That's kind of an old debate thing that everybody comes to Steve. He certainly did the blues thing, but his whole style, his music, and everything else make MJH a real folk musician. Many great players have had their effect and their lineage traced to today's players......But for my buck, that MJH style comes through most strongly. The first time I heard him it was obvious how many had gravitated to that picking pattern, personalized perhaps, but MJH at its roots.
