badass uk blues rock
Sorry, I only heard him on MySpace. I can hear it in his playing, the fourth cut called Fuzz Six Six Six, that he's played the old acoustic Delta stuff a lot. I don't think he's using a slide, but that's the sound he's trying to get. He does understand where it's coming from. So much has been done, it's very difficult to come up with anything new.
I've been into blues for many years. The blues guitarist to hear is Snooks Eaglin, of New Orleans, born in 1936. This guy is incredible. I regret that I've never seen him - he has been blind since childhood and rarely plays outside of New Orleans. He did a pretty good live album in Japan about 10 years ago. Nobody can top him - either electric or acoustic, he makes any song or style his own - he played as a session man on the best New Orleans' artists' sides since the 40's, as well as his own stuff. He's a living legend, an original that is far better than just about anybody, alive or dead. He's the best of the best. At over 70 years old, and blind, he's still working despite what happened to New Orleans with the hurricane.
I always like to listen to, and discuss, blues and jazz.
Cheers!
