Love him. I'll take him over Robert Johnson anyday. Recently read a great story about how when he was discovered by a musicologist who was looking for great blues musicians in the south, the guy brought him to NYC (where he had a good bit of success). A non-profit group was so taken with him that they told him they'd pay for a guitar of his choice. His advisor/discoverer took him to a store and encouraged him to spring for a Martin, but John opted instead for a sunburst Guild F-30 - much less expensive - because, so he said, "I always wanted a guitar that was two colors at the same time." The guitar eventually made its way through a series of owners but today it's owned by Daryl Hall, of Hall & Oates fame.

It is slightly counter-intuitive to play. The melody that is being picked out here is not hard, that much is true, but the exact timing of the right hand pattern is a handful.

For how much shit I get for being from Mississippi as I travel the country. I sure am proud of the soul and culture that comes out of that place

Being from East Texas and whose ancestors came here from Mississippi in the early 1840s and which is still Southern in tradition, I can relate. It’s known derisively by some Texans in other areas of the State, mostly smug, self superior members of the media and academia as “The Pine Curtain”. Seems we are to be bound forever to carry the cross of racial relations for the rest of the nation who refuse to see their own hypocrisy. I refuse to, that’s an individual responsibility on both sides and doesn’t matter where one is from. Author William Faulkner said it best about being a native Mississippian and the South: “ It’s my Country, my native land and I love it, You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”

Overwhelmingly talented but with a simple humility.

one of the greats, used to listen to him a lot when I first 'discovered' the Blues, and many of the other great Bluesmen of his era. Whatever you do, don't forget the Blues, one of the greatest contributions to music ever made. It is all about the spirit and we all have to walk that lonesome valley for ourselves, but we still walk all together.
