I thought I had heard of most of the great guitar players through the years but I swear I had never heard of Jim McCarty before and actually had to look up to see who he was.
I live less than a mile from the Token Lounge. I should go there sometime. I heard Ted Nugent talk about this Person & say what a good guitarist he is!
We played the Carat too back then, in ‘78, and the west side six, right around the corner…..Jim and the Rockets came in one weekend and just blew the doors off the place.
@@petedazer3381West Side Six was my hangout back then, Can't quite remember the band name of the one that seemed to be the house band in the mid seventies, but their lead guitar was exceptional ! Someone stole my Craig 8 track player out of my van there! What band were you in? Just remembered... Curtis Hyflash, I think was the band.
... so now that you've watched this clip, what do you think? I have others out there for you to enjoy. Try this one from 2014 th-cam.com/video/s9p1zTOXd9A/w-d-xo.html

I can totally see his influence on Ted. Excellent guitarist

Listen to the Cactus version of 3:03 "Long Tall Sally" ...screaming and moaning bad ass

... you should definately give it a try.
McCarty still at it, Awesome!
you bet, at 77 he is still a detroit legend.
@@bluzdudemi Big fan since the Rockets played the 24 Carat Club, or since The Detroit Wheels did Little Latin Lupe Lu! ✌️😎👍
@@bluzdudemi Know where he's playing next, or now?

Jim is the greatest guitarist of all time.
Come now....😂
You obviously haven’t heard of hendrix albert king or Stevie ray amazing
Lmao
Of course you doubters realize he's closing in on 80-years-old here? Doesn't seem he's lost much if anything!
Not true
Still keeping those great Cactus guitar solos alive!
👍❣️ Thanks
Wow great feel vibrato and note choice 👏
♥
His feel and power resemble that of Jimmy Page, to me. At least in a Blues sense.
Wouldn't Danny Gatton, Eric Johnson and Gary moore be in there?
I wonder how old that Les Paul is……..AT LEAST 45+ years
I wud buy the album
I've heard Ted Nugent talk about him many times saying how good he wazs.
