My Wife Thinks You’re Dead, by Junior Brown. I very rarely post a “country and western” tune, but Junior Brown’s skills on the guitar he invented (with one neck a full steel guitar & one a Fender Telecaster) are amazing. If this post from a mid-nineties Conan show doesn’t convince you, go to YouTube and check out his cover of the kickass Hendrix classic Foxy Lady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRwzeXiPy2s&feature=plcp
