Rhythm Section Royalty: Celebrating Iconic Duos in Music

Welcome to Three Guys, One Music! Join Jamey, Mike, and Grant as they dive into the heartbeats of the band - the rhythm sections. This week, the trio discusses their favorite rhythm sections, sharing personal insights and musical anecdotes that highlight the unique chemistry between drummers and bassists.

Jamey kicks things off with a correction from the previous episode and a light-hearted apology about his pre-podcast hygiene. The conversation then shifts to what the guys have been listening to lately, from Black Sabbath's "Born Again" to Journey's "La Raza Del Sol," and even some Fleet Foxes and B-Hoover.

As the main topic unfolds, each host brings their top rhythm sections to the table. Jamie starts with Billy Cobham and Rick Laird from Mahavishnu Orchestra, while Mike highlights the legendary Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. Grant surprises with the inclusion of Chad Smith and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The discussion gets deeper as Jamey

mentions the often-overlooked brilliance of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and Mike praises the seamless groove of Al Jackson Jr., Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper from Booker T. & the MG's. Grant rounds out his picks with a nod to Alex and Eddie Van Halen's undeniable synergy.

Throughout the episode, the guys explore the nuances of rhythm sections in different genres, from jazz with Tony Williams and Ron Carter to the experimental sounds of L 10 11. They also touch on the classic rock vibes of Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams, and Malcolm Young from AC/DC.
