So Duster Bennett, Martin Simpson, John Martyn? are they any good in your view? Or do you have to be black and poor to be any good?
My point is that it's the music that is important, not the background of the performer. If you are a purist, then thats fine, but I believe all music is progressive (not in the prog rock sense) and evolution is preferable to stagnation. Even the blues is heavily derivative from the source materials of the early players!
