3 Paul Butterfield
4 Charlie Musselwhite
Know you love "Christo Redemptor," and so do I (whooda thunkit? :). But that, and "Blue Stu," might just be the most outstanding examples of jazz/blues fusion by any harpologist, save Butterfield's version of "Work Song."
5 Howlin' Wolf
The most distinctive voice on here. My cockatiel squawks whenever he hears him sing.
6 Little Walter
