The definitive version of Cole’s Law. Peak Zero IMHO.
This would likely been #Kimock’s early 60s #stratocaster, strung 14-65, through the 50 watt #Dumble and blackface #bandmaster in stereo.
Probably the best example I know of of his signature style and tone.
Daily #SteveKimock. A superb #HighAndLonesome from the latter days of SKB.
If someone ever asked me for an example of a perfectly structured and executed guitar solo, I’d pick Amos Garett’s solo in Midnight at the Oasis, Larry Carlton in Kid Charlemagne, and the one in the second half here.

mm mm good cracker!
Daily #SteveKimock. A killer show from the early #SKB era with Rodney, Mitch, and Bobby Vega. The #Dumble making magnificent sounds.
As often happens on the archive, the file names/titles are off by one place, but doesn’t change the killer nature of the music. That #Avalon!

Daily #SteveKimock. And now for something completely different. Steve takes us through the #gear used on the #SatelliteCity album.
A #Teisco “through an #Acoustic 150 and a JBL. Just to piss the purists off!” 😂😂

Daily #SteveKimock. This version of his signature tune #ColesLaw often gets mentioned as the definitive performance. I can’t disagree. And as always, it’s followed by a delicious version of #TangledHangers.
The #guitar is a white 60s #Stratocaster with #Danelectro lipstick tube pickups, strung w D’Addarios 14 18 28w 38 49 64 (no shit!). I’m guessing the amp is a 50 watt #Dumble paired with a #Fender of some type. #Lexicon LXP1 reverb.

Daily #SteveKimock track. Staying with the Holmes-Mathis-Walter lineup, here’s a massive 30 minute version of one of his signature pieces, It’s Up to You.
Starts with the Caribbean flavor but then veers into the wide open section over an E ground, which ventures into all manner of places (including some eye popping speed around 16:00, something he’s generally loathe to do).

More #SteveKimock
#GenreOfTheWeek is it #jazz ? #fusion ? Sounds like Bitch's Brew with more guitar to me. Smokin #FenderRhodes, to boot.
The effect mid-way is #JerryGarcia's old #Mutron, tricked into making great noises.
Drummer Rodney Holmes (#Santana, #WayneShorter, the Breckers); keyboardist Robert Walter (#GreyboyAll-Stars, Robert Walter’s 20th Congress); bassist Reed Mathis (#JacobFredOdyssey).
