    As a former guitar player, I appreciate all the great players around today. There are a bunch of men and women who have stunning technique and some of them even understand music. But after all these years Billy Gibbons remains my favorite guitar player.

    Do yourself a favor and listen through to the end on this one. Blues rock as only ZZ Top can do:



    Oh, and if you come away thinking "that's nothing... Gibbons doesn't even shred" you have totally missed the point.

    I've found that the older I get, the more blues I like in my rock. That doesn't mean pure blues, but I like that bluesy undercurrent. Take this for example:



    The best way I can describe it is "What if ZZ Top and Pink Floyd got really really high together and started watching anime?"

    It's a solid album overall, with several stand-out tracks, but this one is probably the most balanced between the two styles.

    I recently found these ladies, who seem to be hell bent on preserving some badass blues, but this one hits pretty hard despite being softer musically.

    Unfortunately for me, I heard of ZZ Top when they were doing pop stuff like Legs and they didn't appeal to me at all. But that one chord blues thing in LaGrange is pretty kick butt. I like the song that they based it on:



    And I like Canned Heat's own one chord thing. One of the most underrated bands of the 60's, in my humble opinion. Alan Wilson is the man.

    O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason.

    Yeah I definitely gravitate more to their bluesy, edgier stuff.

    Here's a nice take on a rock classic by The Dave Rawlings Machine (AKA Gillian Welch with members of Old Crow Medicine Show and The Punch Brothers)



    Yes, that is John Paul Jones on mandolin.

    It turns out the girl he's singing about is Joni Mitchell (!)

    Speaking of bluesy stuff, love me some church of misery.
