I think he's very under-rated as well - for some reason he seems to be looked down on a bit by 'serious' blues fans... I don't know why - possibly because he's never been afraid to not be a purist about it, but I've always loved his strange combination of blues and 60s film-score influences.

I love his guitar playing, but I suspect one reason his guitar playing abilities are not properly recognised, is that he has such a great voice and is a fantastic songwriter. So he tends to get thought of primarily as a singer / songwriter. I've read an interview where he resented that he was seen as a singer, but not so much a proper guitarist. I love the way he plays for the song though - not just sticking a solo in to show off his abilities.
{admin edit @John_P - agreed it was, but by re-quoting it, I have to edit another post to remove it! Just flag things like that please, ]
Hopefully he’s ok and will be back playing very soon.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
How anyone can compare him to JJ Cale is beyond me!
