Agree w/ much if this
Would also add an emphatic vote
for
-- Howlin' Wolf
-- Muddy Waters
-- Little Willie John
-- B.B. King
-- And yeah, John Lee Hooker, altho not everything on every album, I like 'Crawlin' King Snake' pretty hard tho, for some reason.
Also, totally agree that Bessie Smith is, in the words of Bonnie Raitt, "Just the baddest Thing That Ever Walked."
So yeah.
