You could go straight to the master - listen to the Complete Recordings of
Robert Johnson and your perspective may be altered.

I think I saw The Black Keys on Letterman one night, am I right? If that
was who I'm thinking of they are great. Anyway, I will check 'em out.
Several folks have told me about Albert Collins now. Thanks! Good group
here....

Yeah, the Keys were on some late night show; I dont recall which one it
was. They're a 2 piece: guitars/vocals and drums. For being a white
guy from Ohio, their singer sounds like he grew up in the Delta
