Damn, Chili... I like your black and tan markings. Who's the goofy guy next to you?
 
Someone said blues? Hell yes!
First some great British gentlemen:


A raunchy American:


An American king:


The guy who inspired everyone:


Oh, there is just too much to chose from...
 
My contribution. You may have seen it (a classic)... the whole thing.


I recorded a documentary on SRV. Albert King had a big influence on him. Out of reverence, Stevie just holds back while King plays.
 
Chubbles, I was doing some trim carpentry at a house several years ago. The guy doing the painting had a stereo playing some blues music. It was Albert King. My ears told me, Stevie was Albert so to speak,in a younger player. His chops definitely had Albert's signature all over them.
 
You're right. They were both Texas Blues, both around the Austin area. A strong, strong influence to say the least. I found SRV not long before he died. Listening to Albert King helps ease the pain. I wonder if they're jamming in heaven.
