The 1981 Listening Post - Les Dudek - Gypsy Ride

 Les Dudek - Gypsy Ride



#708

1981 Housekeeping

Les Dudek

Gypsy Ride

Genre: Session Guy Rock




Highlights:

Deja Vu (Da Voodoo’s in You)

Too Damn Dizzy

I’m O.K.



I thought Les Dudek was a jazz guy. Who is he?

He played for Box Scaggs and Stevie Nicks and Steppenwolf and Steve Miller. He sounds just like a guy who be employed by those people. One listen to his guitar work on “Deja Vu (Da Voodoo’s in You”) and you get it. He’s a session guy with major chops. 

And that’s what’s all over this record: opportunities for Dudek to show off his mettle. Are there songs? Sure. Do they matter? Not really. But what’s he gonna do? Just put out a record of lead guitar stuff?
