top 100 blues guitarists

[jazzboCR]

Hubert Sumlin Howlin' Wolf's lead guitarist for 20 years, and continued with The Wolf Pack another 5. As a mark of deep respect, The Glimmer Twins paid his funeral costs. 17 discs under his own name. The later CD to get is '98's I Know You--A bit pricey but 4-1/2 stars. Sings pretty effectively too.
