A very stormy Monday!

Also he did the original of "Ain't no Love" I believe.

Sad Day. RIP.

I was surprised to hear a report about him on R4 news at 6pm - I wouldn't have thought he had that sort of profile. Perhaps the news editor is a blues fan?

Damn, I was listening to this just this morning

I'm afraid to say I only discovered him when I shazamed a track from the film 'The Lincoln Lawyer' but I've listened to him a lot in the last 6 months. I wasn't aware he was so well known, so it's great to hear of other fans. Bit of a shame it's because of his death that I've found you all!

Any other fave tracks/ similar artists? I'm also listening to Artie 'Blues Boy' White and 'Guitar Shorty'

Love playing along with these cats - HJ that was one if the first tracks from 'dreamer' that I played to!

Cheers

Ped, I'd start with these and work back: His California Album, Dreamer, Reflections In Blue.and Members Only.
