If you are new to my drops, it's simple - we explore together with many projects you would take a lot of time & energy to find.
This particular series is all about the greatest guitarists who are presently with us or were once with us.

Eddie Fisher was born in Little Rock, AR. He made his way in the world by working with another legendary guitarist: Albert King. This kinda interested me because his music is a bit different.

His first album Is what I would call traditional, following in the spirit of Wes Montgomery & Grant Green. It's straight forward. 1 side is all Fisher originals & the other is standards.

If you know pop standards, he does a really nice version of Shadow of your smile. It's solid entry

Now the second lp is where everything changes. That's where things get muddy & more distorted with wah pedal. this is also when guitar afficiandos started taking notice that he wasn't just going to fit within the lines. Second lp reminds mea little bit David Axelrod, Meters, Funkadelic. It's kinda psychedelic, this is the first track off this one.
That isn't to say that he doesn't. have that spirit of Wes & Grant on here. But's it's a different band and a different project. I like it a lot.
This is the first track from it "Jeremiah Pucket"

The third lp continues you with Fisher being in a jazz funk, more tighter with the rhythms. With influences like Sly Stone & this time with horns and moogs, clavinet and sparse vocals here & there. I would say more R&B Soul . Again, he had a different vision. Really nice project, imo.

the clavinet player is so locked in with drummer, bassist & Eddie

or a banger like this

There are other lp's to discover but I will let you discover them.

suggested if you like

Wes Montgomery
Grant Green
Pete Cosey
George Benson
jimi
Eddie Hazel
Kool & the gang
Funkadelic
The Meters
Sly & the family Stone
Ohio Players

in this drop you get 6 solo lp's and collection of non album tracks for a running time slightly over 4 hours. He traverses such terrain as electro I wanted to cover this artist in depth in case people wanted to hear the journey of this musician to the end. Out of the 6, there are 4 are unavailable. It's a good haul for someone who wants to get more into guitar or continue collecting guitar based projects.

Eddie Fisher discography as a leader:

1969-Eddie Fisher Quintet - Third cup
1970-Eddie F & the next 100 years
1976-Fisher
1977-Hot Lunch
1985- The Promise
2001 - 42nd street

The next lp is sort of an lp,I guess. they just combined most of Fisher 3rd lp and added 4 new tracks. I wouldn't really count it as a album. an EP with previously issued material.

He would release 2 other lp's in between his club performances & studio sessions for others. He passed away from cancer in 2007. I guess my closing is, it's just as important to remember those that left us with beautiful work moreso than to brag about a chart number or sales units.

This concludes our 4th drop this weekend. I said I would go for 5 and that's what you are getting. the next one is completely dedicated to Soul Sundays. Probably 11 or so. Let me know if you with this one though. Such a talented musician & composer merging jazz-funk-soul-r&B-psych-rock-blues.

We in here!!

@op You on a crazy run

the rhythm sounds like adaptation of Maze’s Joy & pain. This is from his mid 80’s electro project

😎

Damn it's saying the vid is unavailable. What's the song called?

And when I type in the search on Youtube, it always points to me to a 50s white singer also named Eddie Fisher

youtu.be/Ygxj0OA9CFc?si=j_7FdEymf5RqEg-i

that is a problem with this artist name. That other Eddie guy owned the 50's and 60's., Not just in tv but music.
so many damn entries

Kinda similar with the Richard Marks situation too

it is crazy to think that this man stayed with Eddie Fisher

imagine anothet jimi hendrix having an exact name and he’s a superstar on pop radio airwaves and tv airwaves singing oh my papa

that energy song goes super hard with that mantra wah wah and slide octave comp chords

😎

don’t sleep, fam

this s*** is outta here, you can hear that reel to reel spinning

if you are new to my threads and wish to be notified or i have left your name off for some reason , type the @ - i will know

this s*** bangs on speakers

those moogs moog’n with that slap bass he like bootsy larry, prince stevie pimping the groove - it’s such a fun single. And one of many songs you will enjoy off this series that pays respect to the greatest guitarists around the globe 😎

alright drop fam.

let me know what you think

New drop coming soon 😎

always enjoyed this eddie hazel solo release. bizarre, lofi and warm like hypnagogic pop before it was even a thing. like an even more blown out sly doin s*** solo. imagine the there's a riot goin on tracks as the demos they started out as, recorded alone with sly doin all the parts

@op add me to your list. I always look forward to your posts.

i got you tonight, playa 😎

Just listened to The Promise. That was such an excellent project @op

Crazy to think this, but he really reminds me of DJ Quik. Almost as if he's a spiritual predecessor to him in energy, style, and flavor

Colors

@NumeroOcho another 💣 🔥

so talented and a great discovery 😎
