Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo

Post by Mike Neer »

If you hate Rock music, run!
Great tune by Johnny Winter, my version based on Rick Derringer's version.
All lap steel tracks played on my Clinesmith D-10 non-pedal.

Awe yeah, baby!
Loved it! The ghost solo behind the main lead reminded me of the Beatles "Let It Be".
I was grooving in place as I listened.

Attaboy Mike! For those who believe that the steel guitar is a "country" instrument...I emplore you to reconsider your position after listening to this.

Totally Bad To The Bone!!!!!!!
Loved hearing that great tone on the solo!
I always thought that RD's guitar sounded a little too brittle on the original record.

I do, too. I had Rick's 45rpm of the tune and it always sounded like it was flanged by tape manipulation to me, and that it was squeezed by a limiter, but was a clean guitar sound by today's standards.

Then I heard Johnny Winter's original version--I think that is what my tone is a little closer to.

I was surprised to see this thread pop up again--thanks for listening!
