Do not misunderstand me, I like all the "new" bluesmen generation, such as Gary Clark, Joe Bonamassa, and so many more to mention here... but Kingfish PLAYS THE RIGHT STUFF AS IT SHOULD BE. I was delighted to see him playing offstage and in the crowd, it reminds me of Buddy Guy ! It's my favorite blues concert of this year so far (Eric Gales did cancel his Paris concert, but THANK YOU KINGFISH to be here !!!!!)
