Casual wear; was this on a cruise?

Kid v. Charlie - kind of like asking a pothead if he/she prefers sativa over indica. Either way you're still high, high, high.

I go back to the late 70's with Little Charlie & the Nightcats before Charlie & Rick even started recording. Charlie was/is a great guitarist (he still plays a bit, "gipsy jazz" these days, plus occasional "guest" appearances with Rick & the band) and so is Kid Anderson. And Rick is one of the great blues harp players ever - in my opinion, he ranks with not only the best of today but the best of all time.

i'll always love charlie batys playing. a real guitar master for sure.

but i think kid doesn't have to worry about filling anybodys shoes but his own. he has his own voice, and i agree the way he takes chances makes for some real on the edge of your seat exciting music.

[2bonzandapick]

Kid! some exciting playing!

[skydog46]

Baty is a master. Kid, is still getting better...and he's a breath of fresh air compared to so many other guitar players. Kid takes chances. I like that.

[blaster1985]

Charley was more fluid.

The Nightcats are great. They've been my favorite band for many years. Charley Baty was great, but the Kid carries his weight. Rick's fantastic... always... A truly Great Band.

very cool tune..Great sound

[ozbluesman]

Kid has stepped up into some pretty big shoes and plays his ass off. He is a great player. Fantastic band. Listen to the rhythmn section ! One of my favourite bands of all time. Thank you.

This is wonderful, many thanks for posting it.

I confess that I hadn't heard about Little Charlie's retirement. I saw Little Charlie & The Nightcats five or six times in the U.K., always excellent.

Well, this guitar man can blow too! he's my kind of player. But the whole thing is great.

Thanks again and best wishes from the Isle of Man, U.K.
