Sessioncat,
Johnny Paycheck sideman, and recent inductee into the Band,
Jim Weider, his Honky Tonk Gurus, and a role call of top musicians (
Tony Levin,
David Sancious,
Garth Hudson, et al.) take on
Weider's roots rock guitar instrumentals and tunes as disparate as
Jimi Hendrix's "Little Miss Lover,"
Chuck Berry's "Deep Feeling,"
Bobby Womack's "I'm in Love," and the
Jimmy Cliff standard "Many Rivers to Cross." With
Weider's unquestionable ability to give rock, blues, and R&B the full guitar-athon treatment, the results should find him fans among contemporary blues freaks and jam-band followers.
