Who is John Mc Duffie?

Post by Steve Hitsman »

I've been bingeing Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton and in Season 3 you can't ignore Lynda Kay. I've been digging her stuff and John McDuffie made me cry.

He made you cry? John isn't that bad...

Just kidding... John is an exceptional musician. Great guitar & steel & an all around good guy as well as a long time friend.

Great steel playing for sure! And the singer...thank you for the alert. Lynda Kay is otherworldly. I just watched her video of “I Put A Spell On You”, which is totally freaked, like something from Blue Velvet or Rocky Horror.

If that is from Goliath, then I guess I’ll have to join Amazon Prime again because now I need more.

Pleasant, pleasant voice. Had not heard of her before but found a lot by Googling her name.

More than a little bit of Tammy Wynette's sound and style in her voice. Sounds good to me. :)

Great pal and talented player in Los Angeles, that's John McDuffie, or Groover as he's nicknamed.

"Groover" is John's actual middle name. John is a talented multi instrumentalist, as well as recording engineer, arranger, amp repair, as well as golfer and gardener! We live close to each other and frequently lunch and commiserate. A great friend and occasional band mate.

Thanks for the corrections, Doug and Peter, I never knew that was his real middle name. Makes him even groovier in my eyes!
