Guitarist Ronnie Montrose celebrates his 63rd Birthday today. Montrose was one of my favorite artists of the seventies, not only for awesome songs like “Rock Candy,” “Bad Motor Scooter” and “Rock The Nation” by his own eponymous band, but for his guitar playing on one of the most enduring anthems of 1972, Edgar Winter’s “Free Ride” – which was a phenomenal hit and a just great song. Happy Birthday Ronnie!
63? I’m glad these guys keep staying older than me, if only by a smidgen!
“Montrose” is one of the greatest rock records of all time.
