Skunk Baxter, if you don’t already know, is one of the great guitar players of our time. He played with Steely Dan, as a founding member, where he appeared on such great albums as “Can’t Buy A Thrill”, “Countdown To Ecstasy” & “Pretzel Logic”. Skunk Baxter moved on from Steely Dan to join the Doobie Brothers. Starting on their 1975 album titled “Stampede”. He also brought Michael McDonald into the Doobie Brothers, who also sings on this solo album from Skunk Baxter. As you listen to the man play, you can hear what a great guitar player he really is. This album is top notch & Baxter plays some great originals as well as some covers including “My Old School” from Steely Dan. Skunk also sings on the album & he sings really well. In addition to playing with Steely Dan & The Doobie Brothers, Baxter, being a session player, has also played with Dolly Parton, Donna Summer, Sheryl Crow, Barbara Streisand, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Gene Simmons, and even Ringo Starr, as well as many others. I give this album 5 out of 5 Music Guru stars. Buy this ASAP.
