jakenewmanbass Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I haven't seen many keys or guitar players in this list and I consider them to be part of the rhythm section. So: Don Grolnick, Michael Landau, Jimmy Johnson and Carlos Vega of James Taylors' Band. Absolutely awesome song playing. Great arrangements and very giving sectional playing. Rare. Quote

Dr.Dave Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='55947' date='Sep 5 2007, 02:10 PM']McVie and Fleetwood. Not the best musicians in the world, but they were so tight you wouldn't be able to get a cigarette paper between them. I guess that comes from 40 years of playing in the same band. I wish.......[/quote] Agreed. Fleetwood is quoted as saying they're a 'halfway decent rhythm section - I play behind the beat , John plays in front and we meet sort of halfway in the middle' !!!!

thebeat Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Rick Danko and Levon Helm push my buttons as do Jim Lea and Don Powell...Dennis Thompson and Michael Davis of the MC5 also had their moments and for sheer raw power Dave Alexander and Scott Asheton deserve a mention Quote
