Isn't it interesting when you learn that a notable (if only to you) player is playing on a song you would never associate him/her with?
For example, I have had Paula Cole's excellent "This Fire" CD for years, and only recently read the liner notes. It turns out that Tony Levin is all over that disc. As soon as I listened again, I couldn't believe that I didn't figure it out on my own. The single "Feelin' Love" for instance has a very typical Levin groove and tone. What a cool detail about an already great recording.
Any others? |

His resume is actually quite awesome.

Off the top of my head, Stevie Ray Vaughan on David Bowie's album Let's Dance comes to mind.

Clapton playing on the Beatles' "while My Guitar Gently Weeps" and Roger Waters' "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" were "Oh wow" moments for me. |

Felix did play bass on "Goodbye Cream" 'though, on Baker's "What A Bringdown" where Jack played piano and organ. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
