Hi EyeMPambo
Well, there's no reason why he wouldn't like those artists. However, I believe that he was influenced by Paul Butterfield and Rod Piazza once told me that Kim told him that Rod was "the reason he'd strapped on his guns", I quote.
He obviously loves the music of Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter and Junior Parker - don't we all?!
I saw him play twice between 1979-81 and he was using just one amp which had no name on it. I never heard one sound better though!

Yes it's Austin City Limits (filmed on the campus of UT Austin).
Little known fact: Kim Wilson's favorite harmonica players were Charlie McCoy, and Toots Theielmans (unless he was lying when he told me so). He also liked Larry Adler. He was a harmonica scholar. It was above George Smith who gave him a crash course in showmanship, while living in Goleta, California.
Anyone who lived in Austin during that time was very fortunate. There has never been and will never be anything like it again.

KIm Wilson in that era (1977-1980) used a pair of old Fender Bassmen amps, hooked up and set on opposite sides of the stage. He used Hohner Marine Bands exclusively and wouldn't be caught dead with Golden Melodies.
Some rergard Kim Wilson as a fine harmonica player, the heir to the Throne left vacant by the untimely demise of Little Walter Jacobs.
