One of the coolest electric blues players ever, such a raw tone.

Very sad. So overwhelmingly influential.

listening to the new "complete chess masters" box set on spotify. so great. anybody pick it up in real life? i have the older chess box set. don't know if the new one is worth shelling out for -- lots of overlap.
