Guitarists: |
Robert Johnson |
Without Robert
Johnson there wouldn't be Rock 'n' roll. Not my words - just ask
Eric Clapton & Keith Richards. |
|
|
Blind Willie Johnson |
Ry Cooder says
that Blind Willie was the greatest slide guitarist that ever
lived. 'Nuff said! |
|
|
Alvin Youngblood Hart
|
AYH is a
contemporary black bluesman who captures the spirit of the old
guys. Plays both acoustic & electric. |
|
|
Sam Mitchell |
Mitchell died in
2008 of a blood disorder. An Englishman whose slide playing I
learnt much from, and whose few recordings I still find
inspirational. |
|
|
Tampa Red |
Red was the first
popular blues artist to perfect single note slide playing.
|
|
|
Norman Blake |
He's the man! As a
solo acoustic flatpicking guitarist there's simply none better.
Not a bad songwriter also! |
|
Songwriters: |
Steve Earle |
I love Steve's
song writing and his earthy vocals. He also incorporates a great
mix of roots & modern sounds into his music. |
|
|
John Hiatt |
John is just a
great songwriter. It's been said that he could sing the phone
book and make it sound good. |
|
|
Greg Brown |
Probably one of
the best "unknown" songwriters around today. Greg has been at it
for 30 years and has a huge catalog of thoughtful songs. |
|
|
Kevin Welch |
Best known for his
work with Kane/Welch/Kaplan. I did a support for them once,
great guys. |
