01 Oct 12 - 08:09 PM (#3412768) Subject: RE: BS: Any Doctor Ross Fans??? From: Bobert Oh, Google him up, Al... Oh, never mind... He's kinda the best unknown bluesman of the 50s and 60s... He played harmonica and guitar backwards as he was a leftie and he played drums with his feet... His sound is very distinct... His harmonica playing is great... He overblows a lot of notes... His voice is also great and you can hear that Jimi Hendrix had heard him sing... He's got the inflection... Blues guys know it... Jimi got it off him... B~ |

I first became aware of him after going through Tony "Little Son" Glover ' blues harmonica instruction book Anybody remember Tony Glover of Koerner Glover and Ray? They were from Minnesota Spider John Koerner is still around Dave Ray has passed on. Boogie Disease is a great tune. PS If you like Dr. Ross, check out Juke-Boy Bonner |
