He is one of the greatest bluesmen to come from the Welsh Valleys. His real name is Owen Evans

Last night, I went to se The "Jimi Hendrix Experience." There were some fantastic bluesmen there. Some of the names I remember are Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Hubert Sumlin. But, when Hubert Sumlin played, , it was a whole different kind of Blues, and tears came to my eyes. You can see Sumlin in "lightening in a bottle," or buy the CD. happy listening. doug

awesome!! he only played for about 15 seconds in this video, but how much it revealed, man. just a small part of blues theme, a piece of cake for him, still there was great feeling in it. a lifetime's playing is behind this 15s
