Instrumentals

[Ribble Claret]

Not sure if we've had this before, if we have I apologise.

Currently on holiday and whilst listening to my iPod on shuffle, Going Home by Mark Knopfler came on.

Not heard it for a long time and I still think it's a great track.

Just wondering what anyone else's favourite instrumental tracks are?

[djt2006]

Jessica by The Allman Brothers. I loved it years before it became the theme for Top Gear.

[dougcollins]

Anything by Bill Nelson.

[RMutt]

There's loads by bands that mainly do instrumentals like Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Durutti Column etc. But in the spirit of bands/artists that usually do vocals also, I'm going for Glistening Glyndebourne by John Martyn.

Journey of the Sorcerer by the Eagles. Ex Burrito Brother Bernie Leadon in fine form.

[Funkydrummer]

Jigsaw Puzzle Blues - Fleetwood Mac.

[mkmel]

Saw Fleetwood Mac back in about 1966 at the Queensway Hall in Dunstable so I assume Peter Green was still with them back then.

Tbh not my type of music but they were performing about a 10 minute walk away from my home so it was convenient and was also somewhere to meet the young ladies.
I was just a young 'un at the time.

[bfccrazy]

B B King - Blues on the Bayou (Blues Boys tune)

[Funkydrummer]

Are you still not converted Mel ?

[longsidetrumpet]

[basil6345789]

Earl van Dyke I Can't Help Myself

[john'sroseyspecs]

Runakuna. Andean folk music. I have the CD if you wish to borrow it.

[COBBLE]

I'm with Firthy, longsidetrumpet/basil6345789 and Earl Van Dyke, but its 6 by 6 and memories of the Rose Room. It's official then that the said Funk Brothers are the Bee Hole End official band. Genuinely question Corky can you suggest something less obvious but just as good?

[spadesclaret]

The Long Road - Mark Knopfler
Time is Tight - Booker T
Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Hugo Montenegro
Duelling Banjos - Glen Campbell & Carl Jackson

[Corky]

Hi Cobble, how about Willie Mitchell's version of Take Five or Jimmy Forrest's original version of Night Train he co-wrote it.

[longsidetrumpet]

Theme From Hill Street Blues - Mike Post

[Juan Tanamera]

This one always reminds me of the FA Cup final.

[midlander63]

I love 'Wonderful Land' by The Shadows.

Plus another vote for 'Six by Six' by Earl Van Dyke

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Si Firmi o Grido - A Certain Ratio

https://youtu.be/RxPAxFn9PPo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Little known fact - lead "singer' on this tune is former Clarets Mad poster Fox40

Did the same band really also do Shack Up?!

[Corky]

I notice that Booker T Jones quite rightly gets a few mentions. Those people might want to listen to his Sound The Alarm LP which he brought out a few years ago, 2012 I think it was.

[longsidetrumpet]

Egyptian Reggae - Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Quirky all right and always worth a listen
