i know!!!!! and isn't he so great!!! i love him. he's my hero. and he's
definately blown off the blues. keeps touches in his songs, but he's moved
on. in fact, it's like he did unplugged and moved on almost at the same
time. but his one cd..from the cradle...you have to admit, that's pretty
hard core blues in the last ten years.
i like stevie's version of little wing. and i like to watch him. he's like
a spiritual pass through agent for some guitar god. like he transcends time
and place. but if i listen too long to him, i get a headache.
here's two i love. buddy guy acoustic with jr. wells....'hey jr...hey
jr...listen to this...boo doomp..weirrr boo doomp.
and if you like the electic blues, you have to like robert cray. i saw him
open for steve winwood in the late 80's in cleveland. it was a very white
crowd and i was one of the only ones there who could sing to his songs.
