Hi guys,

I've been turned on to slide guitar recently. Been listening to some Dire Straits and Chris Rea.

Also, I always loved Charlie Burchill's slide guitar on Simple Minds' Street Fighting Years' title track.

What albums should I be looking at for more great slide guitar?

Cheers

Thanks. Looking more for rock than blues.

Little Feat records have some great slide, though you sometimes have to listen very hard for it. But sometimes not :)

That's about all I know in the rock vein; most of the great slide players I know of are blues players.

Derick Trucks would be my suggestion

And of course, if you don't mind blues with a more rock tinge, there's the Allman Brothers Band; highly recommended is the "Live At Fillmore" album.

Lowel George was about as good as it will get, check out A Apolitical Blues.

Thanks guys.

My favorite Ry Cooder albums are "Into The Purple Valley" and "Paradise and Lunch".

They're pretty folk-countryish, but with a pinch of R&B.

Any YES album featuring the great Steve Howe. He uses a Fender pedal steel guitar with lots of overdrive. Absolute bliss.

I'd say Keb Mo and Ry Cooder, also Albert Ray? if that's the guy I'm thinking off. You tube is always a help.

Duane Allman has been mentioned previously who plays slide on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominoes which is well worth checking out - he plays slide guitar on the title track.

Joe Bonamassa does the odd bit of slide guitar too. His solo on "One Of These Days" is gorgeous.

Try this... Herbie Mann with Duane Allman. One of my all-time favorites.
