I must admit that I've acquired a taste for old Mississippi Delta Blues music in general, and Robert Johnson in particular, I love the simplicity of the music and hearing real riffs on a accoustic guitar:

Anybody with an adjective or verb for their first name is gold IMO. Ex- Blind Lemon Jefferson, Howlin' Wolf, etc. al. All good, raw stuff. No links, but anyplace that sells used cd's/LP's is a good place to start if you're looking to expand your 'classical' blues horizons.:up: As for RJ, "Hell Hound on My Trail" is one of my personal favorites, as I always seem to have one myself. :devil:

Love the Blues, Delta, Chicago... :up:
Have you seen Martin Scorsese's "The Blues" documentary?
I haven't yet, but plan on it soon. I've heard very good things, and can't wait to see such a in depth look at its history. -
