... The side that doesn't debate or argue about who the "best lead guitarist of all time" was (or currently is) among the Yardbirds!...
Merely because I genuinely believe that the "Soul of the Yardies" LIES ELSEWHERE!!!...
So, for those of you who don't know him very well, let's just say that, besides being "your all-time favourite Yardbirds drummer", Jim has been involved in many other projects such as: TOGETHER, RENAISSANCE, SHOOT, ILLUSION, RUTHLESS BLUES, BOX OF FROGS, STAIRWAY, STAIRWAY & STERN, BRITISH INVASION ALL-STARS, TOP TOPHAM BAND, PRETTY THINGS/YARDBIRD BLUES BAND, JIM MCCARTY BAND, MCCARTY/HITE PROJECT, PILGRIM, THE YARDBIRDS EXPERIENCE... (and God knows what else...;-)
... actively being involved in songwriting, singing, performing as an acoustic rhythm guitarist and keyboardist, acting at times as a producer... as well as more recently, launching his own solo career at last!... :-)
Therefore I hope you can all appreciate the fact that he's more than just a "pretty face"!... (although, personally speaking, I don't have any objection to the latter!... ;-) ♥
