Good idea about looking for other influences. I've been working on Albert King a lot and his monster bends really lend themselves to slide - I think Johnny Winter's (one of my favorite sliders) slide play has been influenced by Albert.

Winter is a guy I hear about all the time, and I've read some interviews with him...any suggestions?

Progressive Blues Experiment is an awesome album. Also the three albums he did with Muddy Waters - Hard Again, King Bee, and I'm Ready - are my favorite blues albums. Two won Grammies. His slide playing on those albums is what I aspire to, and Muddy's is good too.

I've been working on his song Dallas, which is a kickin' song for the resonator.
