MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW May 17, 2026 #360

*The seeds for a most unique collaboration were sown as early as the decade of the 60's.  But still, no one expected that blue-eyed pop could effortlessly meet and embrace the blues riffs of Memphis, something that came together with an excellent 2008 album.  Sadly it will never receive a follow-up from the 2 artists that made the first one happen.  Name the two collaborating artists...
 
*Born in 1967, this artist could be considered both South African and American who released a debut album in 1994.  The album established him with a unique method of composing and furthering that with a distinct sound.  The hit we'll enjoy from that album features a distinct violin riff as well as a few mini solos.  Name the band, the frontman and extra credit for the name of the song, a strong radio hit and concert favorite...
 
*This legendary and long-standing band has lived several lives, some wild, some mild.  In the late 60's, early 70's, they were considered cutting edge and their lead guitarist was favorably compared to Jimi Hendrix, by Jimi himself.  By 1973, they fell into the rhythm of the advancements being made in the realm of Jazz/rock fusion.  The following year...a double album showed their veritility.  Name the band...
 
*It has been thought that every piece of this American artist's music has always been about finding one's place in the world.  Many of his song characters seemingly have their backs against the wall, looking for some way to fight against their oppressors to pave the way for something better on the horizon.  Name the artist, who sadly...is no longer with us...
