The old generation of bluesmen is getting pretty small.
RIP Hubert Sumlin |

Location: Orlando, FL | That's a fitting tribute. I know Hubert's playing influenced Keith as well as Clapton and Beck.
When the Stones did the TV show Shindig back in the early 60's, they only agreed to do the show if Howlin Wolf could perform too. Not sure if Hubert played on the show or if Wolf used the house band with James Burton on guitar. |
