| Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues by tireiron | 3 years ago |
thanks for the comments. but i gotta give credit where it's due. John Schlough did the vocal. he had a great voice and i really miss him. that slippery slidey guitar in there is an amazing guy named steve sprague. he's one of those people who make the rest of the band sound good i think jon kelly did the honors on bass on this and he lays down a rock solid bottom. everyone says "oh, just a rhythm guitar player." well without that guy, the song just doesn't have a body and adam clark provides the musical body on this. it was a true pleasure to work with these guys. |
