I know there are many great guitarists out there today, a good deal I have been fortunate to see in-person. But I always levitate back to those who influeneced me the most. Buddy is about top of the heap.

I found a CD in my collection I bought at the dollar store 3 or 4 years ago. Never even opened it until today. It's called Austin, Texas: Rockin' the crossroads. I think it was a promo CD from a record label. Didn't even look at the liner notes, put it on and the second tune sounded really familiar. It was a tune by Doyle Bramhall called "Too Sorry" with Stevie Vaughan (not Stevie Ray) on guitar, Chris layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on bass. Great compilation disc. Other artist include Luther Tucker, Sue Foley, Kim Wilson and Snooky Pryor.
Right now ? I think I hear a Fender in there somewhere YouTube - MARY GAUTHIER -I DRINK ( LIVE) He'd get home at 5:30, fix his drink And sit down in his chair Pick a fight with mama Complain about us kids getting in his hair At night he'd sit alone and smoke I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame Now that same frown's in my mirror I got my daddy's blood inside my veins Fish swim Birds fly Daddies yell Mamas cry Old men Sit and think I drink Chicken TV dinner 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high A beer to wash it down with Then another, a little whiskey on the side It's not so bad alone here It don't bother me that every night's the same I don't need another lover Hanging 'round, trying to make me change Fish swim Birds fly Lovers leave By and by Old men Sit and think I drink I know what I am But I don't give a damn Fish swim Birds fly Daddies yell Mamas cry Old men Sit and think I drink
