who is your favorite blues artist

[Music Head]

Mine has to be Michael Bloomfield, the greatest electric guitarist who ever bent a string. His tone, attack, control, fluidity and emotional content has not been suppassed. Unfortunately very little video exists of him, but check out "drinking wine/electric flag" or stop with Al Kooper on youtube. Then realise, he took the blues into the same areas that Miles and Coltrane did. I saw him 3 times with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band on their tour of UK in fall of 66, an incredibly aggressive industrial blues band. I also saw him twice in San Francisco in the late 60's he took your emotions to a spiritual place if you were prepared to go along with him.
