Pretty sure this is Mike. It put me on the edge of my chair. The outro gets interesting.

That song was previously released. Can’t remember who did it.

Jerry Lee Lewis had a good version.

Gregg Galbraith and James Mitchell played electric guitars. That’s some cool pickin.

Thanks, Fred.

James Mitchell is credited on track 8. Track 13, however, doesn't sound to me like Gregg's style. I could be wrong, of course.

The whole track (the link on this thread) is superb!

Guitar pickin sounds very much like my ol' band mate Ray Flacke- but then he's copied a lot- Hah !
Nice ZUM 12 D9 2 Roland Cubes,+ various effects and bits.

I was thinking it sounded like him too, but then a lot of players have nicked him and Albert Lee. Nothing against that, of course. The playing on that tune is great and if somebody told me I sounded anything like either of those two I would take it as a huge compliment.

Going by all the places that album was recorded in it must be like a greatest hits album and in that case there's no telling who's playing on what but the credits list does narrow it down a bit.

I think it's more 'Brent' than 'Albert' or 'Ray', but there are similarities in approach with all those guys. Albert's probably the 'fountainhead' of the style, though, to give credit where I think it's due.
