Stones



Not much to post, except I figured I should give a little update at least.

I'm in the middle of reading this book about the history of delta blues. Also, finished reading that Greil Marcus book I put on the side (it's like a "Studies in Classic American Literature," only for music). As a result, Robert Johnson's been in heavy rotation.

I guess I'd also ask: Anyone have any favorite blues guys for me to check out? Both books have opened up some new listening for me, but there's so much out there to process. I'd like to find out if any other readers have any favorite bluesmen.
