Great post by Stewie and yes, Clapton outisde of his more poppy stuff is a Blues player. By the way, I want to know who ( all responses are welcomed) do you think is more of a "Blues" musician/player and then give a short reason why you picked who you picked.

jimmy rodgers or blind blake

henry thomas or dock boggs

bill monroe or josh white

jimmy page or wes montgomery

leadbelly or frank hutchison

Duane Allman or charlie christian
