You could go back and back and back. I'm convinced that we all play guitar because some dude in prehistoric africa or the middle east figured out that plucking a string makes a cool noise.

E.C. is the one who made me pull the trigger on actually learning how to play guitar. I saw him on a re-run of Saturday Night live from the 90's about 3 years ago and I was just plain out blown away. I think he did milk cow blues as one of his songs.

From the Cradle made my head explode. I had never really listened and disected blues like that before.

All that being said, BB, Albert and Freddie King, SRV and E.C. are my guys.

Check out a guy named Albert Cummings on iTunes. Working man blues is a great tune.

Hi Jeff.

I feel I must take exception with you here. While SRV is a outstanding guitarist and my choice as well for my pick as my favorite.

Couldn't stand the weather was by far his best effort. Texas floor was done in a rush and made to be a demo for the record company.
It is a very good CD for sure, and some may say that a true blues CD should be done like a live stage show as Texas flood was recorded.

There were some who said Texas flood was a fluke, and he was just playing blue standards, when they released CSTW it shut them all up.

And his version of Voo Doo child set in cement that he was a gifted player, and a force to be reconned with.
