Here’s a selection of cracking R&B instrumentals and scarcely a chart hit amongst them. Guitar-led rockers from the West Coast with fiery picking and heavy blues/rock riffs from Johnny Talbot Travis Wammack and Roy Buchanan and some early fuzzbox action from Lou Josie of the Ho-Dads. There’s Louisiana sounds from Mac “Dr. John” Rebennack and Robert Parker with Mid-West guitar grooves by Tommy Tucker Freddy King and Little Milton. Up in New York you’ve got B.B. King Wild Jimmy Spruill and King Curtis blowing out on Soul Train. Dave Lewis and The Exotics were from Seattle and there’s even a Canadian group future comedian Tommy Chong’s Little Daddy & The Bachelors. These are the records Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Dave Davies Jeff Beck et al were listening to in 1964.
