Guitarist on Bye Bye Blackbird?

[Stephen Calder]

Anyone know who plays lead guitar on Joe Cocker's version of Bye Bye
Blackbird?

Has anyone heard this? Man what a solo, wonderful playing, I haven't
tried to analyse it but it sounds great.

Hi Stephen,

The guitar is played by Jimmy Page and this very version of the song remains
one my favourites.
It appeared on Joe Cocker's first album.

Thanks!

That's the arrangement that has a real soulful Ray Charles sound, right?

[Dick Kruithof]

Yep, that's the one.
Guitars by Toni Visconti and Jimmy Page (solo).
The other song from the album on which Jimmy Page does the guitar is: '"With
a little help from my friends", the beatlesong cover that brought Joe Cocker
world fame.

Great stuff, both versions of those songs are classics.
