Squidbilly Fans

[rickfan60]

The voice of Squidbilly Early Cuyler (Unknown Hinson) has a self confessed passion for fine guitars. Apparently his collection includes a Rickenbacker or two. Here he is performing Little Wing with his band. The video is pretty poor but he is apparently playing a 600 series model.

Youtube has several videos of Unknown Hinson playing his JetGlo 620; he sure puts it through its paces.

Cool, Hendrix on a Rick!

Yeah, he is an excellent guitarist and a bit of an odd bird. He fancies himself a hillbilly vampire - blacked out teeth and glue-on side burns complete the look. It is said he never breaks character while performing. His real name is (Stewart) Daniel Baker.

Here is one of the aforementioned You Tube vids..



And for those who think Ricks are only good for rhythm playing. Fasten your safety belts and hold on tight.

I LOVE 'Squidbillies'! To know he's a Ric devotee makes it even better.

Now there's a guitar player and a singer...................He is very very good and he is the essence of cool. His bass player and drummer are equal in talent as well.

Beats the hell out of Denny Pizzin!!!

Yeah, ain't he something? It is nice when great talent and a sense of humor are combined.

BTW If anyone is interested, his show dates are posted on his website.
