MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Nov 3, 2024 #293

*A generation-spanning guitar hero, this artist wasn't out of grade school when some of his best-known collaborators were at the peak of their fame, but he has earned a powerful reputation for his fiery guitar work steeped in blues and Southern rock traditions.  In 1988, he joined a band that would absolutely fortify his Southern rock sway.  Name the artist...
 
*Back in the early stages of Eagles, this artist would often hang around with the band, but also spent a great deal of time writing songs.  But when he went off the radar, he all but disappeared.  24 years later the artist came out with an album showcasing his lifelong love of jazz and pop standards.  Name the artist...
 
*In the early 70's, this artist was just sitting at home in his cheap apartment, sitting at the table when he came up with a verse, chorus and lyrics.  A sort of trance feeling of paradise prompted him to pace his apartment, repeating the chorus and he thought...this is really cool!  The song became a huge hit on his eponymous-named 1970 album.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*In 1966, this most excellent songwriter and leader of his band began work on a new LP which was intended as the ultimate pop/progressive/psychedelic record.  Many of the vocal and instrumental tracks were recorded, but the project was abandoned in 1967 due to accumulated pressures.  It was accorded the status as the most legendary unreleased album of all time.  Many finally heard the songs on a bootlegged 1980 release.  Name the artist and the band.  Extra credit for the name of the album...
