Are there any "White" famous blues artists?

Anything goes... just keep it clean.

Names!
(Not that I am being racist, I hate racists, but I'll have to refer to them as that) Of white blues music artists? :confused:

The Blues Brothers; sure they started out as a joke for Saturday Night Live!, but they were actually pretty good.

How about Eric Clapton.

I've heard Jack Teagarden belt out a good blues on records, but of course, that was more of a jazz-blues. And Led Zeppelin was founded on the idea of taking common blues riffs and slowing them down greatly.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Hmmm...would George Thorogood (sp?) qualify?

@Fable: Yep to Led Zep. Jimmy Page made the "power riff" famous by doing just that. I also think he was chiefly responsible for the transmogrification of blues-influenced riffs into the "heavy metal" of the 80's. (not to wander too far off topic. :eek: )

SRV Baby!! Stevie Ray Vaughn
Slowhand!! Eric Clapton

Both technically perfect and woefully soulful.
