You said no Seasick Steve so this might be too far down the blues rock alleyway for you.

Interesting, impressive co-ordination! I used to play church organ and therefore know the pain of hands and legs doing different things. The blues stuff sounded fine for that style but I'm a hipster looking white guy so wouldn't be up for doing that really, however really liked the song from about 11:40 onwards in that video.

Joseph Arthur does a lot of solo looping stuff too, sometimes with a bit of a Beck 'Sea Change' kinda vibe.

There seem to be a couple KEXP sessions:

Richard Dawson is pretty idiosyncratic. Although he seems to be working more with a band these days

Blimey, I got into him for a while when I heard a Lennon cover he did and sought him out, completely gone out of my haed until I read that though! Cool stuff

Ha not really in the achievable zone though to be fair, I'm not a jazzer!

I went looking for Richard Thompson solo with his strat, which I remember a lot of from the eighties, but nada. Very odd. It's basically like his solo acoustic but with more bite, or his trio stuff, but without the other two.
