Well, danged, this last "Top Ten" is gonna take a little explaineratin'. Three years ago I figured that I needed a change, went to Blues Week at Davis and Elkins College and spent a week learning to play blues from Sparky Rucker, John Jackson and Cephis and Wiggins but before that....

"Love Song" by Tesla. Wow, nice love song. Opps. just said that...

"Alive" by Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. Talk about emotion? Whew... Smokes...

The Arch Angels "Sent by Angels" rocks and sings Praise at the same time...

The Black Crows "Remedy" cooks with gas and has a lot to say...

"Mountain" by Tonic is as fine a hard drivin' rock song that has ever been recorded. Might of fact, Tonic rocks!

Now there's a lesser known feller out there by the name of Mark Germano who has a lot to say and says it very well in "The Rat and the Snake". He tells it like it is...

Then the Bobert got his *blues thing* on and, though I could do
another thirty blues songs will round out my last "ten" with:

"Empire State Express" by Son House and...

"61 Highway" by Mississippi Fred McDowell and...

"Crossroads Blues" by Robert Johnson and...

Alvin Hart Youngblood's "Livin' in a Strain"

Yeah, that's not to ignore Charlie Patton, Muddy Waters, Corey Harris, my main man Sparkey Rucker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Furry Lewis, Little Walter, Guy Davis but....
