Feel Like Makin' Love ~ Bad Company ------   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info This second volume in the WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS series (two discs, 37 tracks) certainly has some guitar classics like the Allman Brothers Band's elegant "Statesboro Blues," Dire Straits' immortal guitar song about a horn band, "Sultans of Swing," and Lynyrd Skynyrd's you-gotta-love-it epic "Free Bird," but it also has songs like Steve Earle's "Guitar Town" that have less to do with guitars than they do attitude, or Sam & Dave's "Soul Man," which is really all about greasy, horn-drive southern soul, or the Impressions' "People Get Ready," which is a gospel pop gem but wouldn't be on anyone's list of guitar jams, and the end result here wanders just a bit thematically. It's a budget set, though, so you get a lot of good tracks for not much, whatever the theme.
