I love that song. It was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar as a teenager. The “Ventures” did an acceptable cover of the song, but it just didn’t have that bluesy feel that Doggett had.
Doggett also had a song called “Hold It”, which of the several bands I’ve had over the years, we always used for a theme/break song.
The funny part is, Bill Doggett played the organ, not the guitar. I don’t remember his guitar players name anymore, but I think he had several over time.
Sorry, gang, but these are rather unremarkable solos. (somebody had to say it).
My favorite version of this song was by King Curtis -
Because this subject is completely a matter of taste, I won’t specifically disagree and I won’t entertain an argument with anyone who disagrees with me but, I would put the solo in Pink Floyd’s Dogs of War at the top of the Sax list.
Oh man, I feel like a teenager again!
Great find! This song still gets some airplay on the oldies stations. Just one of those tomeless classics.
thanks
Another good one from back then circa 1957 was 7-11 by the Gone All Stars.
Time - Pink Floyd
Arpeggios from Hell - Ingwie Malmsteem
For Jazz and fingerstyle, my favorite guitarist is:
Steven King - King of Guitar
For classical, it must be:
Paganini's 24th Caprice - Li Jie
No mention of Paganini would be complete without 16 year old Jason Becker's heavy metal version of:
Paganini's 5th Caprice - Jason Becker
Of course, there is the fashion-impaired Ewan Dobson:
Paganini's 5th Caprice - Ewan Dobson
I don’t know, Claptons second solo on the Wheels of Fire version of Crossroads is pretty amazing.
that there is some good music
