ZZ TOP "I Thank You" an Oliver Quayle cover

We all agreed that our next video would be a ZZ Top tune. For one thing, we're big fans of their music, and another thing, we really relate to their light hearted attitude and sense of humor. All their music is great, so we wondered which one should we do? How about one of their cover tunes, the David Porter/Isaac Hayes song "I Thank You" that Sam and Dave first covered? Yeah! Thats a sweet tune we can do! No problem... 'till we get to the slide guitar solo/fade. Rockin' Ron just doesn't play much slide guitar these days, so he was having a little trouble getting that "Sound". So Catfish suggests that he try his own licks and maybe beef it up with a little wah-wah and/or some reverse guitar effects. Hmmm... why not? Needless to say we were quite pleased with what we heard in the final mix and, as they say, the rest is history. And yes, that's us doing all the lead-in tunes which we do plan to have videos for in the not to distant future. So stay tuned...
