IAWK. The rhythmic feel is incredible, driving the song without being intrusive. And
the turnarounds are really understated, a voice just above a whisper that holds your
ear for the next chorus. Last year Bravo ran a series on American Popular Song, and
one episode focused on '70's singer/songwriters, which featured JM playing
"California" with her dulcimer, and the rhythmic drive was so incredible. And WOHAM
has so many elements I consider crucial to great rhythmic playing (think, rhythm with
the occasional fill) while always compliamenting the song and bringing it forward.
Considering great rhythm players, (Keith Richards, Paul Kantner, David Crosby, Steve
Cropper, Joan Armatrading, Ernie Isley), Mitchell always stands with those great
players. (And, contrary to Great-Lead-Guitar Syndrome, rhythm is what it's all about.)
Denny, who's not attacking lead guitarists.
