Glad Mr. Spedding was mentioned--woefully underrated by the GenPop; revered by musicians because no matter the music, he always brings it. His Site: http://www.chrisspedding.com/ << look at "21st Century Session Man"--he offers to add to your recording (for a fee, of course). His Wiki which expands AMG's work listings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Spedding
Some more (including his hit)?

Ian Matthews version of "Seven Bridges Road" just walks all over the Eagles take, and "Woodstock" hasn't been done better either.

1942....Paul McCartney, that makes him 73
no explanation needed for this guy(unless of course youve spent the last fifty-three years on Venus And Mars!

this one im posting is the biggest selling single of his career,
it racked up 2million sales in the UK(the first single to achieve it) and spent nine weeks at #1 over there....
so sit down,reach for the cans and enjoy the bagpipes which make this average song all the more brilliant!

"beautiful night"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkiV3WzWW50 video,awesome ballad

"so bad"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycXpx46plpQ video, lovely falsetto in this one

"daytime nightime suffering"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWmBs8s4hFA a "B" side,would have been an "A" side for most other artists

"ive had enough"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbOaohaFYlQ a good solid rocker with Wings

Ray La Montagne was born on this day in 1973 in New Hampshire. He was a late starter musically but seems to have made up for lost time, winning a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2010 with God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise.

He’s released five albums so far - this is from Till the Sun Turns Black -

Ann Wilson was born on this day in 1950 in San Diego, California. This lady still has a real rock powerhouse of a voice as was evidenced by the performance that I would think most people have seen - “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Centre. Aside from her tenure with sister, Nancy, in Heart, she’s also had a solo career and done a number of Led Zep covers through the years.

The one definitive song that will always say Heart to me (whether it’s their best, or not) is this ….

Happy Birthday to Ray Davies, born 21 June 1944. This is one of my very favorites by The Kinks.

Happy Birthday to Kris Kristofferson, 79 years old today. He was born June 22, 1936.


Kris is one of my favorite singer-songwriters.

Ray Davies....
Pop music's most quintessential storyteller of the mundane and hopeless lives/day to day struggles of the good folks of working-class London....
Paul Weller and Billy Bragg come close.....

Kris Kristofferson.....
Not sure whether he is really country or not but a fantastic writer and storyteller nonetheless...

He toured Australia recently to mixed reviews....
At 79, I'd probably be lucky if I could wipe my own ass so you cant really knock a guy for doing what he loves
