A guitarist that I am really getting into as of late. |
|
Ronnie Montrose. I love the first Montrose album. Yes I know Hagar is a freeper, but that album is good, in part because Hagar was a good rock singer back in 1973, but also because of Ronnie. But somebody burned me a Ronnie Montrose solo album yesterday. It is all instrumental in the vein of Joe Satriani and I am digging it. This guy is one hell of a guitarist.

1. I got turned on to Ronnie by a drummer friend of mine in high school |
|
back in 1973. I still have the record in my collection, but have not played it in years. Perhaps I will give it a spin tonight.

3. I just looked up his bio and found this interesting tidbit |
|
Ronnie Montrose was born in Denver, Colarado in 1947 but soon moved to California and began his career as a studio musician, contributing guitar parts to Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey and the Edgar Winter Group’s They Only Come Out At Night playing guitar on “Frankenstein” and "Free Ride." In 1973, he formed his own band first enlisting drummer Denny Carmassi and bassist Bill Church before discovering a frenetic blonde singer named Sammy Hagar at a club in San Francisco.
I never knew that! I guess it pays to read the liner notes.
