Episode Notes

Elliott Randall is one of the greatest guitarists of the Rock era. His solos on Steely Dan’s hit “Reelin’ In The Years” and Irene Cara’s “Fame” are iconic. Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, The Blues Brothers and Toto all asked him to join their bands. He’s been a first-call session musician including jingles. We discuss all of this plus a Special Segment on great guitar solos, and a Songfest!

My featured song in this episode is “Right Now” from my solo album “Miller Rocks”. Spotify link:
