Oct 8, 2008 - great slide playin'! It's both lowdown & refined at once. Or maybe it's like sweet & sour sauce. Not too sweet- not too sour, but sure is tasty!

Oct 17, 2008 - In 92 I wanted to know something more about the blues and I bought the CD " rare recordings from Chicago". I was astonished by the first number "Going down to Eli's" aka "Murdering blues". This was (and is) the number one reason why this white boy loves the blues. Rough, straight and without any compromission. Certainly after about 2 minutes the unbelieveble slide guitar and the drums not holding his rhytm. I love this song... But I love my woman.
