Another one that I found there last night that I rather am liking is the Fabulous Thunderbirds "Painted On", which came out in '05. 3/4 of it is pretty good, and they still have their unique sound. Worth a listen...

Do you know if Jimmy Vaughn is still the guitarist for the band?
His solo work is pretty funky and has a gospel like feel to it.
Should check it out if you find any..

Jimmy Vaughn left them some time ago, I have one of his solos that is pretty decent.
He didn't have quite the chops that his brother did. (as if anyone did...!)

I downloaded an album a few minutes ago about 9am GMT, the ZIP worked although it took about 5 minutes instead of the usual 1-2 minutes, could only average 150kbps which is a little better than a few weeks ago, but not as good as the 300-400kbps I have had in the past this early in the morning.

So to sum up, everything seems to work ok although slower than a few weeks/months ago.

Thanks for the update, Chris
