Now I enjoyed Vol 1 immensely but it is ASTONISHING how many tracks Mickey played on in its complete history how you can not save this is beyond me!
MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 2
Here is great collection of Mickey Baker's great work. (He passed away November 27, 2012.) If you asked me, and I know you didn't, but if you did, I'd say Mickey "Guitar" Baker is the greatest guitarist in rock'n'roll history. Bob Quine agreed with me. (The Hound Blog)
Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found. (Allmusic)

Mickey Baker was on more sessions in NY than most people realise. Everett Barksdale, also a NY session guitarist, is on the Danelectro 6-string bass here, which is higher than a regular bass, and used often by players after its introduction in '56. Abie Baker is on upright bass, and Sticks Evans is on drums.

The Yardbirds - Over, Under, Sideways, Down (A Whole Scene Going On, 08/06/1966) | TWILIGHT ZONE
Now I bought this classic as a single when it came out, thereby hangs a tale . . .
I may have mentioned this before because it makes me smile but being a frequently sickly child often, I was once ill in bed one day as a surly youth barely thirteen and had been waiting for a single to come out and duly begged and sent my Mum to go to the local record story in the city to ask for “OVER, UNDER, SIDEWAYS , DOWN - by THE YARDBIRDS! She thought this embarrassingly funny and it became part of the family folklore a story she never let me forget and with a frequent smile upon her beautiful face . . .she never forgot the name of that single!
