Def. understand the purist thing, but even though I really love the original blues peeps, I love myself some blues rock as well. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is prob. my fave album of all time and I love hearing Peter Green wail away, he's a master. The blues is such a malleable form, you can turn it into almost anything. I'd prob. even get into opera under blues circumstances.
