  • "Live in Tokyo"

  • Dude these comments are just so ridiculous You don't know who the f...Jimmy Raney is. And you're too f;ing stupid to realize that I ain't him, Even in this era of the internet where info is everywhere.

  • to prev poster

    r u f'ng kidding me man?

  • Yes, that explains everything...

  • I don't understand the question at all. Fmajor Iie. FGABb C D E doesn't go thru this entire song. Why would you want to. F is just the key

  • You acknowledge it's not trad blues yet quibble that it isn't. The point being? If preference is to hear blues ideas that conform to certain models rather than a bebop hybrid that's your perogative. It's no more rehearsed than traditional based blues one where the player uses more idiomatically restricted set of ideas that he's played before but not in that order. An artist is to have a consistent vision. If he played standards like Jimmy Raney but blues like B.B. King you'd wonder why.

  • @montgomerylatin Whoah! What planet have I been living on?! I just checked out some Doug Raney on Amazon! Fantastic! I'm going to get one of these, too (Raney '96?).

  • Smokin'!!!! Wow, I've been blind: my listening has always started with Post Bop (I had all the earlier guitarists pigeonholed together in my mind!). This is amazing, though: drive, excitement, fantastic phrasing. I'm going to go get me some Jimmy Raney CDs!!! Any suggestions?

  • Very nice version of Billie's Bounce !...

  • Che grande assolo. Jimmy Raney magnifico

  • @raneyjr Well said! As I write, I'm listening to your rendition, and can tell anyone your Dad would be proud, and is probably looking down on us at this moment. A friend I'm sure you've at least heard of, Danny Embrey, once told me how wonderful Jimmy's playing was. god bless you, and "Take no Prisoners!!

  • Thanks for sharing! What a great musician

  • One of the greatest guitarists ever...
