As much as I genuinely love the guitar skills of vintage blues artists, I really wish they'd stop singing. I had to stop all the above clips about 1 minute in despite enjoying the playing, because the voices just spoiled it. I think that's the main reason I've never been able to get into the genre. That, and my blues-loving friends playing compilation cds where half the songs sound exactly the same :?
Sorry, didn't mean to sound quite so negative there and I do appreciate how influential they were/are on a lot of the artists that I do like.
