Great Pick!!! Blind Lemon was and is a true national music treasure. Check out Taj Mahal's version as well, on "Natchl' Blues" I think. It's a real nice one too.
Yes he is ! I liked the Taj Mahal version and some others of his that I had not heard Thank you.

John Mayer is Class A, highly trained, musician, a graduate of the Jazz Institute in Boston, MA. His style is more jazz than blues. He's also an excellent composer. Eventhough he has some blues roots in his style, eventhough he is a fine guitarist and vocalist, I would not call him a true blues artist. I rest my case with the style of solos he made at the Crossroads Guitar Festival with Eric Clapton. But I must confess I love the guys work.

@jm2422 Agreed, John Mayer's not typically playing the blues (he's stylistically all over the place), and a couple of those cuts I posted were quite a stretch for blues, (posted as much for the lyrical sentiment as the musical structure) but that doesn't mean he can't play the blues with BB. ๐
