I wasn't so much holding out Clapton as the pinnacle of blues brilliance, so much as just providing counterpoint to PSA's infliction of Scott Stapp and Creed on you.<BR/><BR/>And, really, pretty much <I>anyone</I> would have done fine as counterpoint, if you catch my drift.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406057201126015750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-70546010534725564002008-03-28T11:31:00.000-04:002008-03-28T11:31:00.000-04:00Amazing what Hound Dog Taylor could do with his si...Amazing what Hound Dog Taylor could do with his <A HREF="http://www.ndsu.edu/instruct/mcclean/plsc431/mendel/htaylor2.gif" REL="nofollow">six fingers</A>.<BR/><BR/>For those who agree with psa (as I do) that Clapton's been a pretty weak bluesman since Cream (although unplugged, for all it's overplaying, was pretty good) check out <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp_IqMTHhoQ" REL="nofollow">Elmore James</A>, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LNt5J0Cesc" REL="nofollow">Howlin ' Wolf</A>, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGDZgvB-oY0" REL="nofollow">Albert King</A>, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-q6_5i-TQw" REL="nofollow">Alberta Hunter</A>, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSzfw8FE-o" REL="nofollow">Nina Simone</A> (although jazzy), <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Iv3RgEscc" REL="nofollow">Ledbelly</A> , <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYYg-cTXIBc" REL="nofollow">R.L.
