Speaking only -- and broadly -- in the context of "rock & roll", may I, humbly, add/suggest:

Richard Thompson


Patty Larkin


Vicky Genfan


... and, not the best, but still my long time fave (despite the last 25 or so years of his career): Big T


... and, from the same concert, Pete with a "real" guitarist, John Williams. No, not that John Williams! The other one. :)

SIY Why too broad?

To me Stevie Ray is at best an average studio musician who JUST HAPPENS to play some incredibale music.

This type of "disagrement: is (to me anyway) why this hobby a9listening to music) can last a life time.

Having seen him live several times, I'd disagree. He was everything that Clapton is supposed to be but actually isn't. :D
