I saw Jorma and Jack at Skipper's in Tampa. I don't think it was booked as Hot Tuna. Must've been around '05 or so. Great show but lemme tell you what, Casady has to be the best rock bassist in history. He stole the show. Wasn't even really the flash, it was just his whole groove. Apparently there had been talk of him and Hendrix getting together for a project in the 60's but it never materialized but that would've truly been something epic.

Yeah but an actual collaborative project never materialized. That would've been something. Casady was kind of like the Hendrix of the bass guitar in his day IMO.
 
Killer funk-blues from Albert. Some great tone in here...

I'm OK with their live stuff being as raw as it is except for those final 1980 shows where it's so obvious that Page was smacked out of his mind, but I can see why Page's live playing wouldn't be your thing, brother.
 
Sweet live track from Paul Butterfield. Man his harp sounds great.
 
I was listening to this all morning. Dude was such a killer blues player. Man, this is what it's all about. Spanking clean-clean technique.
 
This one is being especially dedicated to my friend @JohnnyGtar You should check out the whole album bro, it's Cain's best work so far.

That song hit home for me big time. My old man got me started too. Didn't want me messing with his axe. Guess who didn't listen? Yeah that's right, lol. I need to go see him this fall or winter and get the hell outta Texas for a week or so....

The title track is a banger. Man his solos have the best note choice. So unique and smooth...
