I hadn't played this record in a long time. Like many people I first started listening to the blues being played by a white guy. In this case a really white guy. I bought this album in 1969 along with some Canned Heat records. Now I'd already listened to a lot of British musicians who had been playing the music of Black American bluesmen but it would be a few more years before I really started exploring the music of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, B.B, King, Little Walter, etc, etc. which I picked up from some black shipmates. In the meantime Johnny Winter was giving me a dose of the blues.
