"SRV had a voice only a mother could love, but oh yeah, he did have that guitar :). "10-4 on the guitar! I don't remember about his voice. He tragically died just before I was turned on to him, and I don't have any of his albums, so all of what I know of him is what I've heard at friends homes and anecdotal anecdotes.
Eric Clapton is another story. I'm a huge fan. If you don't have it, you gotta get "One More Car, One More Rider" from 2001. The band is a who's-who of great rock musicians, including Steve Gadd on drums and Billy Preston on the Hammond organ. Eric has a new CD, the name of which escapes me. My wife bought it and put it on in the car, and wouldn't tell me who it was. I coulda swore it was a Black blues guy. It was EC!
Speaking of Black blues guitar... ya gotta find some music of my old friend Luther Allison. That guy could sing AND play. I think he died in Paris. (Edit: I just googled him, he died in Madison, WI. Huh.) We weren't like "good buds" - I only met him twice - but we got along and had a mental connection - we were on "the same page". Try to find his "Love Me Papa" album.
And then, there's Otis Redding, may he rest in peace. Talk about a guy who could SING! Whenever I'm in Madison, WI, his music comes into my head.
Anyway, they all have better voices than the unlistenable, but very talented, James Taylor. ;)
