Being only 18 i know im light years behind alot of people when it comes to music. But i am one of the few in highschool who even APPRICIATE blues...i love it..while everyone else is metal, punk, and rap..i am blues. Recently i joined a band with a KICK ASS guitar player...well we won a battle of the bands beating out 15 other bands..and when being interviewed afterwards, our guitar player said, go listen to SRV and you'll see why the judges picked us to win. We play all originals, but our style has a very bluesy feel, and i think that was releif for the judges.. As for SRV..he's my favorite..every note makes me feel something different. The sky is crying, Texas Flood, Life by the drop, Couldn't stand the weather, Pride and Joy, Crossfire, its all good!! every song of his i like..As far as innovation..to me each of his songs are a LITTLE different from the other..thats innovative enough..I wish he wouldn't have died...If he hadn't it could very well be "Jimmi Hendrix who?"
