I am referring to Popa Chubby. I found him by accident while trolling YouTube for Blues videos. Since then, I have bought several of his CD's. Here is a unique view of the man from the French version of YouTube:

Its interesting that Gibson released a signature Popa Chubby Flying V. Its interesting because I have never seen him play anything other than Fender Strats and Teles through Fender Twin amps. I have never seen him with a Gibson of any kind. Go figure ...

Popa Chubby is played quite often on Sirius Blues.

I recommend his live album:

Big Man Big Guitar: Popa Chubby Live

On that CD, my favorite is "I Can't See the Light of Day", which has a sort of Little Wing feel. There is a lot of Jimi Hendrix in his style.
