What are some of your favorite artist? Not the main stream big names of the past.

I'm a fan of Tab Benoit. I like his style.

Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher are two of my favorites. Neither was ever mainstream, but if we're going to include mainstream artists, then I have to mention Johnny Winter.

Keb Mo lives down the street from me, so I'm pretty biased, but he's probably the most soulful blues artist I've ever heard

Went to Drew to help with my scales and soloing a few years ago. He is indeed a beast.

Not sure exactly what this means, but I assume Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Albert King, Freddie King Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf fall under that category...?
