James Booker is my current obsession. He was so so good, so incredibly cool, and he made it all seem effortless.
My personal favorite is “A Taste of Honey.” Plus he looks so supercool and piratical on the covers of the 1990s Rounder discs Resurrection Of The Bayou Maharajah and Spiders On The Keys. I used to go to the Maple Leaf (where these sides were recorded) pretty regularly to see the Rebirth Brass Band.
