Jim McCarty - Legendary Blues Rock Guitarist Talks About Mitch Ryder, Ted Nugent, Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix, Cactus, Mystery Train And More!

May 23

Episode Notes

“The Mighty Jim McCarty”, as his friend Ted Nugent calls him, is one of the great legendary blues rock guitarists of the rock era. He hit the top of the charts as a teenager playing with Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels on “Devil With The Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly”. He’s gone on to play with a Who’s Who including Buddy Miles, Cactus (with Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge fame), Mystery Train and others. He recorded with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Seger. We talk about his life in rock and roll, and we do a Songfest.

My featured song in this episode is “The One I’m Not Supposed To See” from the album East Side Sessions by my band Project Grand Slam. Spotify link HERE.
