in terms of cool, no one, not even mr dulli, comes close to taj mahal, in my opinion. everything he does sounds absolutely effortless. he cant be just pinned down as a “blues” artist cause he combines so many styles into one cohesive art form and again, all effortlessly. just listen “why did you have to desert me” and try to deny its coolness.
