How well do you know the music of Pat Metheny reshapes Carly Simon's "That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be" into a tender baritone guitar instrumental, while John Fahey’s “Old Southern Medley” weaves Americana with subversive nuance. Paco de Lucía’s “Antonia (Buleria Por Solea)” balances flamenco tradition with modern flair, and Tommy Emmanuel’s "Eva Waits" blends delicate fingerpicking with cinematic tension. Eddie Van Halen’s iconic "Eruption" redefined guitar solos, and Yngwie Malmsteen’s virtuosic "Far Beyond the Sun" revels in neoclassical theatrics. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Riviera Paradise” offers a jazz-tinged reprieve, while Joe Bonamassa’s “Never Give All Your Heart” delivers polished blues-rock. Shawn Lane’s "Improvisation 2" channels chaotic brilliance, and Charlie Hunter’s “Untitled Improvisation #2” merges groove and innovation, with James “Blood” Ulmer adding raw fusion to the mix in “Black Rock.”? Take our 12-track quiz.
This day (January 20, 2012), in Riverside, California, died Jamesetta Hawkins a.k.a. Etta James,an American singer. (more…)
How well do you know the music of Etta James’ fiery vocals never touched Wilson Pickett's groove-laden "In the Midnight Hour," despite myths of a collaboration with B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Wilson Pickett’s gritty delivery also powered "Mustang Sally," born from Mack Rice’s pen. Aretha Franklin’s heartache-infused "Call Me" turned a casual farewell into an emotional anthem, while Sade’s "Paradise" stayed cool and restrained. Parliament’s funky "Do That Stuff" thrived on eccentricity, and Jackie Wilson dazzled with the heartfelt swing of "That’s Why (I Love You So)." Mavis Staples led "I’ll Take You There" with gospel-rooted family textures, and Whitney Houston’s "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" paired glittering ’80s pop with genuine yearning. Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Closer” brought sultry intimacy, and The Roots’ “You Got Me,” with Erykah Badu and Eve, blended vulnerability with neo-soul grooves. Across decades and genres, these tracks capture vivid moments without overreach.? Take our 12-track quiz.
