Junior Kimbrough - Most things haven't worked out
Thanks for the link to Kimbrough in another thread. I can imagine the old man with his gitar sitting by the gate between heaven and hell smoking his cigar playing for the lost souls arriving in either direction. If this is not the real thing I don't know - the playing is like a slowly moving unstoppable force of nature - pure fire - it's down and dirty, up and holy.

Mississippi Fred McDowell - Good Morning Little School Girl - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0L2aUSSfO38
"Fred McDowell was extraordinarily open with his music. In fact, he was occasionally criticized by his peers for being too willing to let people "steal" from him. I asked him one time why he was so generous in sharing and teaching the music. I said that there were other players who guarded their techniques and felt ripped-off when they heard one of their licks played by someone else. Fred said, "You know, I won't be around here forever. But I know that after I am dead and gone, they'll know in their hearts that it was me that showed it to them. And that's one way I'll live on and on and on. That's not so bad, is it?"
It's not so bad. Fred knew you couldn't patent a blues lick, and he knew that you couldn't exactly copy one of his licks either. Because it was truly a live/life music, an extension of the man he was. He was happy to share the tools of his trade. He knew it all came back around anyway."

Guns n'Roses - Knockin On Heavens Door - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2tmc8rJgxUI
So much hated by Dylan purists that I do not have enough self control to stay away from posting this example of G n'R excellence.
In my dream world Dylan one day stands up praising the version. Just a dream. LOL

Donald,
Thank you for sharing. When dealing with the guitar solo I guess it will always come back to Hendrix - time and time again.
