366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 253 Number 114 Rod Stewart


'Mine For Me': written by Macca and featuring him on b. vox. You can hear him around the 3:30 mark...

'Sailing' is a cover of The Sutherland ('Arms Of Mary') Brothers' song. Not a lot of people know that...

And here is a cover of the Todd song. I never knew he did this...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 252 Number 115 Michael Carpenter

Why Michael Carpenter is not a massive worldwide success is beyond me.
An Australian multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, producer, you name it : a true musical genius.
Sadly, there are slim pickings to be found on here.
Do yourself the proverbial favour and buy Rolling Ball on Not Lame records
Then listen to 'Good Enough'...*sadly not available on youtube

OK guys and gals, here's a bonus track for you. This is in my Top 10 Australian songs of all time. Thanks to Michael for putting up the link. Hope it works. Please enjoy a fraction over four minutes of aural bliss...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 249 Number 118 Dire Straits

Mark Knopfler is easily one of rock's greatest ever guitarists. And one of the most distinctive.
Oh, and a southpaw playing right-handed too...

Hmmm, Hal Lindes...



366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 248 Number 119 Traveling Wilburys

This is the only act in my countdown to feature each member in an additional (individual or band) post.
The Traveling Wilburys (or, as one customer put it, back in the late 80s at the London Virgin Megastore - The Wandering Wallabies...) comprised Nelson, Charlie, Otis, Lefty and Lucky, A.K.A. George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan.
The remaining members changed their names for their second album (Vol. 3) to Spike, Clayton, Muddy and Boo respectively.

This video features an array of cameos, including the lovely Fred Savage!
I'm a proud owner of one of the Traveling Wilburys 3/4 Gretsches. I believe there were only 100 made, and they all feature unique artwork. (Mine has the 'T' from the 'The'...)
