Saw him yesterday in Zagreb, Croatia. I came to the place he was playing at totally at random, without knowing that so much awesomeness is about to happen. guy knows his stuff.
Funny, I saw him playing in the street in Frankfurt with Professor Washboard also. 'Probably around the same time. The professor had this really weird and totally unique homemade electronic percussion rig. I was so absolutely blown away by them, I ended up just hanging out and listening to them all day, missing the usual tourist sights in the process. That's OK, it was the high point of my whole trip! I also bought a Blackjack CD and play it regularly to this day. Count me as a big fan!
Hugh Pool's dad is my dad's godfather, so I've known him my whole life. He is so chill, and just sits down and jams. I've gotten a few guitar and harmonica lessons from him, it's been incredible. The thing that's great about him, is that he's the real deal, he's not some guy who thinks he knows what the blues is about, he really freakin does. It's fantastic to see all the support on here.
I think HP is one of the great blues players of our time. Would love to see more solo video postings - "I Can't Be Satisfied," "Goin' to Dallas," "Statesboro Blues" if anyone's got them.
Hugh Pool, great guy awesome player.
