Who are the top 3 best blues artist of all time?
And dont say BB King, its too predictable. If thats your answer, then put down your second, third, and fourth best.
Ill start...
1. Howlin Wolf (because of his amazing gravel/whisky/rusty nails voice)
2. John Lee Hooker
3. Bobby "Blue" Bland
Discuss....
Answer: I don't think you nail down just one "best" blues artist...the blues are so diverse, and complex, and yet can still be so achingly simple...
I'd have to say
1. T Bone Walker-his influence on blues music during his own time, and his influence on the British bands that turned the blues into blues rock. (Which in turn, is still highly influencing music today.)
2. John Lee Hooker-and since you've already got him listed, I guess you already probably know the reasons why.
3. Bessie Smith-this lady turned anything into the blues!!! Her music is as relevant today as it was when it was first recorded.
