I loved Dickey's playing and will forever miss that searing guitar sound. Enlightened Rogues is a really great record in addition to all the classic Allman Brothers records. The band had broken up a ... | |

One of my recent favorites is Catalinbread’s Adineko, based on the Tel-Ray oil can delay. It really adds an eery, mysterious quality. | |
