The original sounded like Jerry Lee Lewis. The cover was gorgeous! I never noticed before how much Derek O'Brien looks like Duke Robillard.

Stevie & Ronnie - different versions of perfection! I'm not sure I hear much of Stevie in Ronnie's playing, but I know what you mean. I suppose they were both heavily influenced by the West Side players (Sam, Buddy, Otis) as well as by Hubert Sumlin - possibly the most under-rated of all the "golden era" Chicago players. I hear a lot of Hubert in Stevie's playing, though Hubert doesn't often get credited with this. People just seem to hear the Albert King & Hendrix influences.

Since we're having a blues-fest today, here's a few clips of Hubert - all too short I'm afraid.

When Hubert played London a few years ago, he had the old Ronnie Earl band with him, Dave Maxwell, Mudcat etc. Well worth seeing even without Hubert!

Nice.... I love Hubert's playing. I was just looking at the Howlin Wolf biography and saw pictures of little, young Hubert (probably in his teens) with Wolf who just towered over him.

Hubert seems like one of the nicest and most humbe guys out there..

HE was making me laugh on the "Antones" DVD, the interview of him in the extras section.

Bo Diddley - legend - RIP

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6F1Mk6U5zVY

Bo Diddley was a musical innovator who helped forge the sound and contributed to the style of rock 'n' roll. He sported a trademark fedora, played an iconic square-shaped guitar and from it he extracted a deep, rusty reverb and a peculiar playing style that influenced generations of players.

Diddley died Monday of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla.; he was 79. He'd been in ill health for much of the past year, having suffered a stroke and a heart attack in 2007.

Perhaps no guitarist was more influenced by Diddley's sound and style than ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, who carries on Diddley's tradition of strange-looking instruments and full-bodied guitar riffs with prickly solos. Gibbons called Diddley "the 'artiste.'

The Stones' Keith Richards told Rolling Stone magazine that watching Diddley "was university for me.''

Diddley's style was built on taking the simple and adding his own flair. He brought his tremelo-heavy guitar playing to the "shave and a haircut, two bits'' 5/4 rhythm, often adding a percussionist and his raspy baritone voice to the mix.

The beat is a thread running through rock history from Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away to George Michael's Faith.

+1 Stratman on Bo Diddley. He has influenced everyone who has ever picked up a guitar - whether you know it or not. Some of my faves are Diddley Daddy, Say Man and Roadrunner,

I was a teenager when I first heard George Thorogood - he introduced me to Elmore James, & also to Bo Diddley - with a killer version of Who Do You Love.

It's amazing what you can do with one chord....

Buddy Guy, from the mid 60s I guess:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vldWAadDv4&feature=related

A bit loose even by Buddy's standards (!), but he's clearly impressing a young lad called James Marshall Hendricks in the audience. Not bad for a man with only 5 strings on his Strat!
