mine not hers, when New Favorite came out. "Let me Touch You" off that record is flat out erotic, at least it is in the video that my imagination made up for it. "The Lucky One" is one my favorite songs and "Choctaw Hayride" is as good as Bluegrass instrumentals come.

By the way, the studio, UMG, blocks playing your link inside other apps but after DC users get the error message they can watch it in YouTube by either clicking the title bar or the "watch on YouTube" link inside the error message.

Jorma Kaukonen "Embryonic Journey" Jefferson Airplane; "Hesitation Blues" Hot Tuna

Maybe Embryonic Journey was Primitive Psychedelic Rock in 1966 when Jefferson Airplane recorded it on Surrealistic Pillow.

Fifty years later, Jorma Kaukonen is still refining that fingerpicking style. The earliest recording I've ever heard of "Hesitation Blues" was made in 1916 and it was an old song then.

In the Airplane and early Hot Tuna days, Jorma would sometimes use steel fingerpicks on electric guitar. I don't mind he don't do that much anymore.
 
I featured Jefferson Airplane's lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen awhile back "Long as I am in this world.." "Quah!"

"Burgers" was Hot Tuna's best album.

"Deep River Blues" Doc Watson

I featured Jefferson Airplane's lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen awhile back "Long as I am in this world.." "Quah!"

"Burgers" was Hot Tuna's best album.

My favorite Jorma Kaukonen record is Blue Country Heart and my favorite song off it is "Big River Blues."

But for my money, Doc Watson is still the master of that genre. Some say the mantle passed to Jorma when Doc died a few years ago. I dunno; pretty big shoes to fill.

Emmylou Harris & Mark Knopfler "Red Dirt Girl"; Gillian Welch "Red Clay Halo"

LT, apparently our tastes overlap in more ways than one. Somehow, I think she's just as attractive now. Back up guitar player might have a future in the business too.

And speaking of Red Dirt. I been in love with the music this pair makes since their Revival record more than 20 years ago. I wish he'd throw in an instrumental once in a while.
