Another favorite guitar player, who I was fortunate to see in a small club in Pittsburgh years ago: Leo Kottke

Always liked his cover of this Tom T Hall song:

Pamela Brown - Leo Kottke



Steely Dan was one of the first bands that I ever liked a lot.

I love this song and I like the way Wilco covers it:

Any Major Dude - Wilco

Perhaps it is partially because Wild at Heart is one of my all time favorite movies, but I love Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.
