amazing how 39 years later a young man who was just as influential, and bought these styles together so the masses could have exposure to such great talents also died on August 16th.

Im sorry but I never quite saw what was special about R.J. Sleepy John Estes did songs like "Down South" and "Everybody gotta change" that sound as though they were recorded in the 70's. THAT is extraordinary.
R.J was probably the first name to emerge at the time but listening to the whole album in one go you see how basic and repetitive each track is.
I can see the extent of his influence obviously. I simply remain puzzled.Was it simply chance that he was so influential?

There was an article in Rolling Stone when they dedicated the Mount Zion marker in the early 90's. They asked the preacher what he thought about it. He replied. "They sure are making a lot of fuss over a guy who sold his soul to the devil".

The third site at the Little Zion Church just NW of downtown Greenwood is considered by locals to be the real site where RJ's bones are buried. There is a marker stone near a large tree at the rear of the graveyard just off the highway. By chance I happened to meet Mark Hoffman, 'Wolf's biographer there last week. He told me his and other researches all suggest this is the REAL grave. I got the strongest vibe from this site too - just felt like RJ was in the place - very heady and spooky.
