Question I know your expertise is Stevie's guitars but I'm asking you a different question.Is there any relativily new artists out there that are following the footsteps of SRV? Someone that can tear up the guitar almost as good as Stevie could? If so tell me their most impressive song that you know of.Thanks~~Tim
Answer There are several young musicicans who seem to have been greatly influenced by SRV. The first one that comes to mind is Kenny Wayne Shepherd - my favorite tune of his is "Blue On Black." Some other newer blues guitarists to check out:
Jonny Lang
Shannon Curfman ("Playing With Fire")
Doyle Bramhall Jr.
Chris Duarte (check out his album Tailspin Headwhack)
Jordan Cook ("Help Me")
Susan Tedeschi
Joanne Shaw Taylor (she plays a great song called "Heat")
