This guy keeps coming up on my pandora radio station. He's really good. Anybody know more about him? I'm surprised I'd not seen his name before.

Snooky Prior? Invented the concept of amplifying blues harp, apparently.. and the opening line for "Juke"

His late 40s recordings with Moody Jones are worth checking out.

When pandora was working in the uk I too used to listen a lot to Snooky and i hadn't heard of him before. Another one that pandora brought up was Lazy Lester who I thought was excellent too. I only wish they'd sort out the licsensing issues so I could listen to it again!!

he is the master of simple lines.
it is not easy to make it sound that simple, maybe more complex than at first listen?
