READY SPEDDING GO
I got several more albums by Chris Spedding over the years and was never disappointed, though none ever topped Hurt. A compilation album called Ready Spedding Go that I cleaned up from the Katrina mud not long ago ends with a cut that I think is called “Guitar Jamboree”, imagining a gathering of a dozen or more of the great rock guitarists – and Spedding did a brief impression of all of their playing styles to end the song: Quite a tour de force. That compilation album also includes his only hit song, even in England, “Motor Bikin’” (from about the same time period as Hurt).
