In the new bio of Big Bill he credits Blind Blake and BlindLemon for learning his clean, smooth style. He was also proficient on his first instrument, the fiddle. Bill is now one of the lesser known blues giants.
Big Bill really is the best. The physical part of his unmatched guitar work has to do with the unique attack of his right hand. The only other country blues man I have heard that seems to me to be in the same league is Blind Blake (at least on the guitar). Blake has even more moves on the instrument with almost the same level of tone clarity and rhythm.
There is another...This one sounds a lot like Blind Lemon Jefferson's Piedmont style slowed down a bit,& with a bit deeper voice. Listen to blind lemon's black snake moan,& you can here where this comes from.
I've been playin the blues since i was 7 years old big bill & barbaque bob were the biggest influence . im 47 now and that sound still sends me i love it(TEDDY LEE COOKER) salt spring island canada
Just where did this guy ever master the guitar? A place other then earth thats where!
Has anyone out there ever heard of anyone that can play like this, so easy, so relaxed and every note is crystal clear, and both the instruament and voice propell each other. This must be a gift from God!

Big Bill broonzy was an original and a truly influencial figure. Check the tribute album recorded by Muddy Waters in 1958.

They all good son, not just ol' Robert... but he's one of the best out there.
I'd say my top three are ol Bob, Son House and Charley Patton, maybe Blind Lemon or Blind Willie Johnson too.
