I can especially commend to you Batdorf and Rodney, Lazarus, Arrogance, and Aztec Two Step.  What we have here in this post is four pretty decent live YouTube clips from Aztec Two Step (aka Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman) performing songs found on their absolutely classic first Aztec Two Step album which is great from start to finish, and recently re-released and remastered.  If you liked Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, Kenny Loggins early solo folk work, America, CSN, Poco and the like, you would love some of these fabulous old groups.  I&#8217;m amazed that some of them can still perform at a pretty high level. Enjoy.
