gonna go back into the vault tonight..... not too deep though. and ill try to steer clear of stax and chess records and those usual suspects for this sort of thing.
jimmy mcgriff. funk. hammond b3. good shit.
bukka white. one man wrecking machine. played the national like this, but also slapped pretty well too, see 'aberdeen mississippi blues'. straight up beast. good shit.
baby face willette. made just a few records on blue note, then died. so emotive. good shit.
mississippi fred. the first generation of the north mississippi guys and maybe the most captivating, the second gen being rl burnside and junior kimbrough. who ive already expounded enough upon, i think. wish my right index finger worked like that. good shit.
eric dolpy. died young and weirdly, read his bio. mostly known as a sideman for coltrane, mingus, coleman, hamilton, nelson, et al, but as a band leader he was actually pretty big and influential for jimi hendrix, and you can hear it. good shit.
all i got
