    I’ve been reading a book about James Calvin Wilsey, a largely unknown dude whose biggest claim to fame was writing the lead guitar part on Chris Isaac’s “Wicked Game”, which was a significant part of making that song a blockbuster that was plastered all over radio and MTV. 

    But before that, he was the bass player for the Avengers, arguably the best bay area punk band from the 70s and pretty much why l bought the book. Say what you will about SF, but that tiny 7 square mile city has cranked out some magnificent rock n roll over the years. This is largely considered the Avengers’ Magnus opus.

    I'm intrigued - Randy Travis had a bad stroke a few years? ago.

    But with AI, they created a song using his voice.

    If you have ever heard any of his songs - a few are favorites on my guitar....

    I just ran across this song at random thought it was pretty damn interesting

    I know absolutely nothing about the artist.

    I like the strings. They climb high.

    So you’re a Genesis guy? I’ve heard you people exist. I hung with all 20 minutes and it was fantastic. Whoever twisted the knobs to get the mix right nailed it. 

    Collins’ “No Jacket Required” is a masterpiece imo, and Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” helped me get laid at least twice, but l’ve never really delved much into Genesis. Where do you suggest l start?

    i guess there are so many to suggest - check out the concert DVDs where they typically play their "old stuff" as well as the radio played songs. My first listen was Trick of the Tail album in 1976 when my drummer friend from HS came over with it to share his thoughts on the time signature changes and specifically the drumming. He sold me!  

    fast forward to today original guitar player Steve Hackett is still out there playing alot of the groups older stuff - Daryl Stuermer also playing versions of them.  Keyboardist Tony Banks is an incredibly underrated composer & writer.

    Ooh, l have it on vinyl! A byproduct of buying too many darn records in my younger years that l still haven’t listened to. Scale for scale.

    I fired it up last night front to back, it was a great listen. They have a real suddenness to their songs, tempo changes and melodies that come outta nowhere and hook ya. Thanks for the rec. I’m going to start making my way through more of their catalog.

    This is entirely Fairhooker’s fault. I’ve been on a full on Genesis/Phil Collins bender. This is the barnburner from “No Jacket Required”. 

    The chorus consistently has me reaching for my air guitar. That big dirty chord after “Billy!” gets me every time.

    Lucian Thor doesn’t get enough recognition in the “greatest drummers ever” conversation. Drummer for Valiant Thor their first few albums. I’m serious. I put this guy up there with Bonham/Peart/Moon.

    Any Mellencamp fans? His album “Lonesome Jubilee” is the one. He somehow got the great idea to add a crap ton of accordion and fiddle and other earthy instrumentation to his songs and it works like a charm.
