Just listened to Lady Of The Lake again; thanks!

Yessir... that right there is exactly how that goes. 

Strange coincidences... I just got this Fretboard Journal article link yesterday evening from our old buddy who used to post here as ed_zeppelin:

At risk of overstating fandom... I can't get enough of this new Hawktail project, "Formations". Since I pre-ordered a hard copy (actually a few copies, for gifts) of the CD, I got a free download, and now I can't get anything done in my shop! It's simply impossible to concentrate on anything else with this music playing through a set of decent cans. 

I think I've already posted everything from the album that's publicly viewable at one time or another, but here they are, rippin' a classic John Hartford tune, live:

Much too close to 50 years ago to bear thinking about, I was sitting in a friend's dorm room being amazed by my first dose of LSD, and someone was kind enough to put Aereo-Plain on the stereo (back when college kids had actual stereos....); it's been on my 10-Desert-Island-Albums list ever since.   That is a very nice version of "Steamboat Whistle Blues".

But, of course, it sent me running for the original (for those few who may be unaware, Aereo-Plain was credited to John Hartford, but - much like the P.E.R.R.O. sessions became a David Crosby album - was actually a project of the Dobrolic Plectral Society; Hartford on banjo, Norman Blake on guitar, Tut Taylor on Dobro, Vassar Clements on fiddle, and Randy Scruggs on bass; of course there was some instrument switching going on, but that's who played what the most):ereo-plane was a

Love the tone Chris Wood gets from his Hofner, great bass player too!

Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham - Walkin'

One of my favorite Winehouse songs and a bass line that just speaks to me personally.

You know, I don't I'd ever heard anything of hers except "I'm No Good" and "Rehab"; I liked them, but wasn't moved to search out more. Thanks for the awakening, Toby; the young lady had something worth listening to (and yeah - killer bass line!)

Glad you enjoyed it, Peter! She was incredibly talented.

I know the feeling, I get it once or twice twice a week in this thread. I find things I would have never listened to otherwise that send me off on a cool little musical exploration.

The Hancock, Carter, and Cobham was nice; thanks!

She was so gifted. And yes, that bassline is SLINKY. I wonder who played it?
