I can just say that after 35 years of following the blues I've found that the more polished up a blues players technique is the less I like it. As I said, sloppyness is a whole 'nother thing (not good), but a HIGH LEVEL of polish doesn't work for me either. Maybe I'm just weird...
I think I know where you're coming from Steve... I once saw Isaac Perlman play the blues and, well, it didn't really do it for me... certainly not in the way Papa John Creach would've handled it.

Anyway... discussion for another thread for sure.
