I know just watching him sussing it out, he has total respect to the music.

Bob Scaggs was 78 yesterday. Jeez, it makes me feel old!

Will give Silk Degrees a spin this evening prompted by that.

It never ages for me, it will always be one of my classic albums.
Meanwhile, this collaboration with Duane Allman is as good as modern electric blues get IMO
I often wonder what Duane Allman would have gone on to produce had it not been for his tragic accident. Such a talent.
The song is from Somebody Loan Me A Dime - Fenton Robinson - and if anyone knows of a good vinyl copy, Iāll snatch their hands off.

Beth Orton is bloody brilliant. Her voice gives me goosebumps at times. Iām glad, from an entirely selfish perspective, that she didnāt make it really big so I can still get to see her in small intimate venues.
In case you didnāt know, that collaboration is also on this excellent EP
Thanks, I wasnāt aware of that, I have all the albums but missed that EP.

yeah I watched that the following day, I did find the guy slightly annoying.
Iāve watched a few of the Drumeo vids while Iām stuck at home with Covid, including the Phil Collins appreciation one which really surprised me how much heās held in respect as a drummer, not sure why I should be surprised but I was.
He would rate as one of the greatest of all time. His variety and delivery was exceptional.
I would rate him as in the Top Ten Prog, Top 20 Rock, and Top 50 Jazz/Fusion drummers.

I never knew about the Jazz/fusion, really surprised me.
For me I really only know him from his pop music and later poppy Genesis and I knew he was a good drummer but not that good.
Iāve been watching a genesis reunion interview on youtube this morning. Really amazing how lacking in knowledge I am of bands such as them
Have a search through Brand X clips. Some of his work for them is just out of this world.

Cheers will do.
Would it be fair to say it was his emergence from behind the drum kit that tainted his reputation?
I would agree with that.
I think further to that I donāt mind, and indeed like, Genesis when he first started to replace Gabriel but it was the direction he took them. I like Trick of the Tail and Afterglow, and Seconds Out is a real stand out for me, but after that I lost interest.
