Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker are 900 million miles away from the dreck that SRV made. And pretty much all modern blues, for that matter. It's just so contrived and crappy. Pride and Joy makes me want to punch grandmothers. When John Lee Hooker sang, you can tell that the fucker lived HARD; he was fucking real.
SRV has oodles and oodles of talent. I'm convinced even though he's still dead, he could still probably play better than me. However, I'm not a huge fan of his music. His Hendrix covers are amazing, but well, I'd rather listen to Hendrix
And don't hate the blues, hate the terrible pop driven blues that too often gets played on Strats. jus sayin'

I'm with you on this. I could listen to "Mississippi" John Hurt all day. It's the "Texas Blues" bullshit that makes me want to sodomize my ears with an icepick.

if she wasn't so hot, I would have beat her
Wait till she gets old and fat and then knock the croup out of her.

What's really weird to me is five days ago typing "freekish blues" into google would pull up all the controversy threads on HC and talkbass and whatnot, now it just pulls up a page of demos and their website. These guys apparently have enough cash to up their search ranking for pages they prefer.
