                                                                             Steve Pryor
                                                                  and the Mighty Kingsnakes

 Sometimes they had a keyboard player , and on occasion back in the day an incredible electric washboard player would sit in with the boys , but at their core they were a 3 chord power trio .

 Then there was a band from Little Rock Arkansas that apparently disappeared somewhere over Arizona that went by JJ McVeigh and the Moneymakers. Those boys could throw down also .

Hard to argue with Cream or ZZ Top or Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble.. Or Rory Gallagher. Or the James Gang - never knew they were a trio. Or Rush. Or Grand Funk.

I'll throw in another: Robin Trower, Reg Isidore and James Dewar. Every time I hear "Bridge of Sighs" I marvel that its only 3 guys.

Well , the first thing is the guitars have to be plugged into a great big stack of Marshall amplifiers  :shocked: :grin:

 Dusty

Well by comparison Crosby, Stills & Nash is a lot more electric than Peter, Paul & Mary...where's that stack of amplifiers now!

ZZ TOP  :thumb:

I've seen ZZ Top more than any arena band.  Going back to 1972 opening for Humble Pie in Tulsa.  And Billy G mentions his visit with Jimi.

Nevertheless, the BOJ live album was just great.  It's #1 for me.  I mean Billy Cox can keep it together as whole the whole thing goes.

I suppose if I had seen Hendrix (+ Buddy Miles), I might have a different opinion.  I'd see Stevie R a few times too.  I especially liked the show he jammed with Huey Lewis in Norfolk in '84.  One of the best shows ever. 

"Who knows?"    :laugh:

My garage band used to play some Mountain stuff.  Since no one knew it, it was like we had done it ourselves.

The Kingston Trio? NOT!
For me it's Rush, followed closely by Cream. :popcorn:

The James Gang.





Someone explain what happened to those guys from Cleveland?




BTW, my garage band used to play "Walk Away".  I got the double hi hat going on it.

Guys, lots of good stuff.  I mean Stevie Ray is a pretty good one.  ZZ Top for sure.  James Gang? I'd forgotten.  All good stuff.

But I have to say that Hendrix live record is still on top.  I think we'll have to promote the The Band of Gypsies as the all star Wild Guzzi best power trio of all time.

Thanks for playing.   :wink:




Of course I might be wrong.

The Big Sky Project - Never heard of them? Not a lot of people have, I'd say a very lucky handful, literally..  :wink:

TBSP was power trio we formed and I was in about 10-12 years ago. That's me 11 years ago on the left playing a '77 Fender Precision Bass in Olympic white.
