I've listened to older stuff - B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf.
If you consider that to be the older stuff, then methinks,
that you should explore the Blues from the 1930's to the '40's when the Robert Johnson, Charles Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, artist you mention Because the 60's, at least the early part of the decade was nothing more than a rediscovery of blues artist like Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Lightin Hopkins, along with Muddy Waters and Chester "Howlin Wolf" Burnett were creating the music that later artist would like B.B. King, Taj, Vaughn and Trucks pay homage to in any interview that they have ever given about the their roots in the blues.
I always thought Jimmie was just as talented as his little brother Stevie Ray. I saw Jimmie when he was a 16 year-old prodigy playing lead guitar for a group called the Chessman at a local dance in Garland, TX. A few months later they opened for Hendrix at McFarlin auditorium in Dallas. Or maybe it was at the Music Hall in Fair Park? Hendrix played both places as I recall.
Good stuff...
