heli: barkin' bill
DKahnt: Miles Davis
ZeroZilla: Depends. I love it when Louis does it... but his are usually more upbeat. Billie was wonderful, of course... Downstream, timewise, I like Clapton's Unplugged and From the Cradle work. Also, George Thorogood (sp?) does a credible job. My favorite individual song of all time, however, was performed by Blind Willie Johnson. (Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground). Look it up, if you haven't heard it.
