Was looking over the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue Live in 1975 liner notes (amazing CD BTW) and noticed that one of the guitar players on that tour was Mick Ronson. I love Mick Ronson's stuff with Bowie and solo but had no idea he played with Dylan. This made me think about Rick Derringer playing on some of Steely Dan's LPs which is another odd match. Any other good examples of this out there?

Pat Boone doing "Song From The Siren" with Jerry Yester producing.
James Zitro on the Essra Mohawk LP on Reprise.
Kenny G blowing wind with Cold Bold & Together.
Marzette Watts engineering the Tony Troutman LP on T-Main.
Best socks in Rock?
Great balls of fire. I don't know whether to say I'd like to hear this or to shun away entirely. It gives me the heebee jeebees
(and my personal favorite):
the Ikettes on Frank Zappa's "Montana" (not credited on the album, but yeah.)
Dr Dre producing for Burt Bacharach (sp?)
and seeing that Nas ghostwrote Will Smith's - Miami
well, they WERE bandmates in the Mynah Birds, weren't they?
Monty Stark with Fleetwood Mac?
Adrian Milan with Gary Wilson?
Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons are backing vocalists
on some of this LP.
-Dres from the blackheep on vanessa william's "comfort zone" album
-tom morello from rage against the machine on the run dmc album
-maynard from tool on the first rage album(turns out tool guitarist and rage guitarist used to be in a band together)
-when slash was on some michael jackson record
-johnny cash on some u2 record
-dj premier on some limp bizkit record...WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE DOING ON that RECORD...soon to be followed by dj premier on a Christina Aguilerra record
-mix master mike on a tommy lee record
this beat is amazing
same axelrod that had a hand in half the songs on sesame street?
that doesn't seem that out of place at all, unless you think it was also out of place for him to guest on the deftones' third album as well.
- Sly Stone on a seventies album by REO Speedwagon
I think in both cases, the artists in question happened to be in the same studio at the same time, Michael/Sly happened to hear Joe/REO up the hallway, and were all like "hey, what's THAT?"
Bizarre.
-see pachamama's ebay sale link today, I think he missed this particular info nugget
but he has that LP for sale
more info, pleez! never heard about this one
So Thin Lizzy moonlight as Funky Junction on a Deep Purple tribute lp. What may be lesser known is that they also supplied 2 tracks as 'guests' on the Gladys Knight LP from the same time, and in fact your man motown67 reviewed it below on 2nd April:
Both LP's get sold in Lizzy auctions on ebay and can reach decent prices.
I have them but they are, IMHO, turds.
correct - except the FJ cuts were recorded especially for this album, and were in no way previous (or future) Thin Lizzy tracks. Funky rock really, a field that Lynott wouldn't perfect for another few years.
But the front of the sleeve implies that GK is backed by Funky Junction.
Advertising standards were piss poor back then.
Not that anyone knew who they were, it was a way of keeping the wolf from the door while the first Lizzy albums bombed.
