When Sugar Blue opines that alternate tunings are a "cop out" by lazy
players who haven't dug deep enough into Richter tuning, he is at least
indirectly disrespecting my main man, Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, who pioneered
his own alternate tuning in "On the Road Again" and several other
recordings.
I enjoy listening to Sugar Blue once in a while in limited doses. But I
enjoy listening to the Blind Owl a hell of a lot more, any time, anywhere
and til the cows come home.
