My top 3 faves...

1. Skip James
2. Bukka White
3. Hound Dog Taylor

Lots of fascinating life stories with these folks...

Apparently he cut the extra finger off his right hand in a drunken state one night. Just like Robert Johnson, God only knows what Taylor was struggling with. With the extra finger on his left hand still intact, he went on to become a remarkable slide guitarist. Just like Robert Johnson, he was able to utilize this gift he was born with to make incredible music...



Hound Dog was like a ray of sunshine cutting through the clouds.
