Seated among a Who’s Who of country greats that includes Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson and Ray Stevens, Glen Campbell steps out for a typically flashy solo on his classic “Gentle on My Mind”.
Tell me again, Rolling Stone, how Kurt Cobain is one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

Flaco Jiménez: “Por una Mujer Bonita” (1994)
On the heels of, and capitalizing on, successes with tex-mex supergroup Texas Tornados, Tejano squeezebox legend Jiménez stepped out for solo projects with high profile duet partners such as Dwight Yoakam, Stephen Stills, Linda Ronstadt and Raul Malo.
But this bouncy bit of border pop features Flaco himself on vocals.
