I agree with stewedandkeefed that Warren Zevon is one of the best.I would also like to add Memphis Slim and Geraint Watkins to the group.

Bassist extraordinaire and all around cool guy Nick Charles has passed away in Chicago on July 1.Recently played with Billy Branch and host to many jam sessions.Was encouraged by Howlin Wolf to move to Chicago from Mississippi back in the day.He played with many a bluesman over the years including Muddy Waters.Nick had a truly unique bass style and a friendly demeanor.We will miss him dearly.

All the talk about the changes the Stones have been thru. What about the changes the blues have gone thru these last 50 years?Certainly not the same form it was.The popularity of blues seems to go up and down as always but the blues has to absorb similar influences like the stones do.

The Stones have evolved into a totally unique sound.Totally original.Blues based at their core.How often you hear someone say that another band sounds like the Rolling Stones?
