It is judicially uncontested by Bob Dylan and or Bob Dylan's law firms Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, Parcher Hayes & Snyder, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Hecker Brown & Sherry and Sony House Counel that Bob Dylan and people in Bob Dylan's entourage have solicited James Damiano's songs and music for a period of over ten years eleven months. http://jamesdamiano.yolasite.com/

Albert King is really nice, he made a nice combination of blues and soul. You should also really hear his live album Live Wire/Blues Power, some heavy stuff.

If anyone would like to give me recommendations on some Blues music to start with, that would be great. I've never really listened to Blues, so I can't give you any starting points. But, really, just the best of genre would be good to start with.
