@rfw45 I have heard Keith R. say Lightning Hopkins is his personal favorite.
-
Ya'll listed good, because the preacher from Bogmocracy has just schooled you!
Blues is in the heart and to each his own love for the greats!
-
man, too much discussion. sounds like an argument about religion by the holier than thou. I'll just sit here and enjoy the blues.
-
Ha! Good discussion.
-
@rfw45 C'mon now - Robert Johnson was a musical genius. The Beethoven of blues. Johnson could strip you naked and then clothe you in blues on the half beat. Son House is great - but he's no Robert Johnson. And Bukka White? Please. Not in the same league, either one of them.

@AbsintheColour did you mean leadbelly? he's equal to robert johnson for me actually just didnt have room to talk about him! not even muddy has that tone, and his guitar playing is amazing
-
@JustinSaladino Yeah, Johnson is all that. I still favor Ledbetters voice the most personally

You Americans had for forgotten about the blues till English bands brought them back to you in the '60s. Even young Afro-Americans didn't listen to them any more preferring R&B and soul, they thought blues was old timers music.
English musos would be te first to admit they can't beat the originals, but remember when Richards and Clapton etc. started out they had no conception they'd end up rich & famous, big rock stars. They were just playing music they were passionate about.

Im sorry Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. Let us American's pick our own blues icons. Son House, Bukka White and others I could mention are just as or more relavent than your holy Robert Johnson. Comments?
