Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of the finest guitarists ever. He's the only guy I've ever heard that could copy the style of Hendrix with any amount of accuracy. He died way before his time! Stevie Ray, you are missed...
You got to see him in the early years, back when his record company (Chess, I think) held him back from fear his guitar style would turn folks off. Funny, that. I have a CD in my collect, called "Buddy Guy, the Complete Chess Sessions," which I often recommend to serious Blues fans as a piece of bizarre history. I saw him at the Victoria Jazz Festival about 20 years ago, when he was promoting Sweet Tea...amazing showman.
AMAZING!!! The night I saw him, he was fantastic. The Club 47 was a small venue, just a bar. He had AC Reed and Bobby Fields playing horns... they walked out over the tables and played for the people in line outside.
Try going back to Hendrix's roots: Buddy Guy
I saw Buddy at the Club 47 in Cambridge in 68. I was talking about copying Hendrix's style. I had a bunch of old Curtis Knight albums
