Les Dudek: Les Dudek
John Tobler, ZigZag, September 1976
FOR THE uninitiated, Les Dudek has been connected in various ways with the Allman Brothers (he was one of the guitarists on 'Ramblin' Man'), Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs, which in theory ought to make him well worth our attention. In practice, he is a very fine guitarist indeed, ranking (and I speak here as a person whose favourite instrument by the width of the world is the guitar) with the very best around.
