be remiss not to mention the great early bluesman-blind lemon jefferson-...one of the earliest and most popular recorded bluesmen of his time..and huge influence...especially the texans...lightnin hopkins was all about jefferson...johnny winter too
horrifying to think, a blind man, he died frozen & alone on the streets of chicago
easy rider blues

But...we are still talking about Blind Lemon. We are still enjoying his great music. In a way he'll never die.

Here's a set with him & the Nightcats from back in the VHS days.
Charlie could play and the band cooked.
RIP, Charlie. (There's an RIP thread in the Players section. I'll post this vid there too. Good stuff.)

Seems, they all leaving us...ok ok, not all.

All my favorites have already been posted... but I will post another Albert Collins, as there isn't enough of him in here...
And one who has not yet been mentioned....

Albert Collins went his own way---open F minor tuning and using only his fingers to pick some of the most biting blues lines anyone ever heard.
This song, "Snowed In" is my favorite example of how Albert used his guitar for sound effects in telling stories. If you've never heard this, it's worth checking out. And when he gets that frosty car cranked, look out!

Benoit is also a big "effects" guy (with the guitar; no pedals).... check out "Dirty Dishes" and "We Make A Good Gumbo"
