    Avante,
    Why did you forget one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Texas bluesmen-----Freddie King?




    Here is a song Leon Russell wrote for Freddie as well as producing the song and playing the piano:

    It's either because Freddie isn't black enough or Avante was preoccupied trying to put his finger in som kid's butt.

    Lightnin' Hoopkins is the king of the Texas blues.

    I always forget Freddie King and I think it's because of this...

    King had an intuitive style, often creating guitar parts with vocal nuances.[28] He achieved this by using the open string sound associated with Texas blues and the raw, screaming tones of West Side, Chicago blues. As King combined both the Texas and Chicago sounds, this gave his music a more contemporary outlook than many Chicago bands who were still performing 1950s-style music, and he befriended the younger generation of blues musicians. In his early career he played a gold top Gibson Les Paul with P-90 pickups through a Gibson GA-40 amplifier, later moving on to Gibson ES-355 guitars,[29] using a plastic thumb pick and a metal index-finger pick to achieve an aggressive finger attack, a style he learned from Jimmy Rogers.[citation needed

    See this is why you have to ask me that question, instead of worrying about something like that ya need to be educating yourself on them blues instead. You come off s a lazy . This is way you rely on others.

    Dude, if you're into them blues why act like a total asshole to the one guy who knows about everyone who has ever recored a.."blues".,..tune, yep...everyone. But you're too ing stupid to be cool and learn something.

    Here ya go head, the one and only Bobbie Cadillac and her masterpiece.






    A guy on thre internet willing to school your dumb ass on them blues and look how ya act, sheesh~~~~~~~
