Nobody does love songs like the old blues men,

I'm partial to the "love" songs of Lightnin' Hopkins, Son House, John Lee Hooker, Skip James, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Howlin Wolf. ....among others.

Too bad they're all gone now. .....although Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and James Cotton are still with us.

You left out one of my favorite guitar players of all time, Elmore James.

Thank God for CDs. Nothing can replace these giants live when they could be at their most creative, but the reflection on the CD is better than nothing.
