I am talking old, probably black, fat, probably dead, and playing semi hollow electric?

BB King is the example to start from? Who are your favorites?

Finding Freddie King on YouTube prompted me to start this thread.

Lightnin' Hopkins. He's skinny, but he's a got-damned legend.

Haven't see Elmore James mentioned yet, so I'll throw him and T Bone Walker in.

BB is a fake

Robert Johnson is where you start & it ain't even close.

Robert Johnson might be the best of the old blues. But one of my favorites that hasn't gotten any mention yet is Champion Jack Dupree

Great performance of Junker's Blue's with King Curtis

Lightning Hopkins is my favorite.....by FAR! It seems he has never played a wrong note . Pink Anderson is another favorite, but didn't put out a lot of records.

My all time favorite musician, blues or otherwise, is Gatemouth Brown.
