I think it is cool how American blues, and early rock & roll influenced the british musicians, which then influenced American musicians. I'm sure you know the Rolling Stones named themselves after a Muddy Waters song.
Those guys were enamored with American blues musicians. Good scene in the B.B. King documentary, The Life of Riley, where Keith Richards talks about trying to watch B.B., and to play that vibrato he is known for, and just failing miserably at it.
Yea Bagging On "The Stones" Likely The GOAT Band of All Time Is @stupid
