All Music Guide has an excellent bio and the CD Discovery section will steer you in the right direction: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:giftxqr5ldfe

Thanks Jaimoe, RC!

Obviously the first thing I did was check allmusic. It's an essential resource that I use a few times a day but I also like to hear from fans + sometimes their star system & reviews don't relate (for example Rory Gallagher's ST debut gets 3 stars yet they describe it as a 'consistently superb album'...that & 3 stars for It Still Moves?!! WTF?!!)

It's a great resource, however their reviews are odd sometimes. ISM is a perfect example. There are several others that the text give this just glowing review and it's like 2 stars.  :-/

It's true, but the general writing part of the reviews are mostly bang-on. I know that they gave It Still Moves an ordinary rating, but you know what, the album is flawed, so I can't hold it against them.

If you like SRV and electric blues check these guys out...they've broken up several years ago but they are re-releasing a special CD with some live footage.  I really dig these guys and wish they were still doing their thang.  Great name too, The Hoax!

Also, some electric blues in the SRV style is Indigenous

[The DARK]

Also, here's a local and one of the most underrated bluesmen ever. I just saw him last night, and the amazing voice and guitar skills are still intact at age 75.
