It's interesting to find the links between early blues and later rock n roll... I think Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan were undoubtedly influenced by Chris Bouchillon an early South Carolina performer...

A great lineage to follow.

I love the strength of Woody Guthrie to weave those "Mean Talking Blues" lyrics! :ugeek:

Love this. Most of my favorite rock blues bands had influences from the early years. It's great to see the progression in the music. Love the early Fleetwood Mac stuff.this is my first time hearing about chris b. Thanks, always love learning about this stuff.
