I don't really like calling him a "blues guitarist". Even when he's playin the blues it doesn't really sound like any other blues guitarists. And then there's the side of him that you hear in songs like "Mahjoun", "sahib Teri bandi" and the whole "soul serenade" album, except for a song or two.

^ When you go to a concert, you keep choosing the kind of guys I`d like to see ! I really liked the clip you posted of "Sahib Teri Bandi", btw. Thanks.

^ There`s some great playing on the Live In Boston four-cd package. Have you heard it, R&R ?
I saw Pete Green playing one time in a London pub, but he turned in a very disappointing performance; some band had been put together, trying to cash in on his name, at a time when he really wasn`t up to playing in public.

^ Welcome to MB, 12barblues.
I wonder if by any chance you like blues music ?
Jimmy Thackery is a new name to me, so I thought I`d put up a clip in case anyone else is as ignorant as me. Pretty impressive, I must say !
