I love guitar driven blues, so I am a fan of all three Kings, BB, Freddie, & Albert. I actually saw Freddie King in New Orleans around 1972 or '73 at City Park stadium. He was the opening act for the Allman Brothers. I like Luther Allison, Muddy Waters electric stuff from his Chicago period, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, (I saw those last four in concert live), SRV, Lonnie Brooks, Joe Bonamassa, Lowell Fulson...guys like that.

I have records of a lot of old stuff by Muddy Waters (1930's era Plantation Recordings on acoustic), Robert Johnson (complete recordings) Son House, John Lee Hooker, Lightning Hopkins, Lead Belly, Howlin Wolf, etc.

I was at that show at City Park. From what I recall, I thought he was better than the Allmans that night.
Was lucky to have caught a SRV concert - he played on the President, the old riverboat in NO. Was a triple bill with SRV, Dr John and BB King. Around 1986, as part of the NO Jazz Fest weeknight concert series.
