"roadhouse"?
Hendrix just played a different style of blues than the old timers, more aggressive and more distorted (obviously).
Albert king is great but I prefer BB. Much credit to Albert because he did have a unique style that was quite a bit different from BB's, but I just prefer BB. His tone was just so smooth and his phrases were so damn good. I think Albert might be my least favorite of the kings, it's close between him and Freddie. Freddie could really rip it when he wanted.
