They all have their own quirks and strong points. I find that Jr. has a hurky jerky way of phrasing but he's melodically/harmonically the most adventurous. But they're all great, Hollywood Fats, Duke Robillard, Charlie Baty, Ronnie Earl, Alex Schultz........
I can't believe he said he didn't like Roy Buchanan. It must have been in a bad setting in a bad time in his life when he saw Roy, because some of his recording are the greatest guitar playing ever, period. One of the greatest overall performers ever. At his best his shows were like religious experiences.
The legendary Slippery Noodle Inn in Indianapolis would book touring national acts on weekdays so it was with glee I went to see Jr. on a Tuesday night. Lo and behold some fool in the sparse crowd requests Stevie Ray Vaughn! LOL! I asked Jr. about that during his break and he said it happens all the time. Imagine that!
He name checks many greats here but around 24 minutes he mentions Peter Green but then goes off at a tangent! I'd love to hear any Greeny stories Junior has.....
At 21:59 , he asked Junior about a "Viking Theme Song"....It's actually called "En la gruta del rey de la montaña" or "In The Hall Of The Mountain King".....now MY questions is how in world did Junior stumble across THAT tune and decide to play it on guitar?
