CEB Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 SRV of blues organ???? I guess it would have to be somebody like Jordan Rudess maybe Wakeman.

Dave Weiser Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 [Wasn't this a recent topic on this forum?] I say Lee Michaels is your best bet for an SRV equivalent. Like Stevie Ray, he's a great singer and a killer (but not wanky/shreddy) player.

Bridog6996 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not even sure I understand the question. What qualities of Stevie Ray Vaughan are you looking for? Like, for instance, are you talking about something specific like playing style, or are you just looking for blues organists?

Adan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't understand the question, but will try to riff with it anyway. How about keyboard players (organ or otherwise) who have covered Hendrix and done it well. If they exist, I'd love to know who they are.

bluzeyone Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well considering Stevie's tone, energy, and overall musical personality..I think I have a close runner up..The late, great Brent Mydland. starting at about 4:30 on the clock [video:youtube] "A good mix is subjective to one's cilia." http://hitnmiss.yolasite.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenner13 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 She's gone quite glam pop the last year or two but Grace Potter has fantastic pipes and some wonderful Hammond technique. However, I never thought of SRV and Ms Potter as a comparison until this odd question was posed a second time. Here's an example of her earlier stuff: I like a lot of her newer stuff with the Nocturnals okay, but am hoping and waiting for her to return to this edgier bluesy stuff she did 5+ years ago. edit: Well here's one more recent and more Hammond focused: http://youtu.be/iQzIOmNX3wQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I thought we settled this. It's Stevie Ray Winwood. Or Mike Finnegan. Both with incredible voices and great blues organ chops. [video:youtube] [video:youtube] Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-missRichardTee Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes on Stevie Winwood and Lee Michaels. And is Jordan a known Blues badass?

brenner13 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The greatest hits selections are certainly over played as much as any top 40 artist from the 80's or certain Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes, but the lesser known b-side jewels continue to shine the genius that SRV possessed. I still dig the Family Style recording he did with his brother Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Am I the only person who is not overly impressed with the music of SRV? I've heard enough of it to last me a lifetime. As a blues guitarist you are not alone. I have nothing against him as a rock artist. He was a twin edged sword. He was responsible for a bump in blues popularity and probably resulted in more blues gigs but what his work did to the blues landscape at the local level sort of sucked.

Joe Muscara Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 what his work did to the blues landscape at the local level sort of sucked. This. There are too many cats who try to play just like him. They a) don't have their own sound (save for sounding like a sucky SRV clone) and 2) don't know the sources where SRV got it from, Albert King, Freddie King, etc. etc. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

CEB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Stevie got it from Trower. At the core he played more Trower than anyone. He used a couple of Albert's signature bend licks but he played like Trower. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

ABECK Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've got to go with Steve Windwood too(Billy Preston is a good choice as well.) Stevie Ray was a great "pop" blues player (if there's such a thing.) He balanced the line pretty well between both worlds. I really wouldn't consider him an innovator, or a virtuouso. But he had a good combination of playing, writing and performing. So, yeah, I'd throw Winwood in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-missRichardTee Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 SRV played with intensity, that seems unusually high. And I thought ( I am not a guy who has listened a whole lot to him so ) him and his bands rhythmic tightness were impressive. I liked his sound a lot. In short, I like him a lot.

bluzeyone Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well..Leave it to a b3 player to solve this puzzle! I don't know how Winwood slipped through my brain pan( must be the holes in it lol) but he's got the mojo for sure! And Finnagan is a ripper too! I like the manual jumps he was doin at the end of the clip. Real cool! Thanks for sharing! it made my youtube playlist for sure!

I'll have to agree that the top choices cited so far would be, Reece, Winwood and Lucky. I honestly am baffled that anyone would thing of Jordan or Wakeman as "Blues" players in the spirit of this question. Even Joey is miscast here imho. All tremendous players, but not what I'd call Blues players. My vote though, considering SRV's style and character goes to someone almost no one here has ever heard of. Jimmy Calire I wish I could find some online audio/video from the 60s-70s to show you what I mean. He was (and probably still is) one of the best I ever heard. Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ..... I honestly am baffled that anyone would thing of Jorday or Wakeman as "Blues" players in the spirit of this question. ... I don't think they are blues players. But the question was who is a blues eqivilent of SRV.
