He is a vey special player he reminds me by many aspects Chris Whotley, an indepedent bluesman with hi own voice, style and language. They were vey special mens peace to their souls !
That's true. Also for some reason he reminds me of John Campbell(R.I.P.)..must be the lonely sound of his slide. Rainer had that special Blind Willie Johnson sound. I recall this performance on Jools Holland.

Rainer must've been influenced by John Martyn also. They both have that eerie, haunting sound. Terrible shame this guys is not around anymore.
