Nobody is or ever has been as good as this guy - nobody. He's original and can play anything. His use of single string runs, chords, jazz ideas, and just plain wild-ass shit gives him the ability to play something new every time you hear him. Joe bonamassa my fucking ass. Long live Jr!!!!!!

+Old School Blues Guitar I'm with you--I have only recently found out about him, his smile shows something like what I saw when Earl Hooker smiled (in those great American Folk Blues videos)--he's just the best there is! There is different, but not better.

325 likes???? This guy is a master musician, his style is immediately recognizable and uncopyable. The first time I heard him on the radio at a blues festival, I though for sure he was a black bluesman, boy was I wrong. He's one of those guy that every time he would buy some old weird guitar and play it publicly, prices on those models would skyrocket. He's out there still doing it, check out his guitar lessons and real old shows and what he's doing now. Love the man, met him once.

Yeah, I met him once too. I saw a different side of this person that wasn't particularly kind. Might explain why he isn't bigger than he is, frankly.

His work with the late, great harmonica player William Clarke is worth looking into. West Coast swing, jump blues is such a wonderful genre. I think Junior Watson is boss. Thanks for sharing this mighty clip, it's perfect plus !!!

Bonamassa has done amazing things with his marketing...and the fact that he sings gives him a leg up on a lot of these other guys...BUT, the biggest deal is; he has the rock edge-which a lot of folks GET who were looking for an SRV replacement in their lives. These fans of his don't all seem to appreciate the Jazz edge that the west coast swing players all do (Via Texan T-Bone Walker)...so it's more of a niche thing. JB has the talent to play this style if he wanted to I'm sure...but I'm like a lot of folks that don't get a lot of emotion out of what he does..I can say this as well tho', I couldn't tell the difference between , Watson, Harkenrider, Schultz et al. if I had no video-visual clue...as technically great as the "West coast" -(Really taken from Texas originally) style challenges these guys to be...it get's old real quick for me. Whereas I can tell the difference between B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters etc. within the first few notes. Distinction in styles is very much what the blues is all about, but these dudes all seem to wanna master the swing technique and pat. tricks-which they do VERY well but...I just think they are pretty indistinguishable and therefore become boring quickly...depending on my mood, I can hang with them for a little while tho.I enjoy it. Heck, I play some of it myself... BUT NOT ALL NIGHT!
