Sting "Little Wing"
Not a bad version. Pretty good guitar solo. Who's playing it?
Hiram Bullock
Thanks! Never hoid of 'im.
He was David Letterman's first guitarist (he was always barefoot). He also had a solo career in the fusion genre. He died a few years ago at the age of 52.
A tribute from his former bandleader:
“As I said on the show,” Mr. Shaffer said, “I think he was the greatest guitar player ever, with the exception perhaps of Jimi Hendrix. Nobody was ever better.”
I've collected a few versions of this truly great song, and the Sting version seems to have staked out a different archetypal turf than Jimi, or Derek and the Dominoes, which I feel is a very significant version. I have a beautiful version by the Corrs that seems more closely related to the Sting version than the others, for example. A real shame about Mr. Bullock.
