Forget the cheesy poppy MSM stuff though and check out Gloria’s album from whence this particular tune came - Mi Tierra. Just wonderful stuff if you like more authentic Latin American vibes. One of my favourite albums (still). Chock full of great musicians, including a few Latin heavy weight names. The arrangements are terrific as well. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, it could be argued that Keith was indeed part of the rhythm section as a guitarist. It's not an exclusive club 😀 Edited April 27, 2019 by Mykesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an exclusive club 😀 My point exactly. Although he did play bass on some of their great stuff, Keith and Charlie have always been the foundation of the band’s trademark sound. Without either I don’t think the band could function. This is not meant to disrespect Bill Wyman or Darryl Jones in any way, both fantastic players 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Very good point about the rhythm section not being confined to us and the tub thumpers. I always play well with one of my fave drumming buddies, by well I mean I play less because I'm playing with him and it's what we're doing together that benefits the band. However I also have another friend, a rare gem who is a rhythm guitarist through and through. Sure he can solo but get this - he doesn't want to! He loves locking down the rhythm and when the three of us are together my oh my. It's a powerful engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
