I've said it a zillion times and I'll say it again: I don't really get the Delta blues/rock connection. The English "blues" rockers--and even American electric blues--simply does not have the rural Southern roots sound of acoustic country blues. The chords may be theoretically the same, but the sound is totally different.
BB King, feh! Charlie Patton is The Man!
I think these rankings of guitar players is absurd - but I love the playing of Dave Davies - if there ever was an under recognized player, it’s Dave.
Esteban!!!
