Clapton or SRV (blues, house, jazz, rock, genre)

"Crossfire" seals the deal for me.

That being said, if you want the true essence of what SRV is all about, listen to him live. His "Live at Carnegie Hall" is simply masterful. The sound leaves a bit to be desired, simply because Carnegie Hall was built for acoustic music, not electric.

For a more intimate setting, pick up Albert King w/ Stevie Ray Vaughan "In Session". It's just the two of them and a few studio musicians, and a couple of mikes. The raw sound of pure blues is almost too much for the human mind to comprehend. LOL.

In addition to those two live ones, I also own "Live Alive, and a bootleg "Rockin' on the River", recorded in a riverboat casino.

On a side note, everyone has that one musician that simply reaches in further than any other. The one that speaks directly to you. Stevie Ray was that one for me. It will be 15 years next month since SRV was killed, and I still get a lump every once in a while thinking about the loss he was to the blues community. Sappy, I know, but hey, the guy spoke to me with his guitar.

thanks for that dude....

i think ill pick up "sky is crying" first, but i doubt that will be the only album i pick up by him so ill probably get one of your recommendations after that...

also, in regards to the earlier posts about clapton, is this just his solo stuff not including his efforts with Cream?

I love his stuff with Cream and The Bluesbreakers. Ireally think its his best work.

as for cc deville, you're the lucky one, deville played for poison, quite possibly one of the worst guitarists ever.

I belive Ckapton is better, he's a much mroe versatile guitarist being bale to play rock n roll as well as blues and much softer rock as well..
