I understand the distinction between Piedmont pickers and delta blues, but would, nevertheless classify John Hurt, Gary Davis, Mance Lipscomb, Jim Brewer, John Jackson etc., at least in the broad sense of the term, as blues players . I bet this topic has been discussed on Mudcat previously.Also, there are lots of people who are experts on the blues, who might disagree with me.Off topic, no matter how my musical taste changes, I love Rev. Davis, and listen to his recordings frequently.
