[lesofprimus]

Heres a listing of what I think are excellent candidates for Worlds Greatest Bluesman.... I can always alter the poll, so cast ur vote or make a suggestion...

I went with BB King. The man is amazing. I got to see him with Eric Clapton once, was really great!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

BB King for me - Saw him at the Montreal Jazz and Blues festival in 1986.

 

[Thorlifter]

That's a long list.....and actually I dont know Slim Harpo from Harpo Marx. But it's BB for me.

I would've gone for BB until I heard Mississippi Fred... can't get better than that!

John Lee right behind.. ahoww, how, how!!

Geez...


Buddy guy has an incredible tone
BB King lucille what a guitar

Robert Cray on cross roads blew me away.

Over all Rober Johnson for me, some seriously sinister guitaring going on there.

This is no contest. Robert Johnson. This is the man from which the legend of selling your soul to the devil to sing the blues and play guitar came from. Buy his deluxe set, sit back with a whiskey, and listen to some real blues.

EVERYBODY emulated him. EVERYBODY.

Robert Johnson for me as well, the Godfather of the Blues...

 

[Njaco]

I stand corrected. Robert Johnson did set the standard. McDowell is an awful close second.
