Hot Ptah Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have liked what I have heard of blues artists Lucky Peterson, both live and on his recordings. I think he is a very versatile musician. He plays piano and organ well. He recorded a credible version of Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't" on organ, for example. But his electric guitar soloing is where I think he is truly phenomenal, an excellent soloist by any standard. I have some of his albums. He seems to want to stay away from his blues electric guitar soloing, and present himself as a well rounded musician, with soulful vocals and tunes, some acoustic guitar stylings, and a lot of keyboards. I can respect all of that. But, does he have any albums where he records a lot of electric guitar solos? Does anyone know that? I would like to avoid buying twenty or more of his albums to find the few where he does a lot of electric guitar soloing. The online reviews of his albums do not seem to mention this fact one way or the other. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I can answer, as I believe I have all of his leader recordings. His most guitar focused recording is the most recently released one--Travelin' Man, on JSP. It is quite good. Also, while you're at it, Son of A Bluesman (also a recent release) features an absolutely great guitar instrumental, Nana Jarnell.
