Agreed, my friend. See, the only reason I was hesitant to say SRV was Jimi..but when you do think about I don't think he would've done much else that was as badass as his previous work. But SRV's entire carreer is stellar, he had finally found a good way to rock, given up drinking, and if it wasn't for that god damn copter crash would still be bluesin' out.

uh.. what is that based on? Yeah SRV was very inspired by Hendrix, but he was also inspired by tons of other blues artists.
Hell, I like SRV's version of Little Wing more than Jimi's. And I do love Jimi. But no, SRV did not copy Jimi's style.
