BOB DURKEE. THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE LEGEND.

Bob recorded tons of the material talked about on this site, and played guitar on a fair amount of it, too. Here's a running list of all the Bob credits on the site so far, in many cases rendered faithfully here just as the liner notes present them; for fun. Engineering, mixing, sequencing...
