David Lindley tunes...
Thanks for posting...
A friend made me a mix tape, and this song, from the "El Ray X Live" EP, was on it. I knew of his work with Jackson Browne but at that point had no idea he had done solo work. I've heard "Mercury Blues" from a number of other players, including Steve Miller, and none of them come close to the "shot out of a cannon" urgency of Lindley. He took what was basically a good, but unremarkable, blues number and morphed it into his own "Johnny B. Goode" rave-up.
