Any Huey Lewis & the News fans?

Satriani

Great guitarist (Chris Hayes I think). Very tasteful. Listen to 'if this is it' for a great shot guitar intro and solo

AlanRatcliffe

Yeah it was Chris Hayes - a jazzer by nature, who somehow ended up playing rock 'n roll with Huey. Very tasteful player.

Here here! I do say, those guys can really play.

Yeah and not just axe! Harmonica is nicely potrayed in Bad is bad

Been giving the late Robert Palmer a few spins too lately

Good band. Some real good harmony singing too; eg. "Do you believe in love".

Another favourite. "Johnny & Mary"'s a very moody and cool song IMHO.

Johnny & Mary! Geeez - 1981 ?

What about the Boss & the ESB?

Have all the ESB and Bruce solo albums. Aside for the classics, some of my favourites are "Trapped" (released only on the We are the World album in the 80s), the live intro to The River where Boss talks about doing his army physical, and most of the maligned Tunnel of Love album. Also loved The Rising album - thought it was a strong "comeback" of sorts.

Yeah the Boss, all of the ESB and particularly Nils Lofgren big favourites! ?

Found the original promo video. Precious how surprised RP looks when recording fades out in front of live studio audience!! ?

Tina Turner did a pretty cool Tinaesque cover of it:

Ya we lost a lot when Rob joined the great gig in the sky.

Nebraska and The River were interesting releases for me. I always wondered what the hell they did to that harmonica to get it sounding so unusual. Not that it's a problem for me though ?

One song: "Jacobs Ladder." Its amazing. I heard Bruce Hornsby cover it, he did great giving this song a spot light.
I love H and the News, they were a great band.
