I'm old..oldschool myshelf , in my book LESLIE WEST of the band Mountain is still my fav..! he's got that raw sonic riff thing all his own, next would be Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy one of the most under rated bass players there were back in the 70's, may he R.I.P.

Two AMAZING guitar players that don't get much attention are Derek Trucks (blues slide) & Steve Morse formerly from Dixie Dregs & (oddly enough) Kansas. Steve's work with the Dregs & his later solo records are just terrific. These are not just flashy fast players ... for lead parts both of these guys play actual original melodies rather than just blues riffs played too fast. If you are a serious player and/or listener, give both of these guys a listen.

Yeah, there is an Allman brothers connection there. Guitarist Derek Trucks is the son of the Allman Brothers' long-time drummer, Butch Trucks. Very astute of you!

^^^Hey Jumbo it's nephew actually. From Wikipedia
"Trucks was born June 8, 1979, in Jacksonville, Florida. His uncle, Butch, is a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band."
And +1 to Sonny Landreth.

This is true I read it online LOL You are close man, Derek Trucks is Nephew of Butch Trucks... pulled that one out of my 1994 memory banks read about Derek in a guitar mag as a kid. I'm a huge ABB and Warren Haynes fan, shit I can even play ya some Hour Glass, Duane and Gregs pre ABB band a bit poppy for my taste and no room for Duane to go crazy on the Hour Glass tunes.

Ooops! Sorry, I was told he was Butch's son but I never checked on the veracity of that info. Anyway, he's in the family.
