Khandu,

Very nice. I just discovered MJH about a year ago. I was browsing the Blues section at the local CD store and picked up Avalon Blues on a whim. I expected him to sound like Robert Johson or Son House. What a surprise. He has since become a favourite of mine. What a voice, what a player and songwriter.

I was listening to Son House on the way to work this morning and it got me thinking of just how different MJH was to his contemporaries. To the point that I'm wondering if his music should be considered Blues or is it more folk?
