Thanks Bob. I've checked out a bit of J.B. Hutto - a real contender to be sure. I'm not at all familiar with Homesick James, so I'll definately be digging out some of his stuff.

Well....theere's J.B. Hutto at the top of that list and Homesick James, right?

Thanks Frank. I've not come across Chicago Slim before and he doesn't feature in the Pengiun Guide to Blues Recordings (my bible), so there's an interesting bit of research ahead of me. I have heard some of JB Hutto's stuff but not Summertime, so I shall be tracking that one down.

Al, thanks for the heads up. I checked him out on we7.com and they have some of his earlier acoustic stuff which certainly gives you an idea of his credentials. Youtube has a great video of him playing on Maxwell Street in the mid 60's, I've added it to my page. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout !
