Seeing all the Robin Trower comparisons here made me reply:


I've seen both of these guys live and technically and in terms of showmanship Robin doesn't even come close to Joe, not by a long shot. From a guitarist's perspective, Robin needs loads of effect pedals and enhancements to impress and reach his sound as where Joe can blow you away with an unplugged acoustic guitar if he wants to.

It's all related to taste, i know, but in terms of skills i'd say it's not fair to compare Robin and Joe.


This song, 8 --> 8

Like Sonny Landreth to my ears. I like a couple of Joe's tracks, but this one is way too bombastic for my taste. As for blues originality, virtually all blues is 100% derivative. What's the beef... you either like the blues or you don't.

Best guitar player ever? Ha. He very well may be hot and terrific to see live, but in the same league as Hendrix and Jeff Beck? Not hardly.

Maybe Sonny waybackwhen, but last week he was a reeeefined slide guitar God.

Absolutely Robin Trower.

I'm also hearing Stevie Ray and Sonny Landreth. Guy's soaked 'em up by the bucketful.

Head bangers banquet- Robin Trower is clapping hands, friendly, and Duane Alman rolls in his grave, but, I can't helpmyself from picking the keys while playing air-guitar!!

actually, if u want to hear where he got his licks from try listening to Papa Staples...specifically "father father". u won't find this anywhere
but it is accurate (can b found in the rabbi book of gii-ttar goodness)...(.available 2 u for a nominal fee of course). i think wiki quotes him crediting bb king as a major traditional influence but really papa staples was da man.
